skillset

Manage skills and plugins for Claude. Group skills from skills.sh or GitHub into named collections and install them with a single command.

Requirements

• Claude CLI must be installed

Installation

npm install -g @andbc/skillset

Usage

skillset <command>

Commands

| Command | Description | |---|---| | create | Create a new skillset | | add <url\|plugin@marketplace> | Add a skill or plugin reference | | remove [skillset] [skill] | Remove a skill or plugin from a skillset | | list [owner/repo] | List skillsets locally or from a GitHub repo | | install <path\|owner/repo> | Install skillsets from a local path or GitHub |

Workflow

1. Create a skillsets repo

mkdir my-skillsets && cd my-skillsets
skillset create

2. Add skills and plugins

# skills.sh or GitHub skill
skillset add https://skills.sh/user/repo/skill-name
skillset add https://github.com/user/repo

# Claude Code plugin (marketplace must be configured first)
skillset add plugin-name@marketplace-name

References are stored in .skillsets/<name>.json — no files are copied.

3. Push to GitHub, then install anywhere

skillset install user/my-skillsets

Or install from a local path:

skillset install .

Skills are always installed at project scope — into the current working directory's .claude/ folder.

Example

Install skills from andydbc/skillsets:

skillset install andydbc/skillsets

Skillset format

Each skillset is a JSON file in the .skillsets/ directory:

{
  "$skillset": true,
  "name": "frontend",
  "description": "Frontend development skills",
  "dependencies": [
    {
      "skill": "skill-name",
      "repo": "user/repo",
      "source": "https://skills.sh/user/repo/skill-name"
    },
    {
      "type": "plugin",
      "name": "plugin-name",
      "marketplace": "marketplace-name"
    }
  ]
}
