skillme

The missing plugin manager for Claude Code.

skillme detects your project stack and installs the right Claude Code plugins in one command — no manual searching, no browsing marketplaces, no editing config files by hand.

Browse plugins & stacks → skillme-cli.vercel.app

Commands

skillme init

Detects your stack and recommends plugins. Interactive checklist — select what you want, install in one shot.

skillme init
skillme init --scope project   # share with your team via git

skillme search <query>

Searches across all known marketplaces. Select a result to install immediately.

skillme search "git workflow"
skillme search "python lsp"

skillme install <name>

Installs a specific plugin by name.

skillme install commit-commands
skillme install github --scope project

skillme info <name>

Shows details for a plugin — description, tags, marketplace, required binaries, and recommended stacks.

skillme info commit-commands
skillme info typescript-lsp

skillme list

Shows all installed plugins grouped by scope, with descriptions.

skillme list

skillme upgrade

Re-installs all installed plugins to pick up the latest versions.

skillme upgrade

skillme update

Refreshes the marketplace index from GitHub.

skillme update

skillme sync

Syncs your project plugin setup via a skillme.json lockfile — the team-sharing feature.

First time (create the lockfile):

skillme sync          # reads project-scope plugins → writes skillme.json
git add skillme.json && git commit -m "add skillme plugin config"

New team member (install from lockfile):

git pull              # gets skillme.json
skillme sync          # installs any missing plugins automatically

Update the lockfile after installing new plugins:

skillme install some-plugin --scope project
skillme sync --save   # overwrites skillme.json with current state

skillme doctor

Checks your environment for problems — Claude CLI, Node version, plugin binary requirements, and settings file integrity.

skillme doctor

skillme uninstall [name]

Removes an installed plugin. Interactive picker if no name is given.

skillme uninstall commit-commands
skillme uninstall   # interactive

Install scopes

Every install command accepts --scope to control where the plugin is saved:

| Scope | File | Use case | |---|---|---| | user | ~/.claude/settings.json | Just you, all projects (default) | | project | .claude/settings.json | Shared with your team via git | | local | .claude/settings.local.json | Just you, this project, gitignored |

skillme init --scope project   # recommended for teams

Supported stacks

30+ stacks detected automatically from your project files:

| Category | Stacks | |---|---| | Frontend | Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte | | Backend | Node.js, Express, Fastify, NestJS, FastAPI, Django, Flask, Spring, Laravel, Rails, Gin, Echo, Fiber, Actix, Axum | | Language | TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP, Dart/Flutter, Kotlin, Swift | | Database | Prisma | | DevOps | GitHub Actions, Docker |

Detection reads package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, pubspec.yaml, .csproj, pom.xml, build.gradle, Gemfile, composer.json, Dockerfile, .github/workflows/, and README.md (as a fallback).

How it works

1. Detects your stack by reading config files in your project root
2. Fetches recommendations from a curated index built from 4 marketplaces (167+ plugins)
3. Ranks plugins — Anthropic official first, then community
4. Installs via Claude Code CLI — wraps claude plugin install under the hood

The index (data/index.json) lives in this repo and refreshes nightly via GitHub Actions. No external service required.

Requirements

• Claude Code installed (claude in your PATH)
• Node.js 18+

Contributing

Add a marketplace

Edit the marketplaces array in data/index.json and open a PR:

{
  "id": "your-marketplace-id",
  "repo": "your-github-username/your-repo",
  "trusted": false,
  "description": "What this marketplace focuses on"
}

The marketplace must follow the plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json structure used by the official Anthropic marketplace.

Add stack recommendations

Edit the recommendations section in data/index.json:

"your-framework": ["plugin-one", "plugin-two"]

Build locally

git clone https://github.com/Abid101e/Skill-me
cd Skill-me
npm install
npm run build       # compiles src/ → dist/ with tsup
npm run dev         # run CLI directly with tsx (no build step)

Why not /plugin discover?

The built-in Claude Code plugin tab only shows the official Anthropic marketplace. It has no cross-marketplace search, no stack-based recommendations, and no one-command team setup.

skillme is the layer on top that makes discovery and install fast.
