Skill Cabinet: Local Catalog and Manager for AI Agent Skills
Repositorysubsy/skill-cabinetTool
Skill Cabinet is a local management tool that scans, analyses, deduplicates, and manages agent skills installed across your machine.
Key points
- Scans directories such as .agents, .claude, .codex, .cursor (including plugins), and Hermes profiles for skill files.
- Provides a local web interface on localhost:3781 with keyboard shortcuts and filters for invocation, risk, and storage type.
- Detects identical copies across folders, broken links, virtual references, and static risks in skill bodies.
- Enables deleting or quarantining skills into ~/.skill-cabinet/quarantine, with support for restoring them.
- Displays skill contents (rendered or source), YAML frontmatter, and file-system census statistics.
Why it matters
Developers running multiple AI coding tools and agents often accumulate overlapping, untracked skills. Skill Cabinet brings visibility to local skill storage and allows auditing and cleaning them from a single interface.
Analysis
The project solves an emerging operational issue in AI-assisted development environments: skill sprawl across home directories. Built in JavaScript under the MIT license, it requires Node 20+, runs purely on localhost, and can be launched immediately via npx. With 390 stars and 25 forks, it represents a focused, functional early-stage utility featuring risk filtering, disk-usage auditing, and quarantine mechanisms.
