  Manages and syncs AI CLI skills and agents across 50+ tools from a single source.
  Use this skill whenever the user mentions "skillshare", runs skillshare commands,
  manages skills or agents (install, update, uninstall, sync, audit, analyze, check, diff, search),
  or troubleshoots skill/agent configuration (orphaned symlinks, broken targets, sync
  issues). Covers both global (~/.config/skillshare/) and project (.skillshare/)
  modes. Also use when: adding new AI tool targets (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.),
  setting target include/exclude filters or copy vs symlink mode, using backup/restore
  or trash recovery, piping skillshare output to scripts (--json), setting up CI/CD
  audit pipelines, building/sharing skill hubs (hub index, hub add), or working with
  agents (single .md files synced to agent-capable targets like Claude, Cursor,
  Augment, OpenCode) via positional `agents` filter or `--kind agent`, plus
  `.agentignore` and `enable`/`disable` for per-agent toggles.

# Skillshare CLI

Global: `~/.config/skillshare/skills/` → all AI CLIs. Project: `.skillshare/skills/` → repo-local.
Auto-detects project mode when `.skillshare/config.yaml` exists. Force with `-p` or `-g`.

## Recipes

### Getting Started
```bash
skillshare init --no-copy --all-targets --git --skill  # Fresh global setup
skillshare init -p --targets "claude,cursor"            # Fresh project setup
skillshare init --copy-from claude --all-targets --git  # Import from existing CLI
skillshare init --discover --select "windsurf"          # Add new AI tool later
```
### Installing Skills
```bash
skillshare install user/repo -s pdf,commit       # Select specific skills
skillshare install user/repo --all               # Install everything
skillshare install user/repo --into frontend     # Place in subdirectory
skillshare install gitlab.com/team/repo          # Any Git host
skillshare install user/repo --track             # Enable `update` later
skillshare install user/repo -b develop --all    # Install from branch
skillshare install user/repo --track -b develop  # Track specific branch
skillshare install user/repo -s pdf -p           # Install to project
skillshare install                               # Reinstall all tracked remotes from config
skillshare sync                                  # Always sync after install
```
### Extras (Rules, Commands, Prompts)
```bash
skillshare extras init rules --target ~/.claude/rules --target ~/.cursor/rules
skillshare extras init commands --target ~/.claude/commands --mode copy
skillshare extras init rules --target ~/.claude/rules --source ~/shared/rules  # custom source (global only)
skillshare extras init rules --target ~/.cursor/rules --force                  # overwrite existing
skillshare extras init                               # Interactive TUI wizard (incl. source step)
skillshare extras source                             # Show current extras_source
skillshare extras source ~/shared/extras             # Set global extras_source
skillshare extras list                               # Show status per target
skillshare extras list --json                        # JSON with source_type field
skillshare extras collect rules                      # Pull local files into source
skillshare extras remove rules                       # Remove from config (source preserved)
skillshare extras init agents --target ~/.claude/agents --flatten  # Flatten subdirs into root
skillshare extras rules --mode copy                  # Change sync mode of a target
skillshare extras agents --flatten                   # Enable flatten on existing target
skillshare sync extras                               # Sync all extras to targets
skillshare sync extras --dry-run --force             # Preview / overwrite conflicts
skillshare sync --all                                # Sync skills + extras together
```

### Creating & Discovering Skills
```bash
skillshare new my-skill                          # Create with interactive pattern selection
skillshare new my-skill -P reviewer              # Use reviewer pattern directly
skillshare search "react testing"                # Search GitHub for skills
skillshare collect                               # Pull target-local changes back to source
```
### Removing Skills
```bash
skillshare uninstall my-skill                    # Remove one (moves to trash)
skillshare uninstall skill-a skill-b             # Remove multiple
skillshare uninstall -G frontend                 # Remove entire group
skillshare sync                                  # Always sync after uninstall
```
### Enable / Disable Skills
```bash
skillshare disable draft-*                       # Hide from sync (adds to .skillignore)
skillshare enable draft-*                        # Restore (removes from .skillignore)
skillshare disable my-skill -p                   # Project mode
skillshare disable my-skill --dry-run            # Preview
# TUI: press E in `skillshare list` to toggle
skillshare sync                                  # Always sync after toggle
```
### Team / Organization
```bash
# Creator: init project (see Getting Started) → add skills → commit .skillshare/
skillshare install -p && skillshare sync                  # Member: clone → install → sync
skillshare install github.com/team/repo --track -p        # Track shared repo
skillshare push                                           # Cross-machine: push on A
skillshare pull                                           # Cross-machine: pull on B
```
### Skill Hubs
```bash
skillshare hub add https://example.com/hub.json          # Save a hub source
skillshare hub add https://example.com/hub.json --label my-hub  # With custom label
skillshare hub list                                      # List saved hubs
skillshare hub default my-hub                            # Set default hub
skillshare hub remove my-hub                             # Remove a hub
skillshare hub index --source ~/.config/skillshare/skills/ --full --audit  # Build hub index
```
### Controlling Where Skills Go
```bash
# SKILL.md frontmatter: metadata.targets: [claude] → only syncs to Claude
skillshare target claude --add-include "team-*"   # glob filter
skillshare target claude --add-agent-include "team-*"  # agent glob filter
skillshare target claude --add-exclude "_legacy*"  # exclude pattern
skillshare target claude --agent-mode copy         # agents copy mode
skillshare target codex --mode copy && skillshare sync --force  # copy mode
# .skillignore — hide skills/dirs from discovery (gitignore syntax)
#   Root-level: <source>/.skillignore (affects all commands)
#   Repo-level: <source>/_repo/.skillignore (scoped to that repo)
#   .skillignore.local — local override (not committed), negation overrides base
```
See [targets.md](references/targets.md) for details.
### Updates & Maintenance
```bash
skillshare check                              # See what has updates
skillshare update my-skill && skillshare sync  # Update one
skillshare update --all && skillshare sync     # Update all
skillshare update --all --diff                 # Show what changed
```
### Scripting & CI/CD
```bash
skillshare status --json                       # Full status as JSON
skillshare check --json                        # Update status as JSON
skillshare sync --json                         # Sync results as JSON
skillshare diff --json                         # Diff results as JSON
skillshare install user/repo --json            # Install result as JSON (implies --force --all)
skillshare update --all --json                 # Update results as JSON
skillshare uninstall my-skill --json           # Uninstall result as JSON (implies --force)
skillshare collect claude --json               # Collect result as JSON (implies --force)
skillshare target list --json                  # Target list as JSON
skillshare list --json                         # Skill list as JSON
skillshare search react --json                 # Search results as JSON
skillshare audit --format json                 # Audit results as JSON
skillshare doctor --json                       # Health check as JSON (exit 1 on errors)
```
### Recovery & Troubleshooting
```bash
skillshare trash restore <name> && skillshare sync  # Undo delete
skillshare sync                                     # Skill missing? Re-sync
skillshare doctor && skillshare status              # Diagnose issues
skillshare install user/repo --force                 # Override audit block
skillshare install user/repo --skip-audit            # Bypass scan entirely
```

## Quick Lookup
| Commands | Project? | `--json`? |
|----------|:--------:|:---------:|
| `status`, `diff`, `list`, `doctor` | ✓ (auto) | ✓ |
| `sync`, `collect` | ✓ (auto) | ✓ |
| `install`, `uninstall`, `update`, `check`, `search`, `new` | ✓ (`-p`) | ✓ (except new) |
| `target`, `audit`, `analyze`, `trash`, `log`, `hub` | ✓ (`-p`) | ✓ (target list, audit, analyze, log) |
| `extras init/list/remove/collect/source/mode` | ✓ (`-p`, except source) | ✓ (list, mode) |
| `enable`, `disable` | ✓ (auto) | ✗ |
| `push`, `pull`, `backup`, `restore` | ✗ | ✗ |
| `tui`, `upgrade` | ✗ | ✗ |
| `ui` | ✓ (`-p`) | ✗ |

## AI Caller Rules
1. **Non-interactive** — AI cannot answer prompts. Use `--force`, `--all`, `-s`, `--targets`, `--no-copy`, `--all-targets`, `--yes`.
2. **Sync after mutations** — `install`, `uninstall`, `update`, `collect`, `target` all need `sync`.
3. **Audit** — `install` auto-scans; CRITICAL blocks. `--force` to override, `--skip-audit` to bypass. Detects hardcoded secrets (API keys, tokens, private keys).
4. **Uninstall safely** — moves to trash (7 days). `trash restore <name>` to undo. **NEVER** `rm -rf` symlinks.
5. **Output** — `--json` for structured data (12 commands support it, see Quick Lookup). `--no-tui` for plain text on TUI commands (`list`, `log`, `audit`, `analyze`, `diff`, `trash list`, `backup list`, `target list`). `tui off` disables TUI globally. `--dry-run` to preview.
