EnhancedSkills

Why I built this

I write a lot of skills for Claude Code and Codex. After a while I had dozens scattered across ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.codex/skills/ with no easy way to see what lived where, which ones had validation issues, or whether a skill I wrote for one provider would even work in another. I was opening individual SKILL.md files in my editor, reading through them one by one, and manually copying folders between providers. It got old fast.

I wanted a Claude Code skills manager, a single window that showed me everything: every skill, every provider, what is synced, what is broken, and how to fix it. Nothing like this existed, so I built it. It is free and open source.

How EnhancedSkills manages and validates AI skills

Validating skills against provider guidelines with auto-fix

Skills are validated against each provider's specific guidelines. Issues are grouped by severity (error, warning, suggestion) and most of them fix in one click. You can also batch-fix all issues for an entire provider at once.

AI skill evaluation and description scoring

Each skill gets scored on structure, description quality, and content. The app tells you exactly what to improve and can rewrite descriptions automatically. You see the scores inline, right next to each skill.

Importing skills directly from GitHub repositories

Paste a GitHub repo URL and the app fetches all available skills from it. You get a preview before importing anything. No need to git clone and manually move files around.

Multi-provider skill discovery across local folders

The app scans all configured skill directories (Claude, Codex, Gemini, and others) and merges everything into a single unified view. Each skill shows which providers have it, which don't, and what the sync status is.

Transferring skills between Claude Code and Codex

Copy a skill from Claude to Codex (or any direction) with a full preview of what will be written. If the skill already exists at the destination, you're prompted before overwriting.

Automatic updates from GitHub Releases

The app checks GitHub for new releases on launch. Updates download and install in-place, no App Store involved.

Quick start

1. Download the DMG from GitHub Releases
2. Drag EnhancedSkills.app to your Applications folder
3. Launch the app. It auto-detects Claude and Codex skill directories

The app is signed and notarized with Apple, so it opens without Gatekeeper warnings. Requires macOS 14+.

Local security and privacy

EnhancedSkills reads skill files from your local filesystem. The only network requests go to the OpenAI API for AI evaluation (using your own key) and to GitHub for imports and update checks. No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts.
