I Manage 35+ AI Tool Skills from One Dashboard — No More Messy dot-directories

If you use more than three AI coding tools, you've probably felt this pain. Skills, plugins, and extensions scattered across ~/.claude, ~/.cursor, ~/.openclaw, ~/.vscode, ~/.cline... and that's just the beginning. Finding what you have, moving it between tools, and sharing it with your team becomes a manual, error-prone process.

I built OpenSkill Manager to solve this — a unified desktop dashboard + CLI for managing skills, plugins, and extensions across 35+ AI platforms in one place.

The Pain Was Real

Here's what my setup looked like before:

~/.claude/skills/        → 3 skills
~/.cursor/skills/        → 8 skills + 12 extensions
~/.openclaw/skills/       → 15 skills
~/.vscode/extensions/     → 20+ extensions
~/.cline/skills/          → 6 skills
~/.copilot/               → some config somewhere
~/.ollama/models/         → wait, where exactly?
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The problems compounded fast:

  • No visibility — Which platform has which skill installed?
  • Manual migration — Want to move a skill from OpenClaw to Cline? Enjoy copying paths and editing configs by hand.
  • No batch sharing — Need to package your best skills for your team? You're zipping directories one by one.
  • Tool fatigue — Each platform has its own UI, its own directory structure, its own update mechanism.

Sound familiar?

What OpenSkill Manager Does

OpenSkill Manager gives you a single pane of glass across all your AI tool ecosystems.

GUI Dashboard (Electron + React)

The desktop app automatically scans your home directory for any installed AI tools and presents their skills/plugins/extensions in a unified, filterable view.

Key capabilities:

  • 🔍 Auto-discovery — Scans ~/ for known AI platforms and skill directories automatically
  • 📋 Unified view — All skills/plugins/extensions in one list, filterable by platform, type, or category
  • 📦 Batch operations — Multi-select with Cmd/Ctrl+Click, then migrate, export, or delete in bulk
  • 🔄 Cross-platform migration — Move skills between OpenClaw ↔ Cline ↔ Cursor ↔ VS Code with one click
  • 📥 Import/Export — Package skills as .zip to share with your team, or import from a directory
  • 🌐 24 languages — Full i18n including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic (RTL supported)
  • 📂 Real-time sync — File changes detected via chokidar, UI stays in sync automatically

CLI Tool (for automation & scripting)

The CLI brings the same capabilities to the terminal:

# Discover all installed AI platforms and their skills
openskill scan

# List all skills across platforms
openskill list --all

# Migrate a skill from one platform to another
openskill migrate --from openclaw --to cline --skill my-custom-skill

# Export skills to a shareable zip
openskill export --platform openclaw --output ./my-skills.zip

# Import from zip to any platform
openskill import --file ./my-skills.zip --to qclaw
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Supported Platforms (35+ and growing)

The scanner recognizes these and more:

Platform Type
OpenClaw AI Agent Framework
QClaw AI Agent Platform
Claude AI Assistant
Cursor AI Code Editor
GitHub Copilot AI Pair Programmer
VS Code Code Editor
Cline AI Coding Agent
CodeBuddy AI Code Assistant
Trae AI IDE
Qwen AI Assistant
Ollama LLM Runtime
Gemini AI Assistant
ChatGPT AI Assistant
...

Any unrecognized dot-directory with skills/, plugins/, or extensions/ subdirectories is also discovered automatically.

Getting Started

Desktop App 

git clone https://github.com/BoboloveIC/openskill-manager.git
cd openskill-manager
npm install
npm run dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or download the latest release for macOS, Windows, or Linux.

CLI Tool 

npm install -g openskill-manager
openskill --help
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Roadmap

We're actively building towards:

  • [ ] Skill enable/disable toggle (GUI)
  • [ ] Plugin marketplace integration
  • [ ] Drag-and-drop migration (GUI)
  • [ ] Auto-update support
  • [ ] Shell completions for CLI (bash, zsh, fish)
  • [ ] Agent adapter pattern for extensible platform support

Why This Matters

The AI tool landscape is fragmenting fast. Every week there's a new AI code editor, a new agent framework, a new way to extend your workflow.

The skills and plugins you've invested in should be portable, shareable, and discoverable — not locked inside individual tool silos.

OpenSkill Manager is my attempt to solve that. It's fully open source and community contributions are welcome.
