# Skills Anywhere

Collects agent skills from local project directories and remote Git repositories into a unified catalog over stdio MCP. Useful when sharing instructions between multiple coding tools.

## What it does

The server discovers `SKILL.md` definitions across workspace paths and assistant storage locations. It monitors directories used by Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and shared `.agents/skills` trees. You can also attach external Git repositories with locked commit revisions, alongside Anthropic plugin marketplaces.

Discovered instructions reach the agent over stdio MCP. The CLI and server operate independently. A bundled command-line checker inspects Markdown file references before loading them.

Execution requires Node.js 22.19+ or 24+. Working with remote repositories will fail without Git installed in your environment.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add dsh-skills-anywhere -- npx -y dsh-skills-anywhere
```

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add skills-anywhere -- npx -y dsh-skills-anywhere
```

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "skills-anywhere": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "dsh-skills-anywhere"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "skills-anywhere": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "dsh-skills-anywhere"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add skills-anywhere npx -y dsh-skills-anywhere
```

## When to use it
- gather agent instructions from separate editor folders into one registry
- link remote skill bundles straight from Git commits
- validate local Markdown file references before loading bundles
- block pull requests in CI when skill manifests have broken paths

## Example prompts
- List the agent skills discovered by Skills Anywhere across my tool directories
- Check `path/to/SKILL.md` for missing relative resources before importing it
- Load the required skill bundle from the configured repository checkout
