LazySkills

Mission control for agent skills

A terminal UI for managing agent skills. One place to see what is installed, which agents can use each skill, why visibility may be broken, and what actions are safe to run next.

$curl -fsSL https://lazyskills.sh/install | sh

Supported on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Once done, launch the TUI by typing lazyskills.

One TUI, 70 Agents

LazySkills knows where every agent looks for skills, per project and globally, and shows you exactly which agents can see each installed skill.

Choosing a self-hosted agent stack? Read the self-hosted AI agent guide before managing its skills.

And this is what mission control looks like: every skill those agents can see, in one terminal screen.

Features

Every skill in one place

Project, global, universal, and agent-specific skills in a single TUI, grouped by the source they came from.

Agent visibility checks

Switch agents and see which skills are actually usable by Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and many more.

Spot broken installs fast

Highlights missing SKILL.md files, invalid frontmatter, broken symlinks, missing lock entries, and ghost agent skills.

Preview before you act

Inspect metadata, rendered skill content, and the exact command LazySkills is about to run.

Safe skill actions

Open, reinstall, update, remove, prune orphaned locks, or run bulk actions with confirmation prompts.

Discover more from a source

Scan local checkouts or GitHub skill sources to find skills you have not installed yet.

Find and install new skills

Search skills.sh from inside LazySkills, preview the install command, then install to project or global scope.

Agent-friendly CLI mode

Registry search without opening the TUI: lazyskills find --json returns results any agent can parse.

Search the skills.sh registry, results as JSON.

$lazyskills scan --json

Full snapshot of installed skills, sources, and agent visibility.
