First, thank you for building Skills-Manager. A desktop app focused on skills across multiple AI coding assistants is a very useful idea, especially now that many of us use Claude Code and Codex side by side.
I would like to suggest two workflow improvements for users who maintain the same personal skill set across Claude Code and Codex.
Requested behavior:
- Add a one-click sync action that can copy or symlink user-installed skills between Claude and Codex skill folders.
- Show a clear
needs sync state when a skill exists in one assistant but not the other.
- Prefer user-installed/personal skills at the top of the list.
- Move bundled/system/default skills lower in the list, or group them separately, so the skills the user actively installed are easier to review first.
- Ideally keep sync non-destructive: do not overwrite a target skill unless the user confirms, and show source/target paths before applying.
Why this helps:
People often install a skill while working in one agent, then later expect the other agent to have the same capability. The current mental model is closer to “my personal skill library should be available to both agents,” while the filesystem reality is split across separate Claude/Codex locations. A one-click sync plus personal-first ordering would make the app feel much more like a daily skill control center.
Possible UI shape:
- Filters:
Personal, Built-in, Needs sync, Claude only, Codex only, Shared.
- Primary action:
Sync personal skills.
- Per-skill actions:
Sync to Claude, Sync to Codex, Open folder, Remove link.
Happy to help test this from a Claude+Codex daily-use setup if it fits your roadmap.
