English | 繁體中文 | 简体中文 | 日本語

Browse, create, edit, delete, and import agent skills across any project — supporting multiple AI assistant formats.

Quick Install

Or search "Skill Dock" in the VS Code Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X).

Install from command line:

code --install-extension skill-dock.skill-dock

Features

Skill Library

Skills are stored locally on your machine (~/.skilldock/skills/ by default).
Full CRUD operations: create, view, edit, delete, duplicate, and search.

Sidebar Browser

• Skill Library panel — browse all locally stored skills
• Repo Skills panel — view skills already in the current project, grouped by format
• Skill Marketplace panel — browse marketplace sources; click to open filtered marketplace

Agent Skill Marketplace

Browse and install agent skills from GitHub repositories:

• Built-in sources: Anthropic Skills, OpenAI Skills, GitHub Awesome Copilot Skills, Hugging Face Skills, Vercel Agent Skills, OpenClaw Agent Skills
• Fast loading: Sources are loaded via the GitHub trees API — only the SKILL.md files you need are downloaded, with bundled files fetched lazily on install (no full repo clones, no local git required)
• skills.sh ecosystem search: Search the entire skills.sh registry (the same backend used by npx skills) directly from the marketplace. Discover thousands of community skills and install them to your library with one click.
• Custom sources: Add any GitHub repo URL as a skill source
• In-panel preview: Click a skill to see its full rendered content
• Source filters: Multi-select chips with Select All / Deselect All toggle
• One-click install: Install skills directly to your local library

Manager Dashboard

A full-featured webview panel for managing your skill library with search, import, and delete capabilities.

Import to Any Repo

Import skills from your library into the current workspace. Choose the target format:

Multi-select import supported. Save repo skills back to your library.

Install Statistics & Sort by Most Used

Every time you install a skill from the marketplace, an install count is recorded locally (.stats.json in your library folder). Hover over a skill in the library tree to see how many times it has been installed. Sort your library by Most Used to surface your most-referenced skills.

Secure GitHub Token

GitHub personal access tokens are stored in VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage (never in plaintext settings). Use Skill Dock: Set GitHub Token to store your token — it raises the GitHub API rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour.

Skill Editor

Visual form-based editor for creating and editing skills — metadata fields (name, description, author, version, license, tags) and Markdown body.

Multi-Language Support

Follows your VS Code display language automatically.

Commands

All commands are available via Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) under the Skill Dock category.

Configuration

GitHub Token: Use the Set GitHub Token command to store your token securely in VS Code's encrypted credential store. It is no longer stored as a plaintext setting.

Skill Format

Skills use the SKILL.md convention with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does and when to use it.
author: your-name
version: "1.0"
license: MIT
tags:
  - coding
  - review
