# SkillCreator

> A native desktop IDE for building, managing, and evaluating AI agent skills.

SkillCreator is a macOS desktop app for creating **agent skills**, structured Markdown instruction files that teach AI coding agents how to perform specific tasks.

Skills work across Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and more.

## Why SkillCreator?

Most AI coding agents accept plain-text instructions, but there is no standard way to create, version, test, or share those instructions. SkillCreator gives you a dedicated workspace:

* **Studio.** Generate skills from prompts, URLs, docs, or images using AI.
* **Editor.** Full IDE with Monaco, file tree, frontmatter editing, and validation.
* **Library.** SQLite-backed local index of all your skills with search, tags, and versioning.
* **Evals.** Score skills on 6 quality dimensions and track regressions over time.
* **Graph.** Visualize skill dependencies on an interactive canvas.
* **Terminal.** Embedded PTY for running agents directly inside the app.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Capture">
    Paste a URL, drop files, or describe what you want the agent to do. The Studio ingests your sources and extracts structure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    AI synthesizes a structured SKILL.md with metadata, instructions, constraints, and verification steps.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Evaluate">
    Run quality evals that score structure, content, evidence, usage, toolchain, and freshness.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install">
    Export to any agent runtime (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Amp, and more) with a transactional install that previews diffs and supports rollback.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Architecture

SkillCreator stores all data locally in a SQLite database. Skill generation requires an API connection; the app itself stores all data locally and does not send skill content to any server. An optional MCP server exposes your skill library to AI agents for live introspection.
