What happens on first launch

When SkillCreator starts for the first time, it:
  1. Creates a local SQLite database at ~/Library/Application Support/SkillCreator/skillcreator/
  2. Starts a local RPC server for CLI and MCP access
  3. Auto-registers the MCP server with detected agent runtimes (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop)
  4. Installs the skillcreator CLI to ~/.local/bin/ (with sc alias)
The app works fully offline. No account or internet connection is required for core functionality.

​
CLI installation

The CLI is bundled with the desktop app and installed automatically. Verify it works:
If the command is not found, add ~/.local/bin to your PATH:

​
Auto-updates

SkillCreator checks for updates automatically on launch. When an update is available, a banner appears at the top of the app. Updates are downloaded in the background and applied on next restart.

​

  2. Delete from Applications
  3. Optionally remove data: rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/SkillCreator
  4. Optionally remove CLI: rm ~/.local/bin/skillcreator ~/.local/bin/sc
