SkillDB

5,900+ expert skills across 429 packs for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.

Connect SkillDB directly to your AI coding tool via the Model Context Protocol:

# Step 1 (optional): install globally. You can also skip this — the npx form below works without it. npm install -g skilldb # Step 2: Get your free API key at https://skilldb.dev/api-access # Step 3: Add to Claude Code (with API key for full content) claude mcp add skilldb -- npx -p skilldb skilldb-mcp --api-key sk_live_YOUR_KEY

Note:skilldb-mcpis a binary inside theskilldbpackage, not its own npm package — always invoke it asnpx -p skilldb skilldb-mcp(notnpx skilldb-mcp).

Activate a focused profile — only loads relevant skills into.skilldb/active/.

skilldb use frontend # React, testing, web-polish, accessibility skilldb use backend # API design, databases, security, performance skilldb use devops # Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, monitoring skilldb use security # Trust audit, input validation, credentials skilldb use data # SQL, pipelines, analytics, visualization skilldb use fullstack # Frontend + backend combined skilldb use mobile # Mobile / React Native / app development skilldb use ai-agent # Autonomous agent meta-skills skilldb use auto # Auto-detect from your project files skilldb use --list # Show available profiles skilldb use --current # Show active profile skilldb use none # Deactivate (clear active/)

automode scans yourpackage.json, file extensions, and imports to recommend the right profile.

Set a maximum context budget so your agent doesn't get overloaded.

skilldb budget # Show current usage skilldb budget set 5000 # Max 5,000 lines skilldb budget set 50k # Max 50,000 tokens skilldb budget optimize # Re-rank and trim active skills to fit

Generate compressed cheat-sheet versions of skills (~30 lines instead of 300).

skilldb slim # Slim all active skills skilldb slim software-skills # Slim a specific pack skilldb slim --ratio 0.3 # Keep 30% of content

Check for newer versions of installed skills and update them.

skilldb update # Update everything skilldb update software-skills # Update one pack

skilldb remove software-skills/code-review # Remove single skill skilldb remove software-skills # Remove entire pack skilldb remove --unused # Remove skills not in active profile

Health check and audit of your skill setup.

Shows: outdated skills, unused skills, missing dependencies, budget status, coverage gaps.

Shows: installed count, total lines, tokens, active profile, categories covered.

Compare your local (possibly customized) version with the latest remote.

skilldb diff software-skills/code-review skilldb diff # Diff all installed

Remove cached skills to free disk space.

skilldb purge --inactive # Remove skills not in the active profile skilldb purge --all # Remove ALL cached skills (including active) skilldb purge --slim # Also drop slim summaries skilldb purge --dry-run # Preview what would be removed, delete nothing

Create (or update) a private skill from a local Markdown file. The skill name defaults to the filename; the title resolves as--titleflag → first Markdown# H1→ filename.

skilldb push ./my-react-patterns.md # create (pack defaults to "personal") skilldb push ./my-react-patterns.md -p team --tags react,perf skilldb push ./my-react-patterns.md --update # update the skill with the same name/pack

Options:-p, --pack,-n, --name,-t, --title,-d, --description,--tags <comma,list>,-u, --update.

List your private skills (ones you own plus skills shared with you).

You can also do all of this from your agent via the MCP toolsskilldb_create_skill/skilldb_update_skill/skilldb_my_skills.

Export your setup for sharing or IDE integration.

skilldb export claude # CLAUDE.md snippet with skill references skilldb export cursor # .cursorrules block skilldb export profile # Shareable .skilldb-profile.json skilldb export inject <id> # Print skill to stdout (for piping)

Scan your project and get personalized skill recommendations.

skilldb recommend # Analyze project and suggest skilldb recommend --install # Auto-install recommendations

import { createClient } from 'skilldb'; const db = createClient(); // auto-loads key from env/config // Search with slim previews const results = await db.search('code review'); for (const skill of results.skills) { console.log(skill.title); console.log(skill.slim); // Quick summary } // Get full skill content const skill = await db.get('software-skills/code-review.md'); console.log(skill.content); // List with filters const listing = await db.list({ category: 'Autonomous Agents', limit: 10 });

The SDK and CLI resolve your API key in order:
- SKILLDB_API_KEYenvironment variable (CI-friendly)
- .skilldbrcin project root (project-specific)
- ~/.skilldbrcin home directory (user-wide)

Built-in profiles map to curated skill sets:

This is a web browser that enables your coding agent, such as Claude Code, to visit websites on your behalf and assist you in identifying bugs or creating UI test cases.
