Skill Manager 0.4.1 Public Preview

This is the first public downloadable Skill Manager preview. It provides the
desktop application and terminal interface for Apple Silicon Macs running
macOS 13 or newer.

Downloads

  • skill-manager-desktop-0.4.1-macos-arm64.zip — Skill Manager.app with the
    Dashboard, Skills, and Sources interfaces.
  • skill-manager-cli-0.4.1-macos-arm64.tar.gz — the skill-manager CLI/TUI,
    README, MIT license, and third-party notices.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 digests for both archives.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt with the artifacts and verify both archives from the
same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

Desktop Installation

  1. Expand skill-manager-desktop-0.4.1-macos-arm64.zip.
  2. Move Skill Manager.app to /Applications.
  3. Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm Open.

The application is ad-hoc signed but not Developer ID signed or notarized. If
macOS does not offer Open, try a normal launch once, then use System
Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway after verifying the checksum and
that this release came from the expected repository.

CLI Installation

tar -xzf skill-manager-cli-0.4.1-macos-arm64.tar.gz
install -m 0755 \
  skill-manager-cli-0.4.1-macos-arm64/skill-manager \
  "$HOME/.local/bin/skill-manager"
skill-manager --version

The expected version output is skill-manager 0.4.1.

Included Functionality

  • Inspect and reversibly toggle Claude Code and Codex user skills.
  • Group skills by source and stage deterministic bulk changes.
  • Install, update, and uninstall managed Git or linked local sources.
  • Use the macOS Dashboard, Skills, and Sources workflows.
  • Inspect filesystem-estimated context pressure and explicitly request local
    provider diagnostics.
  • Protect local state with owner-only permissions and bounded backup retention.

Preview Limitations

  • This is a public preview, not a stable release.
  • Only Apple Silicon macOS 13 or newer is supported by these binaries.
  • There is no Developer ID signature, notarization, universal binary, DMG,
    auto-update, or telemetry.
  • Experimental skills.sh Discover code is not exposed in this build.
  • Already running Claude Code or Codex sessions may need to be restarted after
    skill visibility changes.
  • Third-party skills contain instructions that Skill Manager does not audit or
    sandbox. Review their source before installing them.
