Motivation

Agent skills are powerful, and the skills CLI works well — but not everyone lives in the terminal. SkillPad gives you a visual way to browse, install, and manage skills without touching the command line.

Features

  • Browse skills from skills.sh gallery
  • Search skills with debounced filtering
  • View skill details with markdown rendering
  • Install skills to selected agents (global or project scope)
  • Remove installed skills
  • Manage multiple projects with drag-to-reorder
  • Configure default agents in preferences
  • Command palette for quick navigation
  • Keyboard shortcuts for navigation
  • Automatic dark/light theme (follows system preference)
  • Auto-update with in-app notifications
  • Window state persistence
