What it does

Skills live in ~/.cursor, ~/.claude, plugins, and project folders. Referencing them in a prompt means remembering a slash command or digging through Finder.

Clove scans every SKILL.md on your Mac and puts them in one searchable library.

• Search names, descriptions, and tags across Cursor, Claude, Codex, Agents, plugins, and projects
• Copy prompt-ready references like /animations or @nextjs, not file paths
• Pin a floating panel beside your editor (⌘⇧K)
• Group skills and copy a whole stack at once
• Drag a skill straight into a prompt

Privacy

Skills never leave your Mac. Clove reads SKILL.md frontmatter and never writes to those files. Groups are saved in one JSON file inside Application Support.

Optional update checks are the only network call. No analytics. No telemetry. No account.
