Omni Skills v1.4.0 is out — native binaries, Homebrew, Winget, and a skill compiler

[moatazhamada]

🎉 Omni Skills v1.4.0 is live

This is a major release. Omni Skills is now available as a standalone native binary on macOS, Linux, and Windows — no Node.js installation required.

What's new

🖥 Native binaries

Every release now ships standalone executables:

• omni-skills-mac-arm64
• omni-skills-mac-x64
• omni-skills-linux-x64
• omni-skills-windows-x64.exe

Download them from the v1.4.0 release.

🍺 Homebrew

macOS and Linux users can install with:

brew tap moatazhamada/tap
brew install omni-skills

🪟 Winget

A Winget manifest has been submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs. Once merged, Windows users can run:

winget install omni-skills

🔧 Skill compiler pipeline

SKILL.md files are now compiled on the fly into each tool's native format:

• Claude / Cursor / Kimi / OpenCode / KiloCode → markdown + YAML frontmatter
• Codex → markdown + TOML metadata
• Gemini → markdown + JSON metadata

🛡 Execution boundaries

Restrict file writing, network access, shell execution, and require user confirmation per tool via YAML frontmatter.

Other improvements

• Zero-config fallback for legacy skills without frontmatter.
• Optional NVIDIA SkillSpector vulnerability scanning gate during sync.
• CLI fully decoupled from Node runtime assumptions.
• npm package now uses a lightweight files whitelist.
• README refactored; detailed guides moved to docs/.

Install today

• npm: npm install -g ai-omni-skills
• Homebrew: brew tap moatazhamada/tap && brew install omni-skills
• Winget: winget install omni-skills (after PR merge)
• Binaries: v1.4.0 release assets

If you find Omni Skills useful, please consider starring the repo — it helps us reach the criteria for inclusion in homebrew/core so the brew tap step can eventually disappear.

Feedback and questions welcome!
