How it works
Skills are directories placed under ~/.claude/skills/ that Claude Code reads at startup. CCSM manages these directories by pulling skill definitions from marketplace repositories that expose a skills.json manifest:
{
"name": "My Marketplace",
"skills": [
{
"name": "example-skill",
"description": "An example Claude Code skill",
"repository": "https://github.com/user/skill-repo",
"branch": "main"
}
]
}
Deploy modes
- Copy (default): Skill files are physically copied to
~/.claude/skills/<name>/. - Link: A symlink is created from
~/.claude/skills/<name>/to the local store, useful for development.
Building
cargo build --release
Cross-compilation targets: Linux (amd64), macOS (amd64), and Windows (amd64) via cargo-zigbuild.
