## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Claude Code Skills Manager (`ccsm`) is a CLI tool for discovering, installing, and managing Claude Code skills from Git-based marketplace repositories. It lets you register any public Git repository that exposes a `skills.json` manifest as a skill source, then search, install, update, and remove skills through a single command-line interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are deployed directly into Claude Code's own skills directory (`~/.claude/skills/`), where Claude Code picks them up automatically at startup.
|
||||
|
||||

## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Registering a marketplace
|
||||
|
||||
A marketplace is any public Git repository with a `skills.json` manifest at its root. Register one with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ccsm marketplace add https://github.com/example/skills
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
CCSM fetches the manifest and caches it locally. You can register as many marketplaces as you need.
|
||||
|
||||
### Browsing and installing skills
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Search across all registered marketplaces
|
||||
ccsm search
|
||||
|
||||
# Search with a keyword filter
|
||||
ccsm search git
|
||||
|
||||
# Install a skill by name
|
||||
ccsm install my-awesome-skill
|
||||
|
||||
# If the same name exists in multiple marketplaces, disambiguate
|
||||
ccsm install my-skill --marketplace my-marketplace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Managing installed skills
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List installed skills
|
||||
ccsm list
|
||||
|
||||
# Show details about an installed skill
|
||||
ccsm info my-awesome-skill
|
||||
|
||||
# Update all installed skills to their latest versions
|
||||
ccsm update
|
||||
|
||||
# Update a specific skill
|
||||
ccsm update my-awesome-skill
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove a skill
|
||||
ccsm remove my-awesome-skill
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Marketplace management
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List all registered marketplaces
|
||||
ccsm marketplace list
|
||||
|
||||
# Refresh cached manifests (all marketplaces)
|
||||
ccsm marketplace update
|
||||
|
||||
# Refresh a specific marketplace
|
||||
ccsm marketplace update my-marketplace
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove a marketplace
|
||||
ccsm marketplace remove my-marketplace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Install modes
|
||||
|
||||
CCSM supports two deploy modes:
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Behaviour | Use case |
|
||||
|------|-----------|----------|
|
||||
| `copy` (default) | Files are physically copied to `~/.claude/skills/<name>/` | Normal use — safe and self-contained |
|
||||
| `link` | A symlink is created pointing to the local store | Skill development — changes to source files are picked up immediately |
|
||||
|
||||
Set the default mode in your config, or override per install:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ccsm install my-skill --link
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating Your Own Skill Marketplace
|
||||
|
||||
A marketplace is simply a public Git repository containing a `skills.json` manifest. There is no server component, no authentication, and no API key — CCSM reads the manifest directly from the Git forge's raw file endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
### Marketplace repository structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
your-marketplace-repo/
|
||||
skills.json # Required: the manifest
|
||||
README.md # Optional
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### The `skills.json` manifest
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "My Marketplace",
|
||||
"version": "1.0.0",
|
||||
"skills": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-skill",
|
||||
"description": "A short description shown in search results",
|
||||
"repository": "https://github.com/user/skill-repo",
|
||||
"branch": "main"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "another-skill",
|
||||
"description": "A skill that lives in a monorepo subdirectory",
|
||||
"repository": "https://github.com/user/monorepo",
|
||||
"branch": "main",
|
||||
"path": "skills/another-skill"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Top-level fields:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Required | Description |
|
||||
|-------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `name` | Yes | Marketplace display name |
|
||||
| `version` | No | Arbitrary version string for your own tracking |
|
||||
| `skills` | No | Array of skill entries (defaults to `[]`) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Skill entry fields:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Required | Description |
|
||||
|-------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `name` | Yes | Unique skill identifier (used with `ccsm install <name>`) |
|
||||
| `description` | Yes | One-line summary shown in `ccsm search` output |
|
||||
| `repository` | Yes | Public Git repository URL for the skill |
|
||||
| `branch` | No | Git branch to install from (tries `main` first, falls back to `master`) |
|
||||
| `path` | No | Subdirectory within the repository where the skill files live — enables monorepos hosting multiple skills |
|
||||
|
||||
### How it works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Manifest fetching** — CCSM constructs a raw-file URL from the marketplace repository URL and fetches `skills.json` from either the `main` or `master` branch. This works with GitHub, Gitea, GitLab, and any Git forge that exposes raw file endpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Skill downloading** — When a user installs a skill, CCSM downloads the skill repository archive (ZIP or tar.gz) from the Git forge, extracts it, and deploys the files to `~/.claude/skills/<name>/`.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Monorepo support** — If a skill entry specifies a `path`, CCSM navigates into that subdirectory after extraction before deploying, so a single repository can host multiple skills.
|
||||
|
||||
### What goes in a skill repository
|
||||
|
||||
Each skill repository is a standard Claude Code skill directory. At minimum it should contain a `SKILL.md` manifest file:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
my-skill-repo/
|
||||
SKILL.md # Claude Code skill manifest
|
||||
script.py # Supporting files
|
||||
templates/
|
||||
template.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Publishing steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a **public** Git repository with a `skills.json` at the root, following the format above.
|
||||
2. Push it.
|
||||
3. Anyone can register it with `ccsm marketplace add <url>`.
|
||||
|
||||
## How CCSM Stores Data
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `~/.claude/skills/` | Claude Code's skills directory — where skills are deployed |
|
||||
| `~/.config/ccsm/config.json` | CCSM configuration (registered marketplaces, default mode) |
|
||||
| `~/.config/ccsm/marketplaces/` | Cached marketplace manifests |
|
||||
| `~/.config/ccsm/skills/` | Downloaded skill files (local store) |
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, `~/.config/` resolves to `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\`.
