Features

Skill Library

Skills are stored locally on your machine (~/.skilldock/skills/ by default).
Full CRUD operations: create, view, edit, delete, duplicate, and search.

Sidebar Browser

• Skill Library panel — browse all locally stored skills
• Repo Skills panel — view skills already in the current project, grouped by format
• Skill Marketplace panel — browse marketplace sources; click to open filtered marketplace

Agent Skill Marketplace

Browse and install agent skills from GitHub repositories:

• Built-in sources: Anthropic Skills, OpenAI Skills, GitHub Awesome Copilot Skills, Hugging Face Skills, Vercel Agent Skills
• skills.sh ecosystem search: Search the entire skills.sh registry (the same backend used by npx skills) directly from the marketplace. Discover thousands of community skills and install them to your library with one click.
• Custom sources: Add any GitHub repo URL as a skill source
• In-panel preview: Click a skill to see its full rendered content
• Source filters: Multi-select chips with Select All / Deselect All toggle
• One-click install: Install skills directly to your local library

Manager Dashboard

A full-featured webview panel for managing your skill library with search, import, and delete capabilities.

Import to Any Repo

Multi-select import supported. Save repo skills back to your library.

Install Statistics & Sort by Most Used

Every time you install a skill from the marketplace, an install count is recorded locally (.stats.json in your library folder). Hover over a skill in the library tree to see how many times it has been installed. Sort your library by Most Used to surface your most-referenced skills.

Secure GitHub Token

GitHub personal access tokens are stored in VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage (never in plaintext settings). Use Skill Dock: Set GitHub Token to store your token — it raises the GitHub API rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour.

Skill Editor

Visual form-based editor for creating and editing skills — metadata fields (name, description, author, version, license, tags) and Markdown body.

Multi-Language Support

Language	Code
English	en (default)
繁體中文	zh-tw
简体中文	zh-cn
日本語	ja

Follows your VS Code display language automatically.
