One Skill Library. Every Claude Code Project.
Manage Claude Code skills from a central library, activate them per-project with one click, and keep repositories clean. The missing package manager for Claude.
Stop Copying Skills Between Repositories
The old way is broken. Skill Bridge stores skills once and activates them anywhere.
Duplicate Folders
Manually copying .claude/skills into every project clutters your workspace and wastes disk space with identical copies.
Version Drift
Update a skill in Project A and Project B is left behind. Keeping them in sync manually becomes an ever-growing maintenance burden.
Git Clutter
Committing utility scripts to production repos mixes concerns, pollutes commit history, and forces every teammate to carry them.
Hard to Share
No central registry makes it difficult to discover and share useful skills across your team or between machines.
From Scattered to Centralized
Three steps to a clean, shared, always-in-sync skill setup.
Create a skill in the library
Click + in the Library panel, pick a template (prompt redirect, Bash command, or blank), and write your SKILL.md. The skill is stored once in a central location on your machine.

unused imports, and naming consistency.Activate per-project with one click
Open the Projects panel, find your project, and tick the checkbox next to a skill. Skill Bridge drops a symlink into .claude/skills/ and adds it to .git/info/exclude automatically.

Restart your Claude Code session. Claude reads all skills in .claude/skills/ and the new skill is immediately available. Edit the library file — every project reflects the change instantly.

Running code-review skill...Everything You Need
Skill Bridge handles the full lifecycle — from creation to sharing — so you focus on writing skills, not managing them.
Central Library
All skills live in one location, browsable in the sidebar. Create, edit, and delete from a single source of truth — no more hunting across projects.
Git-safe by Default
Activated skills are symlinked and added to .git/info/exclude automatically. Your .gitignore stays clean and teammates never see untracked noise.
Global Activation
Bundled skills are automatically symlinked to ~/.claude/skills/ and available in every Claude Code session — no per-project setup required.
Import / Export
Back up your entire library as a ZIP or share it with teammates. Import a colleague's ZIP and their skills are instantly in your library.
Skill Templates
Create skills from a template picker: prompt redirect, Bash command wrapper, or blank. The right structure, ready in seconds.
Portable Backup
Skills are mirrored to ~/.claude/skill-library on every create, duplicate, or import — keeping a portable copy independent of VS Code storage.
Up and Running in Minutes
No configuration files. No CLI commands. Just install, create, and activate.
Install the extension
Search for Skill Bridge in the VS Code Extensions panel, or click Install below.
