Post Description

I built skillstui, a terminal UI for search and installing skills from skills.sh into your AI coding agents.

skillstui solves this: - Search the skills.sh catalog from the terminal - Select the skills you want - Choose the agents you want - Press Ctrl+G — it runs `npx skills add` for each skill across whichever agents you use - or Ctrl+Y to copy the install command to your clipboard

It supports 30+ agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline, OpenHands, Goose, and more.

try it out: npx skillstui

Built with Bun + ink (imperative terminal renderer, no React).
