Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Rohit, the maker of SkillKit.

The problem I kept running into: My skills for Claude Code were useless in Cursor. My team was on Copilot. Each agent has its own format. Worse: every time I close a session, my AI forgets everything it learned.

So I built SkillKit - a universal platform for AI coding agents that goes way beyond skill management.

npx skillkit@latest

What makes it different from "skill installers":

🔄 Cross-Agent Translation (32 agents)

skillkit translate my-skill --from claude --to cursor,codex,copilot

One command. Write once, use in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 26 more.

🧠 Session Memory That Persists

Your AI agents learn patterns, but that knowledge dies every session. SkillKit captures learnings with semantic embeddings and makes them persistent:

skillkit memory compress    # Extract patterns from sessions
skillkit memory search "auth patterns"  # Recall past learnings
skillkit memory export      # Turn learnings into shareable skills

🤖 Multi-Agent Team Orchestration

Spawn teams of AI agents with leader/teammate hierarchies, task assignment, plan approval workflows, and code review stages:

skillkit team init
skillkit message send       # Inter-agent messaging
skillkit workflow run       # Orchestrate multi-step tasks

🌐 Mesh Network for Distributed Teams

Your agents can communicate across machines with E2E encrypted P2P:

- Ed25519 cryptography & XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption

- UDP multicast LAN discovery

- Trust management with fingerprint verification

Comment highlights

The concept of a package manager for AI skills is brilliant. As a dev, I’m curious—how does it handle dependency versioning for different LLM models? Great work on making it Open Source!

I maintain about 15 Claude Code skills for my daily workflow and the portability problem is real. Right now if I want the same behavior in Cursor I'm manually rewriting CLAUDE.md into .cursorrules. The translate command would save me a lot of time.

Curious about the memory feature -- how does it handle conflicting patterns across projects? Like if I have one repo that uses snake_case and another that uses camelCase, does it scope learnings per-project or is it global?

Really cool to see this direction. The portability issue between Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc. is something I’ve run into as well — each agent having its own “skill dialect” makes it hard to build consistent workflows.


I’m working on a different layer of the stack (Iceberg Framework), where the focus is on deterministic execution and validation for LLM‑powered systems. What you’re doing with Skillkit around persistent skills and cross‑agent translation actually complements that nicely — one solves the portability problem, the other solves the reliability/consistency problem.

Love seeing more tooling appear in this space. The ecosystem really needs it.

Package manager for AI skills is brilliant! I'm working with Claude Code and the problem of 'teaching' it project-specific patterns is real. Does Skillkit let me create custom skills like 'how we structure Phoenix LiveView components' and have the agent remember across sessions? The cross-platform support (Claude, Cursor, etc.) is the killer feature - skills shouldn't be tool-locked. How does versioning work? Congrats on open sourcing this!
