Built for teams turning AI agents into real infrastructure

One registry. Every team. Every coding agent.

The distribution problem

Your agent skills should not live in random folders

As teams create more agent skills, distribution becomes the real problem. MasterSkills gives every skill an owner, version, access policy, and reliable installation path.

Before

  • Nobody knows which version is current
  • Internal knowledge is copied manually
  • Every developer configures agents differently
  • Sensitive skills are shared without clear access rules

After

  • One canonical skill package
  • Controlled team access
  • Versioned and auditable changes
  • Consistent agent behaviour across the organisation

Agent-operated

Nobody on your team learns a single command

MasterSkills ships as a skill your agent reads once. After that you ask in plain language — it packages the files, picks the version, applies your access rules, and publishes. Installing on the next machine works the same way.

  • 01

    You say what you want

    “Publish the skills we just wrote.” That is the entire interface.

  • 02

    The agent already knows the rest

    skill.md carries every command, flag, and guard rail — so the agent never guesses.

  • 03

    Humans keep the controls

    Access, approvals, and version pinning stay with people, in the registry.

Capabilities

A registry, not another assistant

Everything you already expect from a package registry — applied to the skills your agents run on.

Private by default

Your internal workflows, architecture rules, and company knowledge remain inside your organisation.

Proper versioning

Publish releases, review changes, pin versions, and roll back when needed.

Team-level permissions

Give each team access only to the skills relevant to their work.

Git integration

Import and synchronise skills from GitHub, GitLab, or any Git repository.

70+ agents supported

Distribute the same organisational knowledge everywhere your team codes — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Windsurf, and the rest of the ecosystem.

Simple developer experience

Search, install, update, and remove skills using a lightweight CLI.

Discoverable internal knowledge

Developers can browse approved skills instead of asking where the latest prompt or workflow lives.

Usage visibility

Understand which skills are installed, maintained, outdated, or no longer used.

Everything your agents need, organised in one place

How this skill behaves

Runs before gh pr create. Reads the diff, applies rules/*.md, and returns findings grouped by severity with file:line anchors.

Distribution layer

Build the skill once. Use it everywhere.

Your company knowledge should not be locked to a single AI tool. MasterSkills gives teams a consistent distribution layer while allowing each developer to use the agent they prefer.

…and 70 more agents

MasterSkills is the management and distribution layer. Each agent consumes the package through its own format adapter — 70+ coding agents are supported today. Not every agent supports every capability, and the registry makes those differences explicit.

Who it is for

Four teams, one distribution model

Platform teams

Distribute infrastructure standards, deployment workflows, and security policies.

  • terraform-baseline
  • release-workflow

Product engineering teams

Share architecture conventions, feature workflows, and code-generation standards.

  • design-system-rules
  • saas-starter

Agencies

Maintain separate skill collections and access policies for each client.

  • client-a/*
  • client-b/*

AI-native companies

Turn repeatable internal workflows into governed, reusable agent capabilities.

  • incident-runbook
  • pr-summary

Control

Your company knowledge stays under your control

Skills encode how your company builds software. MasterSkills treats them with the same care as your private packages: scoped, versioned, and traceable.

Enterprise security and deployment options can be tailored to your organisation.

  • Private workspaces

    Nothing leaves your organisation boundary by default.

  • Role-based access control

    Owner, maintainer, and consumer roles per registry.

  • Team and project permissions

    Scope any skill to the teams and projects that need it.

  • Version history

    Every release retained, comparable, and restorable.

  • Audit-friendly change records

    Who changed what, when, and which version they shipped.

  • Secure Git integrations

    Scoped tokens, read-only sync, revocable at any time.

  • Self-hosted deployment

    EnterpriseRuns inside your own network — docker compose plus a license key.

FAQ

Questions engineering leads ask first

A packaged, reusable instruction set your coding agent loads to perform a specific task the way your organisation wants it done — a review checklist, a release procedure, an architecture description. It is content plus metadata: files, a version, an owner, and the agents it is compatible with.

70+ coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Zed, and the rest of the ecosystem. The full agent registry ships with the CLI: one install links a skill into every agent detected on the machine, and tools that adopt the shared .agents/skills convention are covered automatically. Because packaging and distribution are separate from the agent format, a new agent is an adapter rather than a rewrite of your skills.

No. MasterSkills ships as a skill your agent reads once — hand it Read https://masterskills.dev/masterskills/docs/skill.md and follow the instructions to use MasterSkills and it learns every command, flag, and guard rail. After that you ask in plain language: “publish the skills we just wrote”, “install the approved review skill here”. The CLI stays available for people who want it; it is not a prerequisite for anyone.

Yes. Point MasterSkills at a GitHub, GitLab, or generic Git repository and it imports the skill and keeps it synchronised. Read-only, scoped tokens; revocable at any time.

Private by default. A skill is visible only inside your organisation, and only to the workspaces, teams, projects, or users you grant access to. There is no public listing unless you deliberately publish one.

That is the core of the access model. Grant a skill to a whole organisation, a workspace, a team, a project, or named individuals, with read or write roles — so the data team never sees the client-specific skills an agency workspace holds.

Yes. Every release is retained. Teams can pin to an exact version, follow a range, or roll back to a previous release with one command — and the registry records who changed what.

No. Git remains ideal for source control. MasterSkills adds discovery, packaging, permissions, version distribution, installation, and organisation-wide governance for agent skills.

Yes — on the Enterprise plan: the registry ships as a docker compose deployment with a license key and runs inside your own network. The license check never hard-fails — a 30-day offline grace keeps your registry working even if the license endpoint is unreachable. Enterprise is arranged directly — talk to us.
