A few useful answers
Good to know.
Is this a web app or a desktop app?
Skill Shelf is a desktop app. This website introduces the product and includes a preview with sample data. Your installed skills are managed in the desktop app.
Will organizing skills change my files?
Folders and categories are stored in Skill Shelf’s own app data. They do not rewrite SKILL.md. Installing, updating, removing, and deploying skills are separate file operations you choose to run.
Does AI translation send content to a service?
When you request a translation, the description is sent to the AI provider you configured. The translation is saved locally. Scanning and organizing your skills do not require AI.
How does Skill Shelf work with skills.sh?
Find Skills on skills.sh, then install and manage them in Skill Shelf. Organize your library, read files, and reuse collections across projects.
Make room for your next good skill.
A clearer view of what you have. A simpler way to use it again.
