The control panel for your AI coding rules
Every AI tool wants its own rules file — CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md, Copilot. Write your rules once in Skillwright, deploy the right file to every tool and project, and stop losing hours to copy-paste.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf & Copilot.
See the whole thing — library, history, one-click deploy — in two minutes.
Why this gets messy fast
You write one good skill. Then it quietly multiplies — and so does the doubt about which copy is the real one.
Say you're using Cursor on a side project, and it keeps formatting dates the wrong way. So you write a SKILL.md: “Always use ISO dates. Don't use moment.js — use date-fns.” It works. The annoyance stops.
Next week you start a second project and want the same rules, so you copy the file over — then add a few project-specific lines. Meanwhile you improve the original. Then a third project. Then you try Claude Code, which wants the rules written its own way. Then a teammate edits their copy to switch off a check and forgets to mention it.
Now answer one question: which copy is the correct one? You can't — not without opening all of them side by side. That's the moment this stops being free.
01 · you'll hit this
Every project ends up with a slightly different version of the same rules. Fix a rule in one place and the others still have the old one.
02 · you'll hit this
You changed a skill last month and your AI got worse at something. Which edit did it? A folder full of text files can't tell you.
03 · you'll hit this
Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot each read rules from a different file in a different shape. Same rules — four files to keep in step by hand.
There's a calmer way to keep all of this straight. See how Skillwright handles it
One edit, everywhere
Edit one skill in Skillwright and it updates across all your AI tools and all your projects at once — no file left behind, no drift. Doing that by hand is 12 files, every time.

Inside Skillwright
Skillwright is a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Pick a skill, see its full history, and send the right version anywhere — in the format each tool expects.
Every skill in one place — not scattered across a dozen project folders.
Each edit is saved. See what changed, and roll back in one click.
One skill becomes the exact file each tool expects — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or Copilot — in any project.
Try it yourself · nothing to install
This is a small in-browser version of the converter built into the app — same inputs, same outputs.

The honest comparison
Both work. Only one of them still makes sense after your tenth project.
Founding members are talking
“Eight repos with stale rules, a Claude SKILL.md months out of date — Skillwright pulled them into one library in an afternoon. First time I actually trust which copy is current.”
“The out-of-sync alerts caught a teammate's local edit that was quietly overriding our review rule — the kind of thing we'd normally find out about weeks too late.”
“The usage panel showed me half my skills were sitting dead in the library. Pruned six, renamed three, and my AI's suggestions tightened up right away.”

How you'll use it
01
Import the rule files you already have, or write new ones right inside Skillwright.
02
Name them, version them, and see all of them in a single window.
03
Push any skill into any project, in the format that project's AI tool reads.
Setup takes about three minutes — buy, download, paste your license key. It works offline after that, on macOS, Windows & Linux.

Things people ask
Lifetime updates instead of one year. The Founding Member badge inside the app. A direct line to the founder for feedback on the roadmap. And the price is locked at $24.99 — once the first 100 seats are gone, the regular Indie plan becomes $49 minimum.
Because we can only meaningfully respond to feedback from a small group. After the first 100 customers we still ship features for everyone, but the founding cohort gets to shape what we build first. It's also a price commitment — we won't drop below $24.99 lifetime ever, so there's no incentive to wait.
When you buy, Lemon Squeezy emails you a license key. The first time you launch Skillwright, paste the key and the app activates your copy. After that it checks in now and then to confirm the license is still active. If you go offline, Skillwright keeps working from the last check, with a grace period.
Open Skillwright on the old machine and click Deactivate (or, if it's dead, email support). Then activate on the new one. Same key, just moved. No drama.
Not currently — Skillwright is a paid desktop app. We may open-source individual pieces over time, but the app itself is commercial.
On your machine, in a local database file the app manages. The only time Skillwright goes online is to check your license — your skill content is never uploaded.
