Skillwright

The control panel for your AI coding rules

Write once. Deploy everywhere.

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.

skillwright · live demo11-sec loop

One edit, deployed to all four tools — this is the whole loop.

Why this gets messy fast

It starts with one file. It never stays one file.

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.

  1. 01 · you'll hit this

    Copy-paste drift

    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.

  2. 02 · you'll hit this

    No memory

    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.

  3. 03 · you'll hit this

    Every tool wants its own file

    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

Change a rule once. It syncs to every tool and every project.

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.

Founding members are talking

The fix you didn't know was missing from your workflow.

“Eight repos with stale rules, a Claude SKILL.md months out of date — Skillwright pulled them into one library in an afternoon.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.”
ARAnita R.Staff engineer · fintech
“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.”
JMJordan M.Tech lead · dev tools startup
“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.”

Things people ask

Frequently asked, briefly answered.

What does the Founding Member plan get me that Indie doesn't?

+

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.

Why only 100 founding seats?

+

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.

How does the license actually work?

+

When you buy, you'll get an email with your 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.

What if I get a new laptop?

+

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.

Is the source code open?

+

Not currently — Skillwright is a paid desktop app. We may open-source individual pieces over time, but the app itself is commercial.

Where do my skills live?

+

On your machine, in a local database file the app manages. We don't store the contents of your skills on our servers — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what we do and don't collect.
