Lazy Skills
Blazing-fast mission control for agent skills.
"I don't debug broken skills by hand - I have a TUI to be disappointed for me."
🌴 Overview
LazySkills is a blazing-fast terminal UI for managing agent skills. It gives you one place to see what is installed, which agents can use each skill, why visibility may be broken, and what actions are safe to run next.
✨ Features
- See every skill in one place - project, global, universal, and agent-specific skills in a single TUI.
- Check agent visibility - switch agents and see which skills are actually usable by Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and many more.
- Spot broken installs fast - highlights missing
SKILL.md, invalid frontmatter, broken symlinks, missing lock entries, and ghost agent skills. - Preview before you act - inspect metadata, rendered skill content, and the exact command LazySkills is about to run.
- Safe skill actions - open, reinstall/update, remove, prune orphaned locks, or run bulk updates/removals with confirmation prompts.
- Discover more from a source - scan local checkouts or GitHub skill sources to find skills you have not installed yet.
