How to Set Up and Use Skill Manager
SkillDock is a desktop application and skill manager that simplifies installing, updating, and synchronizing AI skills and MCP server configurations across more than 30 AI coding tools including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and IntelliJ IDEA. It uses Git-aware change detection to distinguish upstream skill updates from local modifications and can write enabled MCP server configurations directly into each tool's config file. Developers who work with multiple AI coding assistants and want a single control panel for managing prompts, MCP servers, and tool plugins will find SkillDock significantly reduces manual configuration overhead.
Prerequisites
- macOS (Windows support planned — check GitHub releases for current availability)
- At least one supported AI coding tool installed: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, or similar
- Git installed (for Git-aware skill update tracking)
- An internet connection for downloading skills and MCP server packages from SkillDock's registry
Download and install SkillDock
Visit the SkillDock GitHub Releases page and download the latest macOS installer (.dmg or .zip). Open the installer, drag SkillDock to your Applications folder, and launch it.
Connect your AI coding tools
On first launch, SkillDock scans for supported AI tools installed on your system. Review the detected tools list and confirm which ones you want SkillDock to manage.
Browse and install skills
Open the Skills tab in SkillDock to browse available AI skills from the registry. Click Install on any skill to download it and make it available to your connected tools.
Browse and install MCP servers
Open the MCP Servers tab to discover and install MCP server packages. SkillDock writes the enabled servers into each tool's MCP configuration file automatically.
Enable Git-aware update tracking
For skills installed from Git repositories, SkillDock tracks upstream changes separately from your local edits. Use the Updates tab to review new upstream changes and choose whether to apply them without overwriting local modifications.
Skill Manager Examples
Client configuration
SkillDock manages MCP config files on your behalf. The resulting configuration written to Claude Code's settings for an MCP server managed by SkillDock looks like this.
{
"mcpServers": {
"example-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "example-mcp-server"],
"env": {}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Tasks you can accomplish using SkillDock's desktop UI — these are UI actions rather than AI prompts, since SkillDock is a management desktop app.
- Open SkillDock > Skills tab > Install the 'code-review' skill for Claude Code
- Open MCP Servers tab > Search for 'filesystem' > Enable for Cursor and Windsurf
- Open Updates tab > Review upstream changes to installed skills
- Disable a skill for one tool while keeping it enabled for others
- Export your full skill + MCP configuration as a shareable profileTroubleshooting Skill Manager
SkillDock does not detect my installed AI coding tools
Ensure the tools are installed in standard locations (e.g., Claude Code via npm, Cursor via official installer). Open SkillDock Preferences and use the manual tool detection option to point to non-standard installation paths.
MCP configuration is not written to my tool after enabling a server in SkillDock
Restart the affected AI coding tool after enabling the MCP server in SkillDock. Some tools (like Cursor) only reload their MCP config at startup. If the config is still missing, check SkillDock's log view for write permission errors on the config file path.
Skill update shows as 'upstream changed' but the update breaks local modifications
Use SkillDock's diff view to review what changed upstream versus your local edits before applying an update. You can choose to skip an upstream update or cherry-pick only specific changes while preserving your local customizations.
