Praxl is now open source - star on GitHub →
Open SourceThe open-source AI skill manager

Your skills are in 5 different places.

If you have SKILL.md files spread across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and 6 more — Praxl is the one app to manage them all. With a UI you'll actually want to use, and a self-host that installs itself when you paste a prompt into your AI agent.

Built for developers and the AI-native builders who don't call themselves developers.

Built for the AI-native era

Skip the setup guide.
Tell your AI to install it.

Self-hosting Praxl is one prompt. Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI coding agent — your agent reads the deployment guide, asks for input where it needs it, and stands up the full stack on your machine. No Docker tutorial. No 50-page docs.

Paste this into your AI agent
I want to deploy Praxl - an open-source AI skill manager - on my machine.

Repository: https://github.com/AdamBartkiewicz/praxl-oss

Follow this deployment guide exactly: https://github.com/AdamBartkiewicz/praxl-oss/blob/main/SETUP-WITH-AI.md

Ask me questions if you need my input. Do not skip steps. Confirm each major step before proceeding.
01

Copy the prompt

One paragraph above. No instructions to memorize, no prerequisites to install upfront.

02

Paste into your AI agent

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot — anywhere you already work with AI. Your agent reads the full guide.

03

Watch it deploy

Agent checks your environment, asks for input, runs Docker, generates secrets, opens the app. ~5 minutes.

Or skip self-host entirely and use the managed cloud — signup in 30 seconds, no install at all.

The problem

This is what your skills look like right now.

14 of 24 skill-tool combinations are out of sync, outdated, or missing entirely. Developers call this skill fragmentation - and it gets worse with every tool you add.

Features

Built for developers who use more than one AI tool

An editor that actually understands skills

Not a generic text editor - Praxl knows what makes a skill work. It scores yours on clarity, specificity, structure, completeness, and actionability. Click "Fix" and the AI rewrites the weak parts. Attach reference files - coding standards, templates, scripts - so your AI agent has full context, not just instructions.

Edit here. Deployed to every tool.

Change a skill in Praxl and it lands in ~/.claude/commands/, ~/.cursor/rules/, and 6 more directories - automatically. Edit locally instead? The change syncs back. You choose where you work, Praxl handles the rest.

Every change tracked. Every version safe.

Skills evolve - a tweak to the prompt, a new edge case handled, a trigger phrase added. Without history, one bad edit and your best skill is gone. Praxl saves every version automatically. Compare diffs side by side, see exactly what changed and when, and roll back to any point with one click.

No more "which version is the right one?" No more copying files to skill-v2-final-FINAL.md. Just a clean timeline of every change, across every tool.

Security Scanning

Every skill is scanned for prompt injection, credential leaks, and destructive commands - before it reaches your tools.

Marketplace

Browse community-contributed skills. Found a good one? One click and it's in your library, synced to every platform.

Team Libraries

Share skills with your team. Roles control who edits, who views. New dev? They inherit the team's skills on day one.

AI Generation

Describe what you need. The AI writes a structured, reviewed skill - with metadata, triggers, and examples baked in.

Usage Analytics

See which skills your AI tools actually use. Passive tracking - no performance impact. Know which skills earn their keep and which collect dust.

How it works

From scattered to synced in 2 minutes

Terminal
# Scan what you have
$ praxl scan
Found 38 skills across 3 tools. 14 duplicates. 6 outdated.
 
# Connect and sync everything
$ praxl connect
✓ Authenticated

# That's it. Edit in Praxl or locally - stays in sync.

Auto-import

Praxl finds every skill you already have - across all tools - imports them, and removes duplicates.

AI Review

Each skill gets a quality score. See what's weak, click Fix, and the AI improves it for you.

Always in sync

Edit in the app or on disk - changes flow both ways. Your tools always have the latest version.

Not just for developers

Skills aren't just code instructions

Anyone who uses AI tools builds up a library of reusable prompts, templates, and workflows. A marketing team has brand voice skills. A sales team has objection-handling scripts. A PM has PRD templates. The problem is the same: they're scattered across tools, undocumented, and impossible to share.

Praxl works for any structured instruction that you want to version, review, and deploy - whether it's a coding skill or a business playbook.

What is Praxl?

Praxl is an AI skill manager for developers. It discovers, organizes, versions, and synchronizes SKILL.md instruction files across 9 AI coding tools: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Claude.ai.

AI coding tools use SKILL.md files - structured Markdown instructions - to define reusable behaviors. A skill might teach an AI how to review code, write tests, or follow your team's conventions. Without a manager, these files get duplicated across tools, go out of sync, and become hard to maintain.

Praxl provides a single source of truth: one place to create, edit, review, and deploy skills to every platform simultaneously. The Praxl CLI (npm install -g praxl-app) scans your machine for existing skills, imports them, deduplicates, and keeps everything in bidirectional sync.

Multi-platform sync
Deploy skills to 9 AI tools simultaneously. Edit once - changes propagate everywhere.
AI quality review
Built-in AI scores skills on 5 dimensions (clarity, specificity, structure, completeness, actionability) and suggests improvements.
Version history
Every edit is versioned with side-by-side diffs. Roll back to any point with one click.
Reference files
Attach scripts, templates, coding standards - anything your AI agent needs as context.
Team organizations
Share skills with colleagues. Control access with role-based permissions. (Pro)
Community marketplace
Browse and install community-contributed skills. One click install.
Usage tracking
See which skills your AI tools actually read. Passive monitoring via CLI - know what's working and what's collecting dust.
