Local-first skill client

Every agent skill,
one search.

spectrl searches skills.sh, SkillsMP, AgentSkills.Guide, and your local registry at once — then installs any skill straight into your project. No account, no lock-in.

The spectrum

Four sources, one feed.

Every query fans out across all enabled sources in parallel. Results stream in as each one answers — tagged by colour so you always know where a skill came from. Toggle any source with spectrl sources.

  • skills-sh

    skills.sh

    The largest public index. Install counts, ranked by popularity.

    installable
  • skills-mp

    installable
  • agent-skills-guide

    AgentSkills.Guide

From query to installed

Three keystrokes, really.

  1. 01

    Search

    spectrl search react

    One query fans out to every enabled registry in parallel. Results stream into a live list as each source answers.

  2. 02

    Inspect

    ↑↓ browse · tab detail

    Read the real SKILL.md — pulled from its GitHub source — alongside install counts and stars, before you commit to anything.

  3. 03

    Install

    enter

    Drop the skill straight into your project. spectrl tracks it in .spectrl/collection.json so the team stays in sync.


Why it feels different

Built like a tool, not a store.

Local-first

No account, no login, nothing to sign up for. Your config lives in ~/.spectrl and installed skills live in your repo. Search your local registry fully offline.

Real descriptions, from the source

Every result is enriched from its actual GitHub SKILL.md — so you read the real skill, not a stale blurb, before installing. Falls back gracefully when a source is quiet.

Parallel by default

Sources are queried concurrently with a per-source timeout, and results render the moment they arrive. One slow registry never holds up the rest.

Installs where you work

Pick a result and spectrl drops the skill into your project via the skills toolchain — even for sources that have no installer of their own.


Start in one command.

No setup, no account. Run it in any project and start searching.
