What it does

Skillshare is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Manages and syncs AI CLI skills across 50+ tools from a single source. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "skillshare", runs skillshare commands, manages skills (install, update, uninstall, sync, audit, check, diff, search), or troubleshoots skill configuration (orphaned symlinks, broken targets, sync issues). Covers both global (~/.config/skillshare/) and project (.skillshare/) modes. Also use when: adding new AI tool targets (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), setting target include/exclude filters or copy…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`, `references/audit.md` and `references/backup.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions skillshare
  • Runs skillshare commands
  • Manages skills (install
  • Troubleshoots skill configuration (orphaned symlinks

Example prompts

  • “skillshare”
  • “Use the skillshare skill to manage and syncs AI CLI skills across 50+ tools from a single source”
  • “/skillshare”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Non-interactive — AI cannot answer prompts. Use --force, --all, -s, --targets, --no-copy, --all-targets, --yes.
  2. Sync after mutations — install, uninstall, update, collect, target all need sync.
  3. Audit — install auto-scans; CRITICAL blocks. --force to override, --skip-audit to bypass. Detects hardcoded secrets (API keys, tokens…
  4. Uninstall safely — moves to trash (7 days). trash restore to undo. NEVER rm -rf symlinks.
  5. Output — --json for structured data (12 commands support it, see Quick Lookup). --no-tui for plain text on TUI commands (list, log, audit…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skillshare loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 180 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~180
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 241 words (~2,443 tokens).

“Global: ~/.config/skillshare/skills/ → all AI CLIs. Project: .skillshare/skills/ → repo-local. Auto-detects project mode when .skillshare/config.yaml exists. Force with -p or -g.”
