Skilldex

Skilldex

**npm, but for Claude skills.**

Skilldex is a package manager and registry for Claude `.skill` packages. It handles installation at the right scope, format validation with compiler-style feedback, quality scoring, and AI-powered skill suggestions — all while integrating natively with Claude Code, Codex, and any MCP-capable coding agent.

skillpm install forensics-agent --scope project
skillpm validate ./my-skill
skillpm list

**Note:** Skilldex is strictly a distribution and tooling layer. It does not define the skill format — that is Anthropic's responsibility. Skilldex follows and validates against Anthropic's published skill specification.
