skill_listLABSCO SUMMARY
Skills that load when they are relevant, not at every startup.
The lazy-loading split is the point: the index stays small and only the matching skill's full text enters context. Because it is client-agnostic rather than tied to node_modules, the same skill set follows you between editors.
What it is
An MCP server and package manager for AI skills — structured instructions, not code — with its own registry and format, published as @skillbase/spm.
What you get
- A compact index of installed skills, browsable without pulling their full text into context
- A skill's full instructions loaded only when it is actually needed
- Search across skills by keyword, tag or file pattern
- New skills installed from the registry during a session
- Skill quality rated back, which feeds the registry's confidence scores
- Personas — bundles of skills with a defined role — installed as a unit
- Compatibility with Vercel Skills:
spm add owner/repo/skill-nameconverts them automatically
Requirements
npm, for npm install -g @skillbase/spm. Setup runs through the CLI — spm init in the project, then spm connect for your client, with Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and JetBrains all supported.
Setup effort
One command — npm install -g @skillbase/spm
USE CASES
Reusing a review checklist across projects
Install the skill once and let the assistant load it whenever a review comes up, rather than re-pasting the checklist.
Finding out what your assistant already knows how to do
Browse the compact index of installed skills without paying the context cost of their full text.
Pulling in expertise mid-task
Search the registry by keyword, tag or file pattern and install what matches while the task is still open.
Setting up a role in one step
Install a persona — a bundle of skills with a defined role — instead of adding its skills one at a time.
Keeping the registry's quality signal honest
Rate a skill after using it, which feeds the confidence scores other people see.
