# asm (AI) asm — **Agent Skill Manager** — is a universal CLI + TUI for managing [[AI Agent Skills|AI agent skills]] across 19+ AI coding platforms from one place. The `(AI)` disambiguator in this note's title separates it from assembly language; asm here is a package-manager-style tool for agent skills, built by luongnv89. > One tool to manage every AI agent's skills. ## The problem Skills are scattered: each harness ([[Claude Code]], [[Codex CLI|Codex]], [[Cursor CLI|Cursor]], [[Windsurf]], [[Cline]], and a dozen more) keeps its own skill directory, with no central visibility, manual installs, and security risk from running untrusted skill code. asm consolidates that sprawl into one dashboard. ## What it does - **Single dashboard** to list, search, and filter skills across every configured provider - **Install from GitHub** in one command: `asm install github:user/repo` - **Security scanning** that flags dangerous patterns before installation - **Duplicate detection** across providers - **Skill creation toolkit** ; scaffolding (`asm init`), symlinked dev (`asm link`), auditing, and registry publishing - **2,800+ community skills** indexed and discoverable - Works with 19 providers including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, and GitHub Copilot ## Stack & install [[TypeScript]] + React, with Ink for the TUI, esbuild for bundling, Node.js ≥ 18. MIT-licensed. ```bash npm install -g agent-skill-manager ``` ## Where it fits The [[AI Agent Skills|agent-skills]] ecosystem is portable by spec (one skill runs across many harnesses), but *installation and hygiene* are still per-tool. asm is the missing package manager / registry layer ; the same `npx skills add` install path that ships skills like Matt Van Horn's last30days, but with cross-provider management, security auditing, and a creation workflow on top. ## References - GitHub: https://github.com/luongnv89/asm - Site: https://luongnv.com/asm - Documentation: https://luongnv.com/asm/#/docs ## Related - [[AI Agent Skills]] - [[Claude Code]] - [[Codex CLI]] - [[Cursor CLI]] - [[Windsurf]] - [[Cline]] - [[AI Agents]] - [[TypeScript]]
