💡 Why ASK

You find a great skill on Claude, but you also use Cursor. You set up rules in Cursor, but your teammate uses Copilot. You want to audit third-party skills, but there's no standard tool.

ASK solves this. One install, every agent stays in sync — with version locking, security scanning, and offline support built in.

$ ask install browser-use
✓ Installed browser-use
  Synced to: Claude   (.claude/skills/)
             Cursor   (.cursor/skills/)
             Codex    (.codex/skills/)

✨ Key Features

🖥️ Web UI & Desktop App

ASK provides a beautiful web interface for skill discovery and management — available as a web server (ask serve) or a native desktop app.

Quick Start

# Web Server
ask serve

# Desktop App (requires Wails CLI)
wails build && ./build/bin/ask-desktop

1. Install

Homebrew (macOS/Linux):

brew tap yeasy/tap
brew install yeasy/tap/ask              # CLI version
brew install --cask yeasy/tap/ask-desktop  # Desktop App (macOS only)

[!NOTE] macOS Users: When opening ask-desktop for the first time, if you see an "unidentified developer" warning, please go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, and click "Open Anyway" in the Security section.
