Is my code sent anywhere?
Is my code sent anywhere?
No. The only thing that ever leaves your machine is the skill folder you explicitly approve
for publishing — and you see its full file manifest first. Files that look like secrets are
excluded from the package and reported to you. Searching, installing, and updating send
metadata (skill names and versions), not your code.
Which agents are supported?
Which agents are supported?
Skill installs cover 70+ coding agents — the full skills.sh agent set, auto-detected per
machine. Driving MasterSkills conversationally works in any agent that loads skills and can
run shell commands; Claude Code is the reference experience. See
Supported agents.

masterskills CLI is MIT-licensed at

Can we self-host?
Self-hosting the registry is part of the Enterprise plan. The CLI targets a self-hosted
server with
masterskills login --api-url <host> or the MASTERSKILLS_API_URL environment
variable. Talk to us for Enterprise.What are the Free plan limits?
What are the Free plan limits?
Three users, one device per user — and deliberately no limits on skills, versions, or
installs on any plan. Free is the trial: run the full product with a small group, upgrade
when you roll it out to the team. Current pricing:

A skill I installed isn't active — why?
A skill I installed isn't active — why?
Skills load when an agent session starts. Restart the agent (or open a new session) after
installing. If it’s still missing,
masterskills agents shows whether the agent was detected
and where its skills directory is, and masterskills link repairs links.What does "required" actually do?
What does "required" actually do?
A required skill shows up in every member’s update check until installed — and that is all.
It is never installed silently; the user always confirms. Silent writes would break the
product’s first trust rule.
How is this different from skills.sh or a git repo?
How is this different from skills.sh or a git repo?
skills.sh installs public skills; MasterSkills distributes and manages private ones —
permissions, versions, devices, and an audit trail. A git repo is a skill source, and
repo-local skills stay untouched; the registry adds the permission, versioning, and
distribution layer a repo doesn’t have.
Why is there no upload form in the panel?
Why is there no upload form in the panel?
Deliberate. Publishing goes through one pipeline — manifest shown, secrets scanned, approval
required — whether a human or an agent triggers it. A web upload form would be a second path
around those guarantees.
