🌟 GitHub: github.com/tiandee/awesome-skills-hub
🎯 What is ASH?
ASH is a cross-platform package manager for AI Skills (Prompts/Rules/Instructions). Think of it as npm or Homebrew for your AI capabilities — install once, manage centrally, sync everywhere.
🔥 The Problem & Solution
😫 Sound Familiar?
| Pain Point | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Fragmented Experience | Crafted a perfect prompt in Cursor? Now copy-paste it to Windsurf manually |
| Maintenance Nightmare | Your "Java Expert" and "Git Standards" prompts scattered across project folders |
| No Standardization | Every IDE has its own skills directory — impossible to unify |
| Team Collaboration | Sharing great prompts with teammates is harder than it should be |
✅ How ASH Solves This

Install once, auto-sync to all AI IDEs. Update a skill file, and all tools reflect the change instantly.
✨ Key Features
⚡️ One-Command Multi-IDE Sync
ash add pdf
One command auto-detects your installed IDEs (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Antigravity, Copilot, TRAE) and injects the skill into all of them.
🌉 Smart Bridging Engine
Maintain a single Markdown skill file — ASH automatically creates symlinks to keep all your tools in perfect sync.
