## 🎯 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

```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                    ~/.ash/skills/                          │
│        (Your skill arsenal — one source, linked everywhere)│
└─────────────┬──────────────┬───────────────┬───────────────┘
              │              │               │
              ▼              ▼               ▼
        ┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐     ┌─────────┐
        │ Cursor  │    │Windsurf │     │  Claude │  ...
        └─────────┘    └─────────┘     └─────────┘
```

**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
```bash
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**.

### 📦 Familiar Package Manager Experience
```bash
ash list          # View available skills
ash search web    # Search for skills
ash add java      # Install a skill
ash status        # Check deployment status
```

### 🛡️ Dual-Mode Support

| Mode | Use Case | Command |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Global Mode** | Personal toolkit (translation, code review) | `ash add pdf` |
| **Project Mode** | Team standards (API specs, code style) | `ash add java -p` |

In project mode, skills travel with your repo — teammates get them instantly after `git clone`!
