Problem Statement

I have to copy skills over from ~/.claude/skills/ to /mnt/skills/ if I want my CLI skills to be in the CC GUI - this is annoying and slow

Have a shared skills directory for CC in the CLI or GUI to pull from

TL;DR

Consider implementing a shared skills directory or a configuration option to specify the skills directory location.

Guidance

  • Investigate the current implementation of skills loading in the CC GUI and CLI to understand how they access skills directories.
  • Explore the possibility of adding a configuration option or environment variable to specify the skills directory location, allowing users to point to a shared directory.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of creating a symbolic link from the default skills directory to the desired shared location as a temporary workaround.
  • Review the existing codebase for any hardcoded directory paths that might need to be updated to support a shared skills directory.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue lacks specific technical details about the implementation.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the CC GUI and CLI codebases, and careful consideration of potential security implications when allowing users to specify arbitrary directory locations.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a shared skills directory or configuration option would likely require significant changes, so a temporary workaround such as a symbolic link may be a more feasible short-term solution.
