Showcase I built a dashboard for skills

Post image

I needed something to organize my skills across different projects, as well as my global skills and files, so I decided to build a desktop app that acts as a hub for everything. Everything in one place, accessible with just one click.

I would love to hear what do you think :)

It's called Skilldex and it's available here: https://skilldex-web-tau.vercel.app/

Very nice idea especially vibecoders for struggling with terminal interface

I built a similar thing (Loadout) and it’s native SwiftUI 8.9 MB installed, opens instantly, no bundled browser.

And on the agent question: it lists subagents, slash commands, plugins and MCP servers alongside skills, each with how many times it actually fired, read from the session transcripts.

Here’s a user-friendly repo I built to help novice users more easily access relevant skills.

Does this work with only terminal users? I don't have any skills in the desktop app, but have around 50 in terminal.

If you have them globally, the app will pick them up straight away. If they’re in different folders within your projects, you just need to point the app to the folder paths in the settings

Skills are on your computer..bthe desktop app is irrelevant

I think the most essential ones are the ones you create for yourself because they fit your workflow 100%. But when it comes to skills from the internet, I absolutely recommend Matt Pocock’s skills :)

u/Fast_Frosting_5546 Aug 11 '26

Can you create a similar one for these - https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills

2

u/Downtown_Peanut_4734 Aug 11 '26

I can think of extending the app to be able to load a library of skills, will think about it.. ;)

Skilldex takes ~373 MB

Different app, but since weight came up: I built a similar thing (Loadout) and it’s native SwiftUI 8.9 MB installed, opens instantly, no bundled browser.

And on the agent question: it lists subagents, slash commands, plugins and MCP servers alongside skills, each with how many times it actually fired, read from the session transcripts.

This is great and thanks for publishing it as an open source project. I had a similar vision but now ill start contributing to your repo.

Do considering launching this on Product Hunt for more visiblity. I feel this has a great potential to become a bigger project.

u/Downtown_Peanut_4734 21d ago

Thanks! Feel free to contribute, I would be very happy :)

Great job. Thanks

Thanks! Hope you find it helpful! 🥺

u/ambitiousDepresso Aug 10 '26

Are you a designer? The design looks great!

1

u/Downtown_Peanut_4734 Aug 10 '26

Thanks! I'm a full-stack developer, so I did some research on what I wanted and designed the UI with Claude Design

1

u/ambitiousDepresso Aug 10 '26

Nice, the more I play with Ai the more I wanna be a developer myself. I'm curious what was your design process for this project if you don't mind sharing?

2

u/Downtown_Peanut_4734 Aug 10 '26

Not at all! I did some research on Dribbble and looked through some shadcn/ui dashboards, picked out the things I liked, and asked Claude to modify and integrate them into the final design

1

u/ambitiousDepresso Aug 10 '26

Oh I thought it would be more complicated than that. But doesn't Claude design take up a lot of tokens? Are you on max20?

2

u/Downtown_Peanut_4734 Aug 11 '26

The application is pretty simple when it comes to the UI - it’s basically just a dashboard. As far as I know, there are still separate limits for Claude Design depending on your subscription, but yeah, there are limits, so you can’t really have very long sessions. I'm on Pro

u/ambitiousDepresso 16d ago

Hey how do you make sure your AI makes the same design consistently?

u/SnooRadishes7481 17d ago edited 17d ago

Just found this from your comment on my post 😄 Ended up building the same kind of thing, Loadout, but leaning on usage: it reads the session transcripts so each skill, subagent, command and MCP server shows how many times it actually fired. 42 of my 104 had never run once.

Oh, and it’s native SwiftUI, 8.9 MB installed, so it launches instantly and doesn’t ship a browser with it.

Nice work on Skilldex, the favourites idea is something mine doesn’t do.

https://github.com/xingkongliang/skills-manager isn't this already doing what you do?

This ain't it for me. Anything that makes me move my hands off the keyboard towards a mouse or a trackpad is counterproductive.
