hub

Manage skill hubs — saved hub sources for organization-wide skill discovery.

When to Use

• Set up your organization's skill catalog for search to query
• Switch between multiple hubs (e.g., company-wide vs team-specific)
• List or remove saved hub sources

hub add

Save a hub source to config for reuse in search --hub.

skillshare hub add <url> [options]

Flag	Description
--label, -l	Custom label (default: derived from URL hostname)
--project, -p	Save to project config
--global, -g	Save to global config

The first hub added is automatically set as the default. Labels are case-insensitive.

skillshare hub add https://internal.corp/hub.json --label team
skillshare hub add ./local-hub.json                # label derived: "local-hub"

hub list

List saved hubs. * marks the default hub.

skillshare hub list [options]

Flag	Description
--project, -p	Show project hubs
--global, -g	Show global hubs

$ skillshare hub list
  * team   https://internal.corp/hub.json
    local  ./local-hub.json

Alias: hub ls

hub remove

Remove a saved hub by label.

skillshare hub remove <label> [options]

Flag	Description
--project, -p	Remove from project config
--global, -g	Remove from global config

If the removed hub was the default, the default is cleared.

Alias: hub rm

hub default

Show or set the default hub used by search --hub (bare flag).

skillshare hub default [label] [options]

Flag	Description
--reset	Clear the default (revert to community hub)
--project, -p	Use project config
--global, -g	Use global config

skillshare hub default              # Show current default
skillshare hub default team         # Set default to "team"
skillshare hub default --reset      # Clear default → community hub

hub index

Build a skillshare-hub.json index file from installed skills. The generated index can be consumed by search --hub for private, offline skill discovery.

Usage

skillshare hub index [options]

Options

Flag	Description
--source, -s	Source directory to scan (default: auto-detect)
--output, -o	Output file path (default: <source>/skillshare-hub.json)
--full	Include full metadata (flatName, type, version, etc.)
--audit	Run security audit on each skill and include risk scores
--project, -p	Use project mode (.skillshare/)
--global, -g	Use global mode (~/.config/skillshare)
--help, -h	Show help

Output Modes

Minimal (default) — Only essential fields for search and install:

{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "generatedAt": "2026-02-12T10:00:00Z",
  "sourcePath": "/home/user/.config/skillshare/skills",
  "skills": [
    {
      "name": "my-skill",
      "description": "A useful skill",
      "source": "owner/repo/.claude/skills/my-skill",
      "tags": ["workflow"]
    }
  ]
}

Full (--full) — Includes metadata for auditing and management:

{
  "name": "my-skill",
  "description": "A useful skill",
  "source": "github.com/owner/repo/.claude/skills/my-skill",
  "tags": ["workflow"],
  "flatName": "my-skill",
  "type": "github-subdir",
  "repoUrl": "https://github.com/owner/repo.git",
  "version": "abc1234",
  "installedAt": "2026-02-10T03:49:06Z",
  "isInRepo": false
}

Audit (--audit) — Adds security risk scores from skillshare audit:

{
  "name": "my-skill",
  "description": "A useful skill",
  "source": "owner/repo/.claude/skills/my-skill",
  "riskScore": 0,
  "riskLabel": "clean",
  "auditedAt": "2026-02-22T10:00:00Z"
}

--audit can be combined with --full to include both metadata and risk scores. Risk labels: clean (0), low (1–25), medium (26–50), high (51–75), critical (76–100).

Metadata fields use omitempty — redundant values are suppressed:

• flatName omitted when equal to name
• relPath omitted when equal to source
• isInRepo omitted when false

Examples

# Build minimal index (default)
skillshare hub index

# Build with full metadata
skillshare hub index --full

# Build with security risk scores
skillshare hub index --audit

# Full metadata + risk scores
skillshare hub index --full --audit

# Custom output path
skillshare hub index -o /shared/team/skillshare-hub.json

# Custom source directory
skillshare hub index -s ~/my-skills

# Project mode
skillshare hub index -p

Workflow

A typical private hub workflow:

1. Install skills           → skillshare install ...
2. Build index              → skillshare hub index
3. Share the index file     → Copy/host skillshare-hub.json
4. Teammates search         → skillshare search --hub [path-or-url]

For more details, see the Hub Index Guide.

Config Format

Saved hubs are stored under the hub: key in config.yaml:

hub:
  default: team
  hubs:
    - label: team
      url: https://internal.corp/hub.json
    - label: local
      url: ./local-hub.json

The public hub is the built-in default and doesn't need to be saved. When no custom default is set, search --hub falls back to it automatically. Fork this repo to bootstrap your own organization's hub.
