Getting Started
Get skillshare running in minutes. Choose your starting point:
What's your situation?
| I want to... | Start here |
|---|---|
| Set up skillshare from scratch | First Sync — install, init, and sync in 5 minutes |
| I already have skills in Claude/Cursor/etc. | From Existing Skills — consolidate and unify |
| I know skillshare, just need command syntax | Quick Reference — cheat sheet |
| Try without installing anything | Docker Playground — make playground in cloned repo |
The 3-Step Pattern
No matter which path you choose, skillshare follows a simple pattern:
# 1. Install skillshare
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/runkids/skillshare/main/install.sh | sh
# 2. Initialize (auto-detects your AI CLIs)
skillshare init
# 3. Sync skills to all targets
skillshare sync
After setup, behavior depends on mode:
merge/symlink: source edits reflect immediatelycopy: changes apply on nextsync
