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 immediately
  • copy: changes apply on next sync
