Skillshare CLI
Two Modes
Global: ~/.config/skillshare/skills → ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ...
Project: .skillshare/skills/ → .claude/skills, .cursor/skills (per-repo)
Auto-detection: commands run in project mode when .skillshare/config.yaml exists in cwd.
Force with -p (project) or -g (global).

AI Usage Notes
Non-Interactive Mode
AI cannot respond to CLI prompts. Always pass flags to skip interactive prompts.
# Key non-interactive patterns
skillshare init --no-copy --all-targets --git --skill # Global fresh start
skillshare init -p --targets "claude,cursor" # Project init
skillshare install user/repo --all # Install all skills
skillshare install user/repo -s pdf,commit # Select specific
See init.md and install.md for all flags.
