Hi all, author here. SX started as a CLI to let developers share skills across AI clients without having to rely on git for storage. This allowed sharing at the Repo/Team/Org and Personal level.
However, the more we spoke to users the more we realized that non-technical users were actually using skills more and more but they had no way to share. And there was no way you were going to get your legal team to install and learn git.
SX 2.0 is targeting non-technical teams by adding a native Mac, Windows and Linux app. Our vault format was reworked so it can be used directly as a claude or codex plugin. And by storing your vault in Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud or others you can be up and sharing in under a minute.
2.0 also adds an extension system with extensions that manage Skill Evals, LLM de-duping, metics and much more https://github.com/sleuth-io/sx-extensions.
It's Apache-2.0 and you can download it here https://github.com/sleuth-io/sx.
