What is it?

Chops is a native macOS app that collects the skills and agent definitions scattered across coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and Amp into a single window. Instead of hunting through dotfiles in several home-directory folders, you can see every skill in one list, filter by tool, and search across names, descriptions, and content.

The app includes a monospaced editor with Cmd+S save and frontmatter parsing, and it watches the file system so the list updates when files change on disk. Collections let you group skills without moving the source files. You can also create new skills or agents with boilerplate suited to each tool, connect to remote servers, and browse or install skills from the skills.sh registry.

The app is built with SwiftUI and SwiftData and requires macOS 15 or later. It runs without the app sandbox so it can read dotfiles across the home directory, and it is built from source with xcodegen.

Key features

  • 01Discovers skills and agents from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Amp, and other tools.
  • 02Built-in editor with Cmd+S save and frontmatter parsing.
  • 03Real-time updates via FSEvents when files change on disk.
  • 04Full-text search across name, description, and content.

  • 06Creates new skills and agents with per-tool boilerplate.
  • 07Browse and install skills from the skills.sh registry.

Use cases

  • Keeping track of skills and agents across several AI coding tools on one Mac.
  • Editing agent instruction files without digging through hidden dotfile directories.
  • Grouping a shared set of skills into collections for different projects.
