One macOS app to discover, organize, and edit coding agent skills and agents across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and Amp. Stop digging through dotfiles.

## Features

- **Multi-tool support** — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cursor, Aider, Amp
- **Skills + Agents** — Discovers both skills and agents from each tool's directories
- **Built-in editor** — Monospaced editor with Cmd+S save, frontmatter parsing
- **Collections** — Organize skills and agents without modifying source files
- **Real-time file watching** — FSEvents-based, instant updates on disk changes
- **Full-text search** — Search across name, description, and content
- **Create new skills & agents** — Generates correct boilerplate per tool
- **Remote servers** — Connect to servers running [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai), [Hermes](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent), or other layouts to discover, browse, and install skills

## Prerequisites

- **macOS 15** (Sequoia) or later
- **Xcode** with command-line tools (`xcode-select --install`)
- **Homebrew** ([brew.sh](https://brew.sh))
- **xcodegen** — `brew install xcodegen`

Sparkle (auto-update framework) is the only external dependency and is pulled automatically by Xcode via Swift Package Manager. No manual setup needed.

## Quick Start

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Shpigford/chops.git
cd chops
brew install xcodegen    # skip if already installed
xcodegen generate        # generates Chops.xco
