Audit and maintain cross-agent skill libraries with Chops
Use Chops to discover, search, edit, and organize local or remote agent skills across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Amp, Copilot, and Aider.

Use Chops when an operator needs one macOS control surface for maintaining agent skills and agent files spread across multiple coding assistants. It scans known skill and agent directories, parses frontmatter and Cursor MDC files, watches for filesystem changes, supports full-text search, creates correct boilerplate per tool, and can connect to remote OpenClaw or similar skill layouts. Invoke this before installing, editing, reorganizing, or auditing skills across runtimes instead of manually digging through dotfiles. The boundary is skill-library operations for agent runtimes; it is not a generic macOS productivity app, a registry listing, or a replacement for actually running the target coding agent.
What this skill actually does
Inputs and prerequisites: macOS 15 or later, Chops app, local Claude Code/Cursor/Codex/Windsurf/Amp/Copilot/Aider skill directories or supported remote skill server.
Setup notes: Download the latest macOS app from https://github.com/Shpigford/chops/releases/latest/download/Chops.dmg, open Chops, allow it to scan the supported skill directories, then use the built-in editor, search, collections, and remote server connection settings to maintain agent skills.
Source and verification boundary: use https://chops.md as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.
Framework fit: publish this as a Multi-Framework workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
