SkillsBoard
Skills Board is a free, open-source (MIT) shared library for the AI skills a team recommends, with every skill kept connected to its original source. Agents connect through an authenticated remote MCP server (browser sign-in, no API key to copy) to search team skills and collections, retrieve install commands, and save new skills.

Why Skills Board
Useful skill recommendations tend to disappear into chats, bookmarks, and personal agent setups. Skills Board gives a team one searchable place to collect the skills it recommends and lets every teammate choose how to use them.
- One team library. Save useful skills once, organize them with team-specific tags, and make them easy to find again.
- Different agents welcome. Share the same recommendation across Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other agent setups.
- A choice of handoff. Open the original source, copy a compatible install command, or download the latest skill files as a ZIP.
- Organization-scoped access. Create a team, invite members, and keep each library available to its members.
- Optional MCP access. Connect compatible agents to authenticated, scope-controlled tools for finding and organizing team skills and collections.
[!IMPORTANT] A saved skill is a team recommendation, not a security review, compatibility certification, or pinned release. Skills Board reads the latest available source; inspect that source before using it in an agent.
How it works
- Create a team library and add a skill from its GitHub repository.
- Skills Board keeps the original source visible and records the recommendation for the team.
- Teammates search by task, description, repository, or tag.
- Each teammate opens the source, copies a compatible command, or downloads the latest files as a ZIP.
The public catalog can help with discovery when the deployment has Vercel OIDC available. The team library and direct GitHub flow remain the core product.
Run locally
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20.9 or newer
- pnpm 10
- PostgreSQL 15 or newer
1. Install the app
git clone https://github.com/TommyBez/skillsboard.git
cd skillsboard
corepack enable
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env.local
Generate a Better Auth secret with openssl rand -base64 32, then add it and your PostgreSQL connection string to .env.local.
2. Prepare the database
Apply the committed Drizzle migrations to a new database. This creates both the Better Auth tables and the application-specific tables from the versioned SQL in drizzle/.
pnpm db:migrate
3. Start developing
pnpm dev
Open http://localhost:3000. Restart the server after changing DATABASE_URL, because the PostgreSQL pool is created when the module loads.
Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
DATABASE_URL |
Yes | PostgreSQL connection string used by the application; Neon may use the pooled URL here. |
DATABASE_URL_UNPOOLED |
For migrations on Neon | Direct PostgreSQL connection used by Drizzle migrations. It can match DATABASE_URL for local, non-pooled Postgres. |
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET |
Yes | Secret used to sign and encrypt authentication data. |
BETTER_AUTH_URL |
Recommended | Public application origin; use http://localhost:3000 locally. |
RESEND_API_KEY |
Yes outside development | Sends sign-in OTP and team invitation emails through Resend. |
EMAIL_FROM |
Yes outside development | Verified Resend sender for OTP and invitation emails (e.g. Skills Board <login@your-verified-domain.com>). |
RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET |
Yes for hosted email delivery | Verifies Resend bounce, complaint, suppression, and unsubscribe webhooks. |
EMAIL_PRIVACY_SECRET |
Yes in Vercel Production | At least 32 random bytes encoded as base64 or hex; the dedicated root for email hashes and encrypted unsubscribe links. Local/self-hosted environments can fall back to a domain-separated key derived from BETTER_AUTH_SECRET. |
EMAIL_PRIVACY_SECRET_PREVIOUS |
Only during key rotation | JSON array of retained base64/hex roots used for dual-hash suppression lookup and unsubscribe-token decryption. A prior root cannot be removed while retained records still depend on it. |
GITHUB_TOKEN |
No | Raises GitHub API rate limits for metadata and ZIP downloads. |
VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN |
No | Supplied automatically by Vercel for the optional skills.sh catalog. |
Sign-in and sign-up use email one-time codes (no passwords). Outside development, configure both RESEND_API_KEY and a domain-verified EMAIL_FROM; the fallback Resend test sender only works for Resend’s own test recipients. In development, OTP emails are skipped and any 6-digit code works. Without Vercel OIDC, the Discover catalog degrades gracefully while team libraries continue to work.
Product communications are separate from transactional OTP and invitation email. Signup consent is optional and off by default, can be changed under Settings → Email, and is enforced with local consent history, suppression records, signed unsubscribe links, and verified Resend delivery webhooks. See docs/email-compliance.md before configuring a product broadcast.
MCP access
Skills Board exposes an OAuth-protected MCP endpoint at /api/mcp. After signing in, open Settings → MCP to connect it. The tools can search team skills and collections, retrieve install commands, and discover public or repository skills. With skills:write, they can save new skills and organize collections. They cannot edit or delete saved team skills, install them in an agent, or execute them.
