AISPM – AI Skills Package Manager

Visual Studio Marketplace License: MIT

Browse, install, and manage AI skill packages for Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, Amazon Q, Kiro, and Gemini — right from VS Code.

AISPM

Features

  • Browse & Search — Search the AISPM registry for AI skills directly from the command palette
  • One-Click Install — Install skills into the correct model-specific directory automatically
  • Sidebar Tree View — See all installed skills at a glance in the AISPM panel
  • Update All — Check for and apply updates to all installed skills in one command
  • Remove Skills — Uninstall skills from the tree view or command palette

Supported AI Models

Skills are installed into the correct directory for each AI model:

Model Install Path
Claude .claude/commands/<skill>.md
Copilot .github/instructions/<skill>.md
Amazon Q .amazonq/rules/<skill>.md
Kiro .kiro/rules/<skill>.md
ChatGPT / Gemini .aispm/skills/<skill>.md

Commands

Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and type AISPM:

Command Description
AISPM: Add Skill Search and install a skill from the registry
AISPM: Remove Skill Remove an installed skill
AISPM: Search Skills Browse the registry with detailed results
AISPM: Refresh Skills Refresh the installed skills tree view
AISPM: Update All Skills Check for and install updates

Getting Started

  1. Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
  2. Open any project folder
  3. Open the command palette and run AISPM: Add Skill
  4. Search for a skill (e.g. "code review", "testing", "docker")
  5. Select a skill to install — it's placed in the right directory automatically

How It Works

AISPM maintains an aispm.json manifest in your project root that tracks installed skills:

{
  "skills": {
    "code-reviewer": {
      "version": "1.2.0",
      "model": "claude",
      "path": ".claude/commands/code-reviewer.md",
      "installedAt": "2026-04-05T12:00:00.000Z"
    }
  }
}

Skill content (Markdown instructions) is fetched from the AISPM registry and written to the appropriate model directory. Your AI assistant picks up the instructions automatically.

CLI

Prefer the terminal? Install the CLI:

npx aispm install <skill-name>

See the CLI documentation for all available commands.
