Browse your Claude Code skills — global, per-project, and from installed plugins — in a dedicated sidebar, without leaving VS Code.
Features
Dedicated activity bar view with a tree grouped into Pinned, Global, Project, and Plugins.
Global skills — reads ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md.
Project skills — reads .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md in each open workspace folder.
Plugin skills — reads skills from every plugin listed in ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json (only actually-installed plugins, not the full marketplace catalog).
Pin any skill to keep it at the top of the tree (persisted across restarts).
Click a skill to open its SKILL.md.
Right-click a skill to:
Insert /skill-name into the active terminal
Copy the skill's slash-command name
Reveal the file in your OS file manager
Auto-refreshes when skill files change or workspace folders are added/removed.
Friendly empty-state messages when a group has no skills yet.
Requirements
None — no dependencies on the Claude Code CLI or extension being installed. This extension just reads the same ~/.claude directory structure Claude Code uses.
Development
npm install
npm run compile # or: npm run watch
Press F5 in VS Code to launch an Extension Development Host with the extension loaded.
