v1.16.0Browse, edit, and organize AI agent skills in one Mac app.

About
Chops collects the skills and agents scattered across the dotfile folders of Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Copilot, Aider and Amp and shows them in a single three-column library. A built-in editor parses frontmatter and saves with Cmd+S, while full-text search, favorites and collections help you find and group files without touching the originals. The library updates instantly when files change on disk, and new skills or agents start from the right boilerplate for each tool. You can also browse and install skills from the skills.sh registry or from remote servers. Needs macOS 15 or later.
