Original: I think AI coding assistants need an "npm" for reusable skills. I'm building one.

Short summary

The author identifies fragmentation across AI coding assistants—each uses its own format for skills, rules, or prompts, forcing developers to rewrite and maintain duplicates. They are building Kitbash, an open standard for portable, versioned, testable AI skills that compile across assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot. The project is pre-alpha and the author is seeking community feedback on the architecture and whether the problem is worth solving.

  • AI coding assistants each use incompatible skill/rule formats, creating fragmentation
  • Kitbash proposes an open standard for portable, versioned, testable skills across assistants
  • Project is pre-alpha; author seeks feedback on architecture and problem validation

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
