Chops

Chops is a macOS app for organising the skills and agents used by AI coding tools. Instead of digging through hidden configuration folders, users see every skill and agent in one window, edit them in a built in editor, and create new ones with the correct boilerplate for each tool. It scans the standard locations for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf and Amp, detects project level skills for Copilot and Aider, and accepts custom scan paths for anything else. It is for developers who run several coding agents and maintain a growing library of skills, rules and agent definitions. The editor parses frontmatter and saves with the usual shortcut. Collections group items without changing the source files, file watching picks up changes on disk instantly, and full text search covers names, descriptions and content. Chops can also connect to remote servers running OpenClaw, Hermes or other layouts to browse and install skills there, and it can search and install skills directly from the skills.sh registry. Chops is free to download. The website describes it as free and open source, and the source is on GitHub under the Functional Source License 1.1 with an MIT future licence, which means each release converts to the MIT licence after a set period. The current version is 1.16.0 and it requires macOS Sequoia or later. There is no Windows or Linux version; the app is built in Swift for macOS only, with automatic updates through the Sparkle framework.
