Each content area has its own view showing items installed on your machine.
All area views (Skills, Agents, Hooks, Instructions, Plugins, Prompts / Commands) share the same set of features:
- Duplicate detection with color-coded icons
- Sync/get-latest for duplicates
- Collapse/expand state persistence
- Search, refresh, default download location, expand all toolbar buttons
- Move to / Copy to between locations
- Copy to Plugin (except Plugins view)
- Show in Marketplace
- File watchers with debounced refresh
Every area view has these toolbar buttons:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search | Filter items by name or description |
| Refresh | Re-scan all locations for changes |
| Default Download Location | Choose where new downloads go |
| Add {Area} | Create a new item (pick a location, enter a name) |
| Expand All | Expand all location groups |
| Collapse All | Collapse all location groups |
When the same item name appears in multiple locations, icons change color:
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Purple | Unique — only one copy exists |
| Green | Newest — this copy has the latest changes |
| Orange | Older — a newer copy exists elsewhere |
| Blue | Same — all copies are identical |
Editing a file automatically triggers re-comparison. File watchers cover both workspace and home directory locations.
| Action | Available on | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Add {Area} | Location folders | Creates a new item with area-specific scaffolding at that location |
| Copy #{path} | Items, subfolders, files | Copies a chat-ready item path (starting with #) to the clipboard |
| Copy Absolute Path | Items, subfolders, files | Copies the fully resolved filesystem path to the clipboard |
| Rename | Items | Prompts for a new name and renames the item on disk, updating the name in its definition file |

Use the "Add {Area}" button in the toolbar or right-click a location folder and choose "Add {Area}". You'll be prompted for a name, which gets normalized (lowercase, special characters become dashes).
Each area creates the right scaffolding automatically:
| Area | What gets created |
|---|---|
| Skills | Folder with SKILL.md (frontmatter with name, description, version) |
| Agents | {name}.agent.md with frontmatter |
| Hooks - GitHub | Folder with README.md and {name}.hooks.json |
| Hooks - Kiro | Folder with README.md and {name}.hooks.json |
| Instructions | {name}.instructions.md with frontmatter |
| Plugins | Folder with README.md, plugin.json, .mcp.json, and .claude-plugin/ |
| Prompts | {name}.prompt.md with frontmatter |
When using the toolbar button, you can also enter a custom path. Paths must be relative or start with ~.
