How-to
Use the same skills in every profile
You wrote a skill in one profile and want it in the others, or you want every profile to always have the same set. There are two ways, and they suit different needs.
Share the skills folder |
Copy a skill | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens | the profile’s skills/ becomes a link to the source profile’s |
the skill’s folder is copied |
| Later edits | reach every sharing profile at once | stay in the profile you edit |
| Good for | one personal set used everywhere | one skill, or profiles that must stay different |
Share the whole folder
- Open the Profiles tab and find Sharing.
- Turn on skills for the profile.
- The confirmation lists the skills that only this profile has: they go to the backup when the link replaces its folder. To keep them, first copy them to the source profile (next section), then turn the switch on.
From then on, a skill created or edited in either profile is there for both. Turning the switch off gives the profile its own copy of the current skills. See Profiles and sharing.
Copy one skill
- Open the Skills tab and pick the profile that has the skill.
- Click the skill, then Copy to… for one profile, or Copy to all… for every profile that does not have it yet.
Copy to all… lists which profiles get the skill and which are skipped, with the reason: they already have a skill with that name, or they share their skills with a profile that gets it. One backup covers every profile. See Skills and MCP servers.
MCP servers and plugins too
- MCP servers: the MCP tab has the same Copy to… and Copy to all…. Sign-ins are not copied: run
/mcpin each profile that needs one. - Plugins: share
pluginsto get the same installed plugins, and sharesettings.jsontoo if the same ones should be enabled. See Plugins.
Skills and servers apply from the next Claude Code session in each profile.
