Write a prompt once, sync it to Cursor, Claude Code and VS Code automatically

I kept rewriting the same prompts for every AI coding tool I used.

Cursor has rules, Claude Code has skills, VS Code has instructions — same idea, three different formats, always out of sync.

I built a small CLI and markdown standard to fix this. You write a "skill" once as a .md file with YAML frontmatter, and one command translates and syncs it to whatever tools you have:

    skill sync --global

The folder of skills is also a valid Obsidian vault. [[wikilinks]] to notes in a _memory/ folder get injected into prompts at runtime — so your coding style guide or architecture notes travel with every skill automatically.

There's also a team mode: point to a shared git repo and everyone on the team gets the same skills synced to their tools.

It's early (v0.1.0) and rough around the edges. Happy to hear what's broken or what doesn't make sense.
