Show HN: Sx – an open-source package manager for AI skills, MCPs, and commands

Hi HN — I'm one of the maintainers.

The short version: sx treats skills, MCP server configs, slash commands, agents, hooks, and rule files as versioned packages. You define them once, push them to a vault (a local folder, a git repo, or our hosted backend), and install them where they belong. There's a lockfile so installs are reproducible, scope levels for org / team / repo / individual, and the CLI translates the same asset into the format each AI client expects.

Supported clients today: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Codex, Gemini (CLI / VS Code / JetBrains / Android Studio), Kiro, claude.ai, chatgpt.com. The last two are what let non-engineering teams (marketing, legal, ops) use the same primitive instead of being locked out of the AI-assets ecosystem.

The thing I'd most like feedback on is whether the scope model is the right shape. Org → team → repo → path → individual is what's emerged from talking to ~60 teams over the last six months, but I expect bigger orgs will surface scopes we haven't modeled (sub-team, environment, etc.).

Why this and not just plugins / vendor marketplaces? Claude Code plugins are real and a good step up over raw git-checked-in CLAUDE.md files. The limitations show up at scale: each plugin is scoped to its publishing repo, so teams duplicate skills across plugins, and you're still locked to a single vendor's client.
