Help with My skills, sets, the Mac app, and connecting your agents.

Email hi@omgskills.com. Include what you were trying to do, the page or tool involved, and when the issue happened.

Installing a skill

Download the Mac app for Apple silicon, macOS 14+. Unzip the downloaded OMGSkills-Connected file, quit OMGSkills if it is running, move omgskills.app into Applications, then open it. Replacing an older copy is your choice; no update is pushed to existing users.

Need the older app? Download the original Mac app 0.0.20. Its download and update feed are unchanged.

Open a skill in the web library, choose Claude or Codex, and open OMGSkills. Approve the installation in the Mac app. If you need the Mac app, use the setup link in that skill's install panel and return to the same page afterward.

The Mac app currently requires an Apple silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later. Some installs also require Git; follow the app's setup guidance if it is unavailable. You do not need an account to browse or install public skills.

Connecting your Mac and My skills

Sign in on the website, then choose Connect account in the Mac app and approve the browser request. This lets the Mac app report installed skill metadata to your account, including supported skills installed outside omgskills.

If a skill is missing from My skills, check that the Mac app is running and connected to the same account. Open its menu-bar panel, choose Resync, then refresh My skills. Include the agent, skill name, last report time, app version and macOS version when contacting support. Do not send connection codes, tokens or private skill files.

Turn on Sync My skills under Sync in your account menu to keep a private copy of each skill's files in My skills. You can leave out any skill. A file that looks like it contains a key or password isn't synced until you review it and choose It's safe, sync it.

Deleting a synced copy on the web never touches the skill on your Mac. Disconnecting the Mac app stops reporting; it does not uninstall your skills. Set installation is available in the Mac app; automatic skill updates are coming soon.

Adding a skill

Choose Add skill in My skills, then paste a GitHub link (a repository, folder or SKILL.md) or pick a folder on your computer. To add a skill that isn't in the library, or to upload a folder, Sync My skills must be on. A folder upload can be up to 4 MB; for bigger skills, sync them from your Mac instead. A skill with a file that looks like it contains a key or password can't be added.

Sharing with your team

Create a set, add skills, and choose public, invite-only, or only-me access. For invite-only, add each teammate's email, then send them the set's link; no invitation email is sent. Teammates install the whole set from the Mac app at this version, or choose Keep updated to see changes when they reopen the set. You can change access or remove people at any time. Favorites are always public.

Connecting your agents (MCP)

To use your skills in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, Muse or another agent that supports MCP, add https://omgskills.com/my/mcp as a custom connector or MCP server, then sign in to omgskills and approve the request. If the agent says to sign in at omgskills.com first, sign in on the website once, then try again. If Codex says sign-in failed because the issuer (iss) is missing, your Codex is out of date: update it, then connect again.

The agent can search and read your skills, read-only. Skills that can't sync, or that contain a key or password, show by name only. To cut an agent off, choose Disconnect under MCP server in your account menu; choose Allow again to restore it.

The public Library MCP, https://omgskills.com/mcp, needs no account and only searches the open library.

For agent integration issues, include the client name, tool name, and prompt or search terms that produced the problem. Do not send secrets, private files, or credentials.
