Sharing Skills

Smidge lets you share your generated skills publicly so others can view, learn from, and duplicate them.

Making a Skill Public

By default, all skills are private — only visible to you. To share a skill:

You can toggle visibility back to private at any time. Making a skill private immediately removes it from public access.

Public skills are accessible at a permanent URL:

URL format

https://smdg.app/s/[skill-id]

The skill ID is a unique identifier assigned at creation. Share links are stable — they won't change if you edit the skill name or content.

When someone visits a shared skill URL, they see:

Note

Visitors do not need a Smidge account to view or download a public skill. They do need an account to duplicate it into their library.

The duplicate feature creates a full copy of a skill in your library. The duplicated skill is:

Duplicating is useful when you find a shared skill that's close to what you need but requires customization for your specific use case.

Tip

Share your best skills with your team by sending them the share URL. They can duplicate and customize to fit their workflow.

Public Skill View

When someone visits a shared skill URL, they see:

●The full rendered SKILL.md content

●Skill metadata (name, description, category, word count)

●The author's display name

●A download button for the SKILL.md file

●A "Duplicate" button to copy the skill into their own library

Note

Visitors do not need a Smidge account to view or download a public skill. They do need an account to duplicate it into their library.

Duplicating Skills

The duplicate feature creates a full copy of a skill in your library. The duplicated skill is:

●An independent copy — edits to either version don't affect the other

●Set to private by default

●Attributed to you (not the original author)

●Free — duplicating does not cost credits

Duplicating is useful when you find a shared skill that's close to what you need but requires customization for your specific use case.
