# OpenSkills: Run Claude Skills Locally on Your Mac
Anthropic recently announced [Skills for Claude](https://www.anthropic.com/news/skills) - reusable folders with instructions, scripts, and resources that make Claude better at specialized tasks. This tool lets you run these skills **entirely on your local machine** in a sandboxed environment.
**What this means:** You can now process your files (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images) using these specialized skills while keeping all data on your Mac. No uploads, complete privacy.
> This tool executes AI-generated code in a truly isolated sandboxed environment on your Mac using Apple's native containers.
## Demo
Watch Open-Skills in action with Gemini CLI:
## Why Run Skills Locally?
- **Privacy:** Process sensitive documents, financial data
- **Full Control:** Skills execute in an isolated container with VM-level isolation
- **Compatibility:** Works with Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Qwen CLI, or any MCP-compatible tool
- **Extensibility:** Import Anthropic's official skills or create your own custom skills
## Quick Start
**Prerequisites:** Mac with macOS and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4/M5), Python 3.10+
```bash
git clone https://github.com/BandarLabs/open-skills.git
cd open-skills
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
```
Installation takes ~2 minutes. The MCP server will be available at `http://open-skills.local:8222/mcp`
**Install required packages** (use virtualenv and note the python path):
```bash
pip install -r examples/requirements.txt
```
## Setup: Connect Your AI Tool
This MCP server works with any MCP-compatible tool. All execution happens locally on your Mac.
### Option 1: Claude Desktop Integration
Configure Claude Desktop to use this MCP server:
1. **Copy the example configuration:**
```bash
cd examples
cp claude_desktop/claude_desktop_config.example.json claude_desktop/claude_desktop_config.json
```
2. **Edit the configuration file** and replace the placeholder paths:
- Replace `/path/to/your/python` with your actual Python path (e.g., `/usr/bin/python3` or `/opt/homebrew/bin/python3`)
- Replace `/path/to/open-skills` with the actual path to your cloned repository
Example after editing:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"open-skills": {
"command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/python3",
"args": ["/Users/yourname/open-skills/examples/claude_desktop/mcpproxy.py"]
}
}
}
```
3. **Update Claude Desktop configuration:**
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go to Settings → Developer
- Add the MCP server configuration
- Restart Claude Desktop
### Option 2: OpenCode Configuration
For OpenCode users, create `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`:
```json
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"mcp": {
"open-skills": {
"type": "remote",
"url": "http://open-skills.local:8222/mcp",
"enabled": true
}
}
}
```
### Option 3: Gemini CLI Configuration
Edit `~/.gemini/settings.json`:
```json
{
"theme": "Default",
"selectedAuthType": "oauth-personal",
"mcpServers": {
"open-skills": {
"httpUrl": "http://open-skills.local:8222/mcp"
}
}
}
```
For system instructions, replace `~/.gemini/GEMExcerpt of 11,408 characters
