Skills Sync keeps your agent instructions in one place. Create or install a skill once, then choose which coding agents should have it. This saves you from copying skills between agents, losing track of the latest version, or realizing mid-task that an agent does not know the workflow you already wrote somewhere else.

​
How it helps

  • One shared skill library — Skills you create in Notis can appear in Notis, Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.
  • Local skills come back to Notis — Skills you write for a local agent can sync back to your Notis account.
  • Choose the right agents — Send each skill only to the agents that need it.
  • No duplicate cleanup — Notis keeps one canonical copy when the same skill appears in multiple places.

​
Automatic updates

Skills Sync lives on the Skills page in the Notis portal.
  1. Open Notis and go to Skills.
  2. Find the Automatic sync card.
  3. Turn on Keep syncing and confirm when you want your account skills to refresh automatically.
  4. Click Sync Now whenever you want an immediate refresh.
Enable sync toggle on the Skills page The card shows the last sync time after the first run. On Mac, once background syncing is set up, updates can continue even when the desktop app is closed. Sync Now is available in the desktop app.

​
What syncs

  • Skills installed or created in Notis.
  • Local skills from Notis, Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.
  • The three built-in Notis skills for apps, database queries, and Notis commands. These stay available even when automatic updates are paused.
Curated skills from the Notis catalog are linked locally for use, but edited in the portal.

​
Pick which agents get a skill

Open a skill in the Notis portal and choose its agent targets:
  • Notis
  • Codex
  • Claude Code
  • Cursor
Turning an agent off removes the local link for that agent. It does not delete the skill.

​
Pause sync

Go back to the Automatic sync card and turn Keep syncing off. This pauses regular background updates on your connected computers. Existing local skills stay where they are, the three built-in Notis skills stay current, and Sync Now still works.
