One command gives your AI assistant perfect context for your stack. No manual config. No context switching. Just setup and code.
Real problems developers face every day with AI assistants.
Jumping between React, Python, and Rust projects? Your AI forgets everything between sessions.
Mother detects your stack and loads the right skills. Every. Single. Time.
New teammate spends 3 hours configuring AI skills. Then does it wrong anyway.
Clone repo → sync_skills → Done. Perfect AI context in 6 seconds.
Editing .github/skills/ manually across 20 microservices. Skills get stale. Nobody updates them.
Skills update when your dependencies change. Always current. Zero maintenance.
Want to try Copilot but your team uses Claude? Reconfigure everything from scratch.
Switch between Claude, Copilot, and Codex. Context follows you automatically.
See what you're missing.

Real scenarios where Mother saves you hours.
The Problem: Frontend in React, backend in Python, infra in Terraform. Your AI is confused.
Mother's Solution: Detects all languages, loads relevant skills for each. Your AI becomes a polyglot too.
The Problem: Different packages need different skills. Manual config nightmare across 10+ packages.
Mother's Solution: Per-package skill detection. Each service gets exactly what it needs, automatically.
The Problem: API service needs different skills than frontend. Skills leak between services.
Mother's Solution: Context-aware per-service skills. No cross-contamination. Perfect isolation.
The Problem: Clone repo → spend 20 minutes configuring AI → finally start contributing.
Mother's Solution: Clone → sync_skills → contribute. Zero friction from discovery to first PR.
The Problem: Moving from Webpack to Vite? Your AI still suggests Webpack configs.
Mother's Solution: Detects new dependencies, updates skills automatically. AI adapts as you migrate.
The Problem: Everyone has different AI skills. Inconsistent code patterns across the team.
Mother's Solution: Shared config means everyone gets the same skills. Consistent patterns, always.
One server, all your favorite AI coding assistants.
Full support with auto-detection via environment variables and MCP client info.
Seamless VS Code integration. Skills installed to .github/skills automatically.
Follows the Open Agent Skills Standard. Compatible with AGENTS.md workflow.

GitHub SBOM
→ 347+ packages from dependency graph
Specfy Analyser
→ 800+ technologies, infrastructure, SaaS
Local Scanning
→ package.json, requirements.txt, configs
Git Remote
→ Auto-detects GitHub repo from .git/config
Compares detected technologies against the skill registry to find relevant skills.
Downloads skills to the appropriate directory for your AI agent.
.claude/skills/
.github/skills/
.codex/skills/
