Skilldocs

Skilldocs is a collaborative markdown editing tool described as "Figma for markdown." It allows users to open a skill document and have everyone inside it at once, with real cursors, inline comments, and an editor that renders as you type. Once the group has finished editing and discussing the document, the whole conversation and diff can be handed back to a coding agent. The product is aimed at teams and developers who work with markdown files and need a better way to collaborate than pasting documents into other apps or sharing screens. Collaborating on .md files is often painful. People paste them into Notion, open them locally and share their screens, or edit in separate tools without real-time awareness. After making edits and comments, there is no easy way to get the feedback back into coding agents. Skilldocs solves this awkward collaboration gap by providing a shared live workspace for markdown documents, so multiple people can work in the same file simultaneously and then export the results for agent use. Skilldocs combines features from several popular products: HackMD's mono viewer, Figma's live cursors and follow mode, Google Docs' real-time highlighting and comments, and Bear's beautiful WYSIWYG markdown editor. During a session, users can edit the doc together, leave inline comments, and see each other's cursors in real time. Afterward, they can copy the diff and comments and send them to their coding agent of choice. The product supports several ways to import skills: dropping a .md file, pasting markdown, importing from GitHub, or importing from a local machine via an MCP. Export is also simple: users can copy the .md of the current doc, the diff, or the comments. This flexibility makes it easy to bring existing markdown content into Skilldocs and then move the results back out. One notable feature is the ability to click on a teammate's avatar to follow them through a doc or even through switching docs. This works like following in Figma, feeling like a screenshare but snappier. Another feature is the ability to cmd+click to create multiple carets and edit several lines at once, a capability borrowed from Sublime. Skilldocs is positioned for collaborative document work in general. The maker notes that it's really fun having a meeting in it, indicating that the product can be used as a live collaborative space during meetings. The ability to hand the conversation and diff back to an agent also opens up workflows where coding agents can pick up context directly from the collaborative session. The product is launched as free, with a focus on productivity, developer tools, and artificial intelligence. The maker is Rajiv Ayyangar, and the product is built with Cloudflare, Vercel, and Claude Code. The team is considering adding proper team source control, as it has been requested by users, and is open to suggestions. Skilldocs addresses a real need for teams that work with markdown skills or docs and need both human collaboration and agent handoff. Its combination of real-time editing, live cursors, inline comments, and easy export to coding agents makes it a practical tool for modern collaborative development and documentation workflows.
