team/frontend/ui→team__frontend__ui - Auto-pruning — Orphaned symlinks removed on sync

See Team Edition Guide for details.
What if I modify a skill in a target directory?
Since targets are linked to source, you're editing the source directly. All targets see changes immediately.
How do I keep CLI-specific skills?
Use merge mode (default). Local skills in targets are preserved.
Accidentally deleted a skill?
Recover with git: cd ~/.config/skillshare/skills && git checkout -- deleted-skill/
Windows: Do I need admin privileges?
No. skillshare uses NTFS junctions (not symlinks), which don't require elevated permissions.
See FAQ & Troubleshooting for more.
