This page is the index of the Skills Board alternatives: one page per option a team already has for passing skills around, with Skills Board next to it.

Each page says plainly when the other option is the better fit, and links every claim about it to a public page you can check yourself.

## Alternatives

- [The shared GitHub repo, and the alternative to it](https://www.skillsboard.sh/alternatives/github-repo): The default setup for engineering teams. Where it holds up, where a shared library fits better, and how to run both.
- [Skills Board vs skills.sh](https://www.skillsboard.sh/alternatives/skills-sh): A public directory with a leaderboard and packs, next to a private team library. Where each one belongs.
- [Skills Board vs Smithery](https://www.skillsboard.sh/alternatives/smithery): A public registry with managed connections, next to a team-curated library. Two different problems.
- [Skills Board vs Superpowers](https://www.skillsboard.sh/alternatives/superpowers): An installed methodology plugin next to a team registry. What each one is for, and why most teams end up with both.
