I appreciate the mention of better browsable designs. I created Skly (https://skly.ai/browse) with a similar idea: categories, descriptions visible at a glance, and search. I would welcome any feedback on what could be improved.
I built Skly (https://skly.ai) for this purpose. It's a marketplace where you can browse, search, and download AI agent skills. Currently, it mostly offers coding assistant skills for Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT. You can look through categories and see what each skill does before downloading. Most of them are free.
I built Skly, a marketplace where you can buy and sell skills for AI agents. Think of it as an app store for agent workflows.
Skills work with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI tools. They follow the open Agent Skills format (agentskills.io). Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that contains instructions, plus optional scripts and resources.
The problem I kept encountering is that people are creating amazing prompts, workflows, and agent configurations, but there’s no good way to share or discover them. You often end up copy-pasting from Twitter threads or searching through GitHub repositories.
Skly gives creators a place to publish and sell their skills while allowing users to find and install them in seconds.
Here are some things that might interest this crowd:
- Skills use progressive disclosure. Agents only load metadata at startup and activate full instructions on demand.
- The format is open and spec-driven. It is not locked to any platform.
- Both free and paid skills are supported.
I would love feedback from HN. What skills would you want to see? What would make this useful for your workflow?
We've been building Skly (https://skly.ai), a marketplace for AI skills and rules. Skills follow the open Agent Skills format (agentskills.io), which includes a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter, optional scripts, references, and assets. They function across Claude, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, and other agentic environments through progressive disclosure.
We just published our complete skill documentation. It covers the format specification, best practices for writing skills that actually work, and platform-specific guides for Claude, Codex, and Antigravity.
I'm curious to know what the HN community thinks about the idea of a marketplace for AI agent skills. Is this something you would buy or sell on?
Hey HN, I created Skly, a marketplace for buying and selling AI skills like prompts, workflows, and system instructions for tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.
I got the idea after realizing I was spending hours trying to craft effective prompts. I thought others must be facing the same issue. Why not let people sell what they've created and help others avoid the trial and error?
I would appreciate any feedback on the concept and the product.
