Short summary

Build a skills marketplace for AI agents using JSON manifests and a simple registry. Skills are packaged capability sets with triggers and configurations—installation is zero-config and takes seconds. The author's working implementation uses Jekyll and a Python installer, supporting categories, ratings, and client-side filtering.

  • •Skills marketplace enables AI agents to discover and install new capabilities without API keys or deployment pipelines
  • •Core components: JSON manifest (triggers, capabilities, config), registry index, and simple installation script
  • •Production example uses Jekyll with static HTML UI and client-side filtering—no server required

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
