We compared four ways to distribute and monetize AI agent skills — SkillSafe, skills.sh, plain GitHub, and generic digital marketplaces — on distribution, security, payments, and who can actually use what you ship.
The full funnel from a SKILL.md on your laptop to revenue: save it on SkillSafe, pass the security scan, ship it as a hosted app, set your markup — and keep 100% of it — then cash out.
Step-by-step: deploy a Claude Code skill as a hosted web app at your own skillsafe.ai subdomain — one prompt to your agent, no servers, no auth code, no billing integration. Then share it with anyone who has a browser.
Your skill's audience is capped at developers with an AI coding tool. Turn it into a hosted app at yourapp.skillsafe.ai — with user accounts, credit billing, storage, and AI models built in.
Vercel opened the skills.sh API for programmatic access to 600,000+ agent skills. That is useful, but it makes skill verification a platform concern.
A cross-platform app to browse, edit, create, and convert skills, agents, and commands across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, and Cline.
Snyk scanned 3,984 AI agent skills: 36% had security flaws, 534 critical issues, 76 active malware. What this means for developers installing skills.
A skill without a demo is a black box. Why recording a real agent session is the highest-leverage thing you can do to earn trust and drive installs.
SkillSafe skills can improve from real usage feedback. How the observe-improve-save loop works and how to opt your skills into automatic iteration.
