What you can do with it
- Install ready-made skills from a GitHub repository into your chosen coding agent with one command
- Search for, list, update and remove installed skills across projects
- Create your own skill template and share it with others
Make money with it
A freelancer could write and sell custom skill packs, or set up tailored agent skills for clients' development teams as a paid service.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Give a freelance development team the same set of coding-agent instructions across every client project, so output is more consistent
- Package your own working methods as skills so junior staff or contractors get the same agent behaviour without extra training
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
