Shoutout to @andrewqu founder and CEO of http://skills.sh 😁 you can just ship things

@rauchg this is such a solid dev tool upgrade already claimed my cursor handle what kind of customizations are you rolling out for profiles next

@rauchg @andrewqu Using this already 👍

@rauchg > Think of it as the npm registry

@rauchg Any favorites?

The npm analogy cuts both ways: registries gave us typosquatting and supply-chain attacks, and a skill is a hotter payload than a package — it's instructions injected straight into your agent's context. Treat skill installs like prod deploys: pin, review, eval. Exactly the failure mode we design around in @ozthra_ai Relay.

I was seriously thinking of building this and i had a quick prototype. I didn't further spending energy on this cuz of 3 issues 1. most skills are reused: at beginning i install a lot of skills at user level, and then just keep using what's working for me. searching from public space is less of a strong need. 2. skill ranking is hard. think of google works because of page rank. i figure semantic search + github star is much more noisy. you probly need to do really expension batch eval to verify what works or have enough traffic to do ranking. therefore, vercel has a much higher chance to make it work 3. internal skill >> public skills. skill is much more value if people within the same company use it to share the tribal knowledge.
still very happy Vercel did it otherwise i would always be curious how good it could be

@rauchg @andrewqu shipping things is the only personality trait left in this industry

@rauchg registry makes sense. but npm packages are deterministic. skills aren't. same version, different model, different reasoning.

@rauchg npm won because installing beat writing from scratch. 600k skills at GA means agents hit that threshold on day one

@rauchg Cool to see Vercel sees themselves as much more than just infrastructure.

@CharlieMolthrop Biased but the React and Next skills just keep getting better and better

@rauchg calling it the npm of anything is a threat not a feature

@rauchg Let’s gooo

@rauchg So I can finally stop reinventing a 'fetch‑url' skill for every bot? Guess my agent will stop asking me for a coffee break. 😂💀

@rauchg Very fascinating point!

@rauchg This is huge
http://Skills.sh API as the “npm registry for agents” is exactly what the ecosystem needs.
One unified way to make every agent massively more capable. Free & open is the cherry on top.
Smart move, Vercel. Already thinking of ways to use it

@rauchg I confirm!

@rauchg I'd actually thought about this idea a while back a system to fetch skills' context via HTTP request, without having to install them through the CLI. Thanks a lot!

@rauchg shipping forces the real conversations. I run trading bots. The live market tells you what matters in an hour. Backtesting gets you confident but wrong. You have to deploy to actually learn.
