AI Skill Marketplace

Claude Code and similar AI tools support custom 'skills'—mini-extensions that do specific tasks. Build a marketplace where developers can publish, discover, and monetize reusable skills. Similar to app stores but for AI agent capabilities.

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) ecosystem is expanding fast, and Anthropic, OpenAI, and others are actively pushing plugin and tool architectures that create real demand for a discovery layer — the infrastructure exists but the storefront doesn't yet. No clear incumbent has locked this in; the closest analog is Zapier's integration library, but that's workflow-level, not agent-skill-level. The $2k–10k/mo revenue band is plausible only if you take a transaction cut or charge publishers, since free marketplaces at this scale tend to stall on monetization; a subscription tier for verified or premium skills is the more defensible angle. The biggest risk is platform capture — Anthropic or OpenAI ships an official registry, kills the independent market overnight, and the entire thesis collapses.
