SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Publishing a finished Claude skill to marketplaces involves fragmented decisions: which marketplace fits your goal, how to package a .skill bundle, how to write a discovery-optimized description, how to pin versions for consumers, and how to monetize. This Skill consolidates that entire post-authoring distribution workflow into one gated process. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Marketplace Map & Selection: Compares Anthropic's official directory, ClaudeSkills.info, skills.sh, Agensi (curated, 80/20 payout, security scan), and hosted options like Agent37/LobeHub, with a default strategy of one free plus one curated-paid channel. - Packaging & Publishing Mechanics: Defines the .skill bundle contents (SKILL.md + references/ + evals/ + optional scripts/), curl one-liner installers, license requirements, and secret-exclusion rules. - Discovery & Monetization: Treats the skill description as activation logic with concrete triggers, and covers pricing models, version pinning for consumers, and CHANGELOG discipline. - Use Case: You finished a skill and want to sell it on Agensi while also listing it free on ClaudeSkills.info — this Skill walks you through the safety gate, packaging, description optimization, and version pinning before submission. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to package your finished skill and prepare it for publication on a marketplace such as Agensi or ClaudeSkills.info.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-marketplace-distribution

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I publish a Claude skill to a marketplace?▼

First pass the safety-compliance-gate, then package a .skill bundle containing SKILL.md, references, and evals without secrets, choose a marketplace by goal, and publish with a pinned semver version. The skill defines this as a gated publish workflow.

Which skill marketplace should I choose for monetization?▼

Agensi is the curated paid option with an 8-point security scan and an 80/20 payout favoring the author. The recommended default strategy is one free marketplace for reach plus one curated paid marketplace for revenue.

What goes into a .skill package file?▼

A .skill bundle contains SKILL.md, the references/ directory, evals/, and optionally scripts/. Secrets, tokens, private context, and unreviewed third-party code must be excluded, and an explicit license is required.

How do I optimize a skill description for marketplace discovery?▼

Write the description as activation logic with concrete trigger conditions rather than vague phrases like 'helps with X'. Include ALWAYS/Also/DO NOT sections and bilingual keywords so semantic matching activates the skill correctly.

Should consumers auto-update installed skills?▼

No, consumers should pin a specific semver version rather than auto-updating unverified releases. Publishers should maintain a disciplined CHANGELOG so consumers can evaluate upgrades deliberately.

When should I not use this distribution skill?▼

Do not use it for authoring SKILL.md files (use skill-creation-guide), security or IP review (safety-compliance-gate), or version and changelog mechanics (melania). It only covers where and how to publish after those steps.
