About AI Skill Bank

Package-registry thinking, applied to AI capabilities.

What it is

AI Skill Bank is a registry for skills — documented, versioned, reusable AI capabilities — and a directory of MCP servers that expose capabilities to agents over the Model Context Protocol.

The premise is simple: software got reliable when it got package managers. AI capabilities are still passed around as pasted prompts and folklore. A registry gives them what packages have — versions you can pin, changelogs you can read, licenses you can trust, and documentation you can audit.

skills
Versioned capability packages: prompts, schemas, and tooling with a README, a manifest, and a changelog.
MCP servers
Standalone processes speaking the Model Context Protocol, listed with transport, version, and category.
semver
Strict semantic versioning, enforced at publish. Published versions are immutable.

What it isn't

  • Not a model provider. The registry hosts capability definitions, not inference.
  • Not a prompt marketplace with hype metrics. You won't find download counts, star counts, or "trusted by" badges here — evaluate a skill by reading its README and changelog.
  • Not open for submissions yet. The pipeline, review process, and takedown policy are still being built. The draft guidelines are public so publishers can prepare.

Roadmap

  1. nowpublic preview
    • Static registry design, sample catalog, draft publishing policy.
  2. nextsubmission pipeline
    • Manifest validation, README linting, immutable version storage, review queue.
  3. laterregistry CLI
    • skillbank CLI: search, install, pin, audit, and publish from the terminal.
