hey, i'm nick (@skeptrune on X). i have been using ai for a lot of things i'm not an expert in and thought it would be nice to try and buy paid skills for helping it accomplish those tasks more efficiently.

for example, redlining contracts, creating ai generated videos, different website designs, and more.

curious to see if this resonates with folks here. i figure a more engineering'y audience that's ai coding-agent forward would have similar problems to what inspired me to make this

> buy paid skills [..] curious to see if this resonates with folks here

Probably not.

I'm going to be a little bit reductive, but: why would I buy a markdown file that someone most likely got an LLM to generate while I can just simply get my own LLM to generate a similar one for me for free?

Presumably, like all things, skills will just become increasingly complex until generating them requires architectural understanding. Also I’m sure there are sufficiently nontechnical people who would be happy to pay $5 for something that just works.

That said, I do think it’s hard to see myself paying for skills. It feels like something that lends itself to OSS

Yes there definitely are.

I feel like skills are going to succumb to influencer branding. People will use the ones their idol says to use.

Are there intentionally zero skills listed/curated?
