Write it as if you're training a new team member. Be specific about the methodology, output format, and edge cases.

Tips for creating great skills:

  • Focus on one task and do it exceptionally well
  • Test against real projects, not just toy examples
  • Handle edge cases explicitly
  • Include example outputs so the AI knows what good looks like
  • Write a clear, honest description for the listing

Step 2: Publish on AgentPowers

You have two options:

Option A: Publish from the website

  1. Go to agentpowers.ai/dashboard/publish
  2. Drop your .skill, .md, or .zip file
  3. The form auto-fills from your frontmatter
  4. Set your price (or leave it free) and click Publish

Option B: Publish from the CLI

pip install agentpowers
ap login
ap publish ./my-skill --price 15

Either way, your skill enters the security pipeline automatically. Once it passes, it's listed on the marketplace.

Step 3: Set up payouts

To receive earnings from paid skills, connect your Stripe account:

  1. Go to agentpowers.ai/dashboard/become-seller
  2. Click "Connect Stripe Account"
  3. Complete the Stripe onboarding (takes 2 minutes)

Once connected, earnings from sales are automatically deposited to your bank account. You can track sales, revenue, and payouts in your seller dashboard.

Pricing strategy

The minimum price for paid skills is $5. Most successful skills are priced between $8 and $29.

Consider these factors:

  • Time saved: If your skill saves someone 30 minutes per use, $15 is a bargain.
  • Specialization: Highly specialized skills (security auditing, compliance checks) command higher prices.
  • Free tier: Publishing free skills builds your reputation and download count, making paid skills easier to sell later.
  • One-time purchase: Buyers own the skill forever. No subscriptions. This makes pricing simpler.
