    Agent 37▲401

    Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

    Hi HN — I'm Scott. Skillscript is a small language I built to write what I want my local agent to actually do, in a form I can read and version, instead of hoping the model gets it right each time. The itch started with something small. I wanted my NanoClaw agent to run my morning brief the same way every day. Check overnight tickets, summarize the deploy pipeline, flag anything urgent. Every session, it would re-figure out how to do this from scratch, drift a little, and cost tokens for what's basically a fixed procedure. I could put it in a system prompt or an MD skill file, but those are…

    Hey HN! Built a template for distributing AI agent skills via npm. Problem: AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) support custom "skills" but distribution is manual - copy files to ~/.tool/skills/, repeat for updates, no versioning. Solution: Standard npm packages with lifecycle hooks: npm install -g @org/my-skill npm update -g @org/my-skill Benefits: - Semantic versioning (^1.2.0 for auto-updates) - Private registries for enterprise - Standard CI/CD integration - Discoverable on npmjs.com It's a GitHub template - fork, customize SKILL.md, publish.…
