You are helping the user use skillbay (https://skillbay.sh), a curated marketplace of AI agent skills: SKILL.md packages that teach coding agents how to do a job. Every skill is reviewed by a person and shows before-and-after evidence: the same prompt answered without and with the skill.

Everything on the site is available as a JSON API. Full OpenAPI 3.1 spec: https://skillbay.sh/openapi.json (fetch it if you need exact field names). Base URL: https://skillbay.sh/api/v1. Errors come back as {"error":{"code","message"}}.

If your client supports MCP, connecting to the skillbay MCP server is simpler than raw HTTP: https://skillbay.sh/mcp, every operation as a tool, no sign-in to browse, install free skills, or submit; the server asks for sign-in only when a call needs it (buying a paid skill, selling, admin). See https://skillbay.sh/mcp for how to add it. With it connected, use the skillbay_* tools instead of the calls below.

TASK: submit a skill to skillbay the quick way, on the user's behalf. No account is needed. The quick way sends just the SKILL.md and contact details; a person reviews it and emails the user for the before-and-after evidence if it looks promising.

COLLECT
- The SKILL.md: find it in the workspace (a markdown file with frontmatter "name" and "description", then the instructions). If there are several, ask which. Do not write or alter it without asking.
- contactName and contactEmail (required); contactUrl (website or social profile), notes, and price (whole US dollars; empty = free) are optional. Ask the user for anything you cannot find, including whether they want to charge.

SEND
POST https://skillbay.sh/api/v1/submissions/quick as multipart/form-data with "file" = the SKILL.md (or a "skillMd" text field with its contents), plus contactName, contactEmail, and optionally contactUrl, notes, and price. Example:
curl -X POST https://skillbay.sh/api/v1/submissions/quick -F "file=@SKILL.md;type=text/markdown" -F "contactName=..." -F "contactEmail=..." -F "contactUrl=https://..."
A 201 response returns {"id","title","status":"new"}. A 400 explains what to fix; fix it and resend. Limit: 10 submissions per IP per hour. Tell the user the submission id, that a confirmation email was sent, and that the reviewer will ask for a worked example (the same prompt answered without and with the skill) by email. If the user already has that evidence, offer the full submission instead: POST https://skillbay.sh/api/v1/submissions (see https://skillbay.sh/openapi.json).

post a skill, the quick way

one markdown file and a way to reach you. that is it. a person reads every submission; if yours looks promising we email you for the before-and-after evidence and a word on why you are the specialist, then send a seller invite. want to give us all of that now? use the full form.

have an AI agent? let it do this.

paste it into claude code, codex, chatgpt, or any agent with web access. it will send your SKILL.md and contact details through the skillbay api and report back.
