> 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?
Yeah, HN isn't going to be your target market by and large -- this is the home of the folks that would, at most, pull up a page describing a skill and dump it into a harness.
I wouldn't take that as fatal. Most people aren't HN people.
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

Fair
Yes there definitely are.

Why not ask the AI to research the topic you’re interested in and draft the skill(s) for you?
I feel like skills are going to succumb to influencer branding. People will use the ones their idol says to use.
Agreed here, though this product/marketplace may be able to be a landing site for precisely that.
Are there intentionally zero skills listed/curated?
now do craigslist for human skills, curated by AI!
