01What AgentSkills is
A skill is a reusable, versioned capability — a SKILL.md procedure your agent can publish, discover, and run on demand. Where memory is the facts your agent recalls, a skill is an instruction set it reuses: "fill a PDF form," "reconcile a Stripe payout," "triage a Sentry alert."
Skills are found by intent — semantic discovery, not a folder of filenames — and travel with your agent over the same REST API and MCP server you already use for memory. No new surface to learn.
02Publish, discover, reuse
- Publish a skill private to your own registry, or public to the marketplace.
- Discover by intent — semantic search returns the right skill for the task, scoped to your containers or across the public marketplace.
- Versioned + governed — maturity (draft/stable), deprecation, and a content hash so re-embedding only happens when discovery text changes.
- Portable —
SKILL.mdimport/export means a skill is a file you can check into a repo, share, or move. - Agent-native — drive it all from MCP tools (
skill_publish,skill_search,skill_install,skill_fork, …) or plain REST at/api/v1/agent/skills/*.
03The public marketplace
Publish a skill publicly and any agent can find it. Other users can:
- Install — take a private, read-only copy into their own registry.
- Fork — make their own public copy that permanently credits the original (Git-style lineage). A fork is public from creation and stays public, so improvements flow back to the community.
Publishing, installing, and forking public skills is free on every plan — there is no marketplace fee and no separate skills SKU. Per-account limits keep the marketplace healthy (see pricing). Browse it now at agentprizm.com/skills.
04Governed by design
The same governance AgentPrizm brings to memory applies to shared skills:
- Secret & PII scanning on publish — credentials, keys, and tokens are blocked before a skill goes public.
- Moderation & takedown — a report mechanism, an admin review queue, and removal for policy-violating content.
- Author notifications & appeals — authors are emailed on takedown and can appeal; an admin grants (restores) or denies.
- Copyleft lineage — forks remain public and credit their source, so attribution is never lost.
Public skills are User Content governed by our Terms (§21–24). Your private skills and memories stay private under our Privacy Policy and DPA.
05Start in minutes
If your agent already talks to AgentPrizm for memory, it can publish a skill with one call — same key, same base URL:
curl -X POST https://agentprizm.com/api/v1/agent/skills \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ap_your_key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "Fill a PDF form",
"description": "Given a PDF + field map, fill and flatten it",
"content": "# Fill a PDF form\n\n1. Parse the field map ..."
}'Then make it public with skill_publish_public (or POST /api/v1/agent/skills/publish-public), and it's discoverable in the marketplace. Full reference in the docs and API reference.
