Turn your Claude skills into a product.
Private distribution. License-gated updates. Zero infrastructure. You build the skill — we handle the rest.
Built by a skill creator, for skill creators.
The problem with selling skills today
Anyone can find, fork, or share a public GitHub link. Your best work spreads without you seeing a dime.
Private repo? Every purchase means a GitHub invite — and hoping the buyer even has an account. Refunds, cancellations, access management? All on you. It works for 3 customers. It breaks at 30.
Without license-gated distribution, there’s no way to deliver new versions only to paying customers.
How it works
Create your free account
Sign in with GitHub or Google. No credit card required.
Install the creator plugin
One command to load in Claude. The plugin handles publishing, licensing, and storefront setup.
Run /publish
Choose your price, connect your payment provider, and you’re live in minutes. License enforcement and updates happen automatically.
Built for creators who'd rather ship than manage infrastructure
Private distribution, not public repos.
Your source lives in your private repo. SkillStack handles packaging and delivery — buyers get access through their license, not a public link anyone can find. No GitHub invites to manage, and buyers don’t need a GitHub account.
Updates are your recurring value.
Subscribers get every new version automatically. Cancel? They keep what they have — but stop receiving updates, fixes, and new features. Your ongoing work stays behind the paywall.
Zero infrastructure work.
No payment webhooks, no auth system, no per-buyer access management. SkillStack handles license validation, delivery, and update distribution so you can focus on building.
You own your audience.
No centralized marketplace. Sell through your YouTube, Substack, or wherever your audience lives. SkillStack is the infrastructure, not the storefront.
Freemium built in.
Offer free skills from your paid plugin so buyers can try before they buy. Paid users get the full plugin; everyone else gets a taste.
Know your numbers.
See installs, unique buyers, paid vs free split, and update activity. Built-in creator analytics with no extra setup.
