Everything you need to know about publishing, integrating, and using skillbooks.
Structured, authoritative content in high-stakes domains works best. Think: regulatory guides, certification study materials, technical manuals, professional methodologies, and reference works. Content where getting the answer wrong has consequences — that's where agents need skillbooks most.
You keep 80% of every page fetch. Earnings depend on your book's price, page count, and usage. A $10 skillbook with 83 pages earns ~$0.10 per page fetch for you. If agents fetch 3 pages per question, you earn ~$0.30 per interaction. As more agents integrate skillbooks, this compounds.
You need to be comfortable with Markdown and basic file organization. We provide CLI tools for validation and scaffolding. One-click conversion from PDF and EPUB is coming soon.
Push updated content to the catalog. Updates propagate immediately. Semver versioning: patch updates are free for existing users, minor updates may adjust pricing, major versions are treated as new books.
80% creator, 20% platform. The platform absorbs Stripe payment processing fees. Compare: Amazon Kindle takes 30-65%, Apple Books takes 30%.
Make HTTP GET requests. Fetch SKILL.md (free), navigate the table of contents, fetch the pages your agent needs. That's it. No SDK, no plugin, no framework dependency. If your agent can fetch a URL, it can use a skillbook.
Credit packs start at $10 (10,000 credits). Each credit = $0.001. A typical page costs 50-200 credits depending on the skillbook's pricing. A 3-page lookup costs well under $1. Full book traversals are priced at the author's set price.
No. Skillbooks work with LangChain, CrewAI, OpenClaw, AutoGen, or any custom agent. The interface is HTTP. If your agent can make a GET request, it's compatible.
RAG requires you to build and maintain a retrieval pipeline — embeddings, vector database, chunking strategy, reindexing. Skillbooks are pre-structured by domain experts with navigation built in. Your agent follows links instead of searching embeddings. No infrastructure on your end.
Currently: HVAC certification (EPA 608), EU AI Act compliance, Shakespeare analysis, JTBD methodology, and Art of War strategy. More domains are being added continuously.
No. The skillbook format is open. It's Markdown directories served over HTTP with a standardized entry point (SKILL.md) and metadata (book.json). Any HTTP server can serve skillbooks. Any HTTP client can read them.
Through Stripe. Operators buy credit packs via Stripe Checkout. Credits are deducted per-page as agents fetch content. Authors receive payouts through Stripe Connect. The platform never touches the money directly.
Anyone with domain expertise and content worth structuring. We review submissions for quality but don't restrict by credentials. The best skillbooks earn the most usage — the market decides.
