How the creator marketplace will work
The first version is a creator waitlist and manual review flow. A creator submits a structured SkillKit ZIP package. SkillKit reviews the content, checks for secrets and unsafe claims, builds a product page, connects checkout, and tracks the creator payout for every approved sale.
Creator submission package
A creator should submit one ZIP file named like skillkit-submission-product-name.zip. Inside the ZIP, every product must follow the same file structure so it can be scanned and reviewed.
- skillkit.json - product name, category, price, target buyer, SEO keywords, file list, and creator contact.
- SKILL.md - the main reusable skill instructions in a clean public format.
- README.md - what the buyer receives, how to use it, and what result it helps create.
- CHATGPT_START.md - a paste-ready starting prompt for ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, or Claude.
- templates/ - optional buyer templates, checklists, JSON examples, or copy blocks.
- examples/ - safe demo examples with fake data only.
- SAFETY.md - disclaimers, blocked uses, risk notes, and anything the buyer must not do.
- preview.png - optional product preview image or screenshot without private data.

Safety gate before publication
No submitted skill goes public until it passes a safety gate. We block passwords, API keys, tokens, webhook URLs, account IDs, private paths, personal data, private client materials, proprietary strategy logic, medical advice, guaranteed financial claims, and any promise that a buyer will get a guaranteed outcome.
Malicious-content checks
Early submissions should be mostly Markdown, JSON, text, images, and simple template files. Executables, installers, hidden scripts, obfuscated JavaScript, minified code, suspicious network calls, auto-run commands, browser extensions, and compiled binaries are blocked unless they pass a separate technical review. Code examples must be source-visible, educational, and safe to inspect before use.
Draft marketplace terms
A reasonable first model is 70% creator share and 30% SkillKit platform commission after payment fees, refunds, and chargebacks. Later we can add a lower commission for creator-owned referral traffic. Payouts should start monthly after a refund window, minimum payout threshold, and payment-provider identity checks.
Allowed categories
SkillKit can expand across many categories: AI workflows, productivity, Telegram bots, website deployment, sports planning, finance education, cooking systems, parenting planning, pregnancy checklists, senior care organization, health administration, and other practical routines. High-stakes categories require extra disclaimers and tighter review.
Apply as a creator
Send your category, example skill idea, audience, target keyword, and a short sample. The first version is manual creator review; later, the marketplace can add creator accounts, product dashboards, payout tracking, automated submission checks, and self-serve product analytics.
