## Creating a skill marketplace
|
||||
|
||||
A marketplace is simply a public Git repository that contains a `skills.json` manifest at its root. CCSM reads this file to discover what skills are available.
|
||||
|
||||
### Repository structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
your-marketplace-repo/
|
||||
skills.json ← manifest (required)
|
||||
README.md ← optional landing page
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### skills.json format
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "My Marketplace",
|
||||
"version": "1.0.0",
|
||||
"skills": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-skill",
|
||||
"description": "A short description shown in search results",
|
||||
"repository": "https://github.com/user/skill-repo",
|
||||
"branch": "main"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "another-skill",
|
||||
"description": "A skill that lives in a monorepo subdirectory",
|
||||
"repository": "https://github.com/user/monorepo",
|
||||
"branch": "main",
|
||||
"path": "skills/another-skill"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Required | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `name` | Yes | Marketplace display name |
|
||||
| `version` | No | Arbitrary version string for your own tracking |
|
||||
| `skills` | No | Array of skill entries (defaults to `[]`) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Skill entry fields:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Required | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `name` | Yes | Unique skill identifier (used with `ccsm install <name>`) |
|
||||
| `description` | Yes | One-line summary shown in `ccsm search` output |
|
||||
| `repository` | Yes | Public Git repository URL for the skill |
|
||||
| `branch` | No | Git branch to install from (defaults to `main` or `master`, auto-detected by the marketplace host) |
|
||||
| `path` | No | Subdirectory within the repository where the skill files live — use for monorepos hosting multiple skills |
|
||||
|
||||
### What goes in a skill repository
|
||||
|
||||
Each skill repository (the one referenced by `repository`) is a standard Claude Code skill directory. At minimum it should contain one of:
|
||||
|
||||
- `SKILL.md` — the skill manifest (preferred)
|
||||
- `CLAUDE.md` — alternative manifest filename
|
||||
- Supporting files referenced by the manifest (scripts, templates, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Claude Code skills documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) for details on writing skill manifests.
|
||||
|
||||
### Publishing your marketplace
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a public Git repository with a `skills.json` following the format above.
|
||||
2. Push it — make sure `skills.json` is at the repository root.
|
||||
3. Anyone can register it with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ccsm marketplace add https://github.com/your-username/your-marketplace
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
CCSM fetches `skills.json` from the raw `main` or `master` branch automatically, so both of those branch names work out of the box.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy modes
|
||||
|
||||
- **Copy** (default): Skill files are physically copied to `~/.claude/skills/<name>/`.
