/request-changes I don't know what you planned to submit, but the links all point to your marketplace, and I see no reference to yt-context at all. I reallly hope this wasn't a tricky attempt to promote your marketplace.

hye @hesreallyhim - my mistake, I was using claude code to help me create these submissions and didn't double-check that they align with contributors guidelines.

To clarify:

• I am building a open-source & free registry of skills (conduit8), but there is a submission for it here
• yt-context is a unique skill that I created for my own registry which helps Claude do more reliably a task I found useful for my own work (load a YT vid into context without third party APIs / tools). It's code is open-source and anyone can install it using command above. The link points the web platform which I am building to simplify discovery of skills.

However, I think having 2 links pointing to the same resource is a bad idea - sorry for the duplication. IMO I'd say submitting a separate skill would make more sense potentially to repos which only accept / share skills.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Alex

@alexander-zuev gotchu, so but it sounds like you're submitting a plugin marketplace, no?

[alexander-zuev]

Yep, haha that's what I hope it will evolve to (right now its only skills, but ofc I want to grow it to agents / agent services generally).

With regard to this submission again this was an individual skill but I am happy to follow your lead on if it belongs in the repo.

And if I have 2 minutes to pitch why I believe it will be a worthy addition:

• the skills and registry will stay open-source
• platform will provide a safe execution environment for end users
• overall my plan is to make the best platform to host agent skills (or services broadly), discover them, share them, use them

The parts that I have right now (only been working on it for 1 week):

• cli that provides an easy way to install skills
• web platform that simplifies discovery
• unique and growing skill collection from official sources (Anthropic) and the community. Currently have 20 skills in total

@alexander-zuev do you have a link that points to the yt-context skill itself? regarding your other comments, I can't remember what we discussed in the other thread, but I have nothing against your project, I just don't think that in my repo's current form I'm not able to include marketplaces (or marketplace-like-things) as specific resources. Regarding the Conduit8 privacy policy, I notice you collect a lot of data, especially to do with Slack, is there any telemetry/collection that happens for any user that installs a single skill?
