Publish a skill

A Prompt Dock skill is a small folder an AI coding agent can read. Here is how to package one, get it through review, and hand people a one-line install.

In this guide

Publishing skills is open to every plan, with no cap on how many. Open My Skills in the sidebar and hit Post a skill.

What goes in the package

A skill is a folder of plain text files. The root must hold a file named exactly SKILL.md, matched case-sensitively, and that is the entry point an agent reads first. Everything beside it is yours: reference notes, templates, examples.

Step 1: get the files in

The wizard offers three sources, all checked identically:

  1. Upload files. Pick files, pick a folder, or drag them in. Problems are named before a single byte uploads.
  2. Upload a .zip. Unpacked on the server. One wrapping top-level folder is unwrapped for you.
  3. Import from GitHub. A public repo URL, plus an optional branch, tag or commit and an optional subfolder.

Step 2: review the files

Your staged package is listed back with its tree, file count and size, and anything the server excluded is named here. A rejected package returns you here with every field you typed still intact.

Step 3: the details

Title and description are prefilled from your SKILL.md when we can read it, and both are required. Then set the category, recommended model, tags, a licence, and up to 5 cover images.

  • Slug. Editable until the skill first publishes, then fixed, because it is half of the install command.
  • Free or Premium. Premium contents and installs need an Explorer plan or higher. That gates access, it cannot prevent copying: an installed copy sits in plain text on someone's machine.

Save a draft, or publish.

Review, then installs

Every skill you submit is read by a person before it goes live, free ones included, on first publish and on every later file change. A published skill stays live while its update is reviewed. If changes are requested you get a notification with the reason, and you fix it in place.

An approval can carry a short note from your reviewer, up to 500 characters. It is a suggestion about the version that just went live, not a condition. You get it with the approval notification, and it stays on the skill's page in your dashboard, where My Skills links to it with a Reviewer note chip. Only you and Prompt Dock's admins can read it.

Once live, the row action Copy install command gives you the permanent one-liner:

text
npx promptdock@latest install your-handle/your-skill

Installs and views then show up in Monetization as that skill's contribution to the creator pool.
