Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Existing package managers (npm, etc.), aipack (similar tool on GitHub), GuardRails/Beads, RTK (Rust Token Killer)
Concerns raised: Non-technical users struggle with Git workflows for sharing skills, Skills often have dependencies on each other, not truly independent, Another package manager may fragment ecosystem further, Most skills are tightly coupled to internal company systems, not generalizable, Distributing Go/Rust binaries via npm is problematic
Feature requests: Local config creation/export/import for team sharing without Git, Non-tech user interface for sharing skills/documents (no Git required), Auto-update mechanism for packaged plugins via MCP, Dependency management between skills, Support for distributing non-npm binary tools (Go, Rust)
