Show HN: Craigslist for agent skills, curated by a human

Skillbay launched as a curated marketplace for AI agent skills, offering SKILL.md packages that teach coding agents to perform specific jobs, with every skill human-reviewed and accompanied by before-and-after evidence showing the same prompt answered without and with the skill. The site exposes its full catalog through a JSON API with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec at https://skillbay.sh/openapi.json and an MCP server at https://skillbay.sh/mcp that provides every operation as a tool, allowing browsing, free-skill installation, and submission without sign-in; sign-in is required only for buying a paid skill, selling, or admin actions. Free skills are also published for direct install via the index at https://skillbay.sh/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json or the command "npx skills add https://skillbay.sh", and the newest listings page currently shows no skills listed yet.
