Marketplace
Browse and search public architectures and skills created by the community. Star items for read-only access or fork them to create an independent copy.
Overview
The marketplace is a browse-and-search experience at the top of the Studio sidebar. It has two categories:
- Architectures — complete architecture packages (manifest + skills + templates)
- Skills — standalone skills not tied to a specific architecture (e.g., "add Docker support", "add CI/CD pipeline")
Anyone can publish their architectures or skills to the marketplace, and anyone can discover and use them.
Browsing
The marketplace page has two tabs — Architectures and Skills — each with a searchable grid of cards.
Architecture cards show the name, description, author, tags, number of included skills, and star count. Click through to a detail page with the full description, included skills list, and Star/Fork buttons.
Skill cards show the name, description, author, category tags, and star count. Click through to a detail page with the skill description, template list, and Star/Fork buttons.
Search and filter
- Full-text search across names, descriptions, and tags
- Tag-based filtering (e.g., authentication, messaging, testing, infrastructure)
- Sort by most starred, newest, or recently updated
- Search parameters are reflected in the URL for shareability
Star
Starring an item adds it to your Starred section in the sidebar — a read-only bookmark that auto-updates when the author publishes changes.
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Star | Item appears in your ★ Starred sidebar section (read-only) |
| Unstar | Item is removed from your sidebar instantly |
Stars are lightweight — just a database row, no data duplication. You can unstar from the marketplace or from the item's context menu in the sidebar.
Starred items are available via MCP tools just like your own items. The AI can invoke starred skills, but you cannot edit them in Studio. To edit, fork first.
Fork
Forking creates a full independent copy in your own collection. The fork appears under your Owned section with a 🔀 badge.
- Architecture fork — copies the manifest, all skills, and all templates
- Skill fork — copies the skill definition and templates
Forks track lineage (forked from) for informational purposes, but there is no sync — your fork is fully independent. Deleting the original does not affect your fork.
Sidebar structure
Your sidebar is organized into three sections per category:
SKILLS +
> My Test Skill 🔒 ← owned (created or forked)
> Forked Docker Skill 🔀
★ STARRED
> Add CI/CD Pipeline by Author 🌐 ← starred (read-only)
👥 SHARED
> Analyze Requirements by Author 🌐 ← shared via team
ARCHITECTURES +
> My Clean Arch 🔒
> Forked Microservices 🔀
★ STARRED
> Clean Architecture by Author 🌐
👥 SHARED
> Team Arch by Colleague 👥
- Owned — items you created or forked. Full read/write access.
- ★ Starred — bookmarks to public items. Read-only. Auto-updates when the author publishes changes.
- 👥 Shared — items shared via team membership. Access level depends on team role.
If you own an item that is also public, it only appears in the Owned section — not duplicated under Starred.
Publishing
To make your architecture or skill discoverable in the marketplace:
- Open it in the editor
- Go to Settings (gear icon)
- Under Visibility, select Public
The item appears in the marketplace immediately. You can unpublish at any time by setting visibility back to Private or Team.
What happens when you unpublish
- The item is removed from the marketplace
- All stars on the item are removed — users no longer see it in their Starred section
- Existing forks are unaffected — they are independent copies
MCP integration
Your MCP API key gives the server access to all three categories of items:
- Owned skills and architectures (existing behavior)
- Shared skills and architectures (via team membership)
- Starred skills and architectures (public items you've bookmarked)
The AI sees the same unified tool list regardless of source. get_architecture_details and select_architecture include starred and shared architectures alongside your own.
Public items from other users are not included in your MCP tools by default. Star them from the marketplace first to add them to your tool list.
