Launching aipptskill: a visual gallery for AI skills
Why the existing skill marketplaces fall short, and what we're trying to do differently.
Most AI skill directories today are text-first: a name, a one-line summary, maybe a README link. That works for tools like a code formatter or a database adapter — but for visual skills, the output is the spec.
You don’t pick a poster skill by reading its description. You pick it by seeing what it makes.
aipptskill is a small, opinionated answer to this:
- Every skill has an editorial overview — what it does, where it shines, where it doesn’t.
- Every skill has an example prompt you can copy and run.
- Every skill links to its source repo so you can install it and verify the output yourself.
- Categories are scenes (“posters”, “decks”, “PDFs”), not technical tags.
A note on cover images: The skill covers on this site are hand-designed editorial covers, not screenshots of actual skill outputs. We chose this over filling the gallery with placeholder screenshots or auto-generated mockups. To see what each skill actually produces, follow the source link and try it. As we have time, we plan to replace selected covers with real outputs from the skills, marked accordingly.
We start with the visual subset — slides, posters, PDFs, generative art, UI — because that’s where the gap is widest.
If you’ve built or found a visual AI skill we should cover, drop a line.
