# Overview

> The skill registry for AI agents

JaaS Skills lets teams publish, discover, and run AI-agent skill packages the way a package registry handles libraries — with the addition of publish-time content-safety scanning, cryptographic provenance, and fine-grained sharing across tenants.

A **skill** is an immutable, versioned unit of agent capability: a manifest, an I/O schema, a permissions declaration, its dependency list, and an entrypoint (a prompt, a script, or a compiled module). Once published, a given `id@version` never changes — publishing a fix means publishing a new version, the same discipline package registries like npm or PyPI enforce.

  <Card title="Discover & publish" icon="magnifying-glass">
    Search a growing catalog by name, tag, category, or runtime; publish through a web authoring workflow or straight from CI on a git tag.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Version-controlled" icon="code-branch">
    Stateless and GitOps-driven — every publish is a fully traceable, signed event; nothing is ever mutated in place.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Guardrailed" icon="shield-halved">
    Every publish is scanned by a standalone content-safety service before anything is persisted — secrets, unsafe code, prompt injection, license and PII exposure.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Governed" icon="users">
    Publish a skill privately, share it with named users or tenants, or make it public — visibility is enforced per-request, never baked into the index.
