New skill packs
Each pack takes 2–4 hours to research, write, validate, and document properly. The catalog grows because someone does the work, not because an LLM auto-generates filler.
302 skill packs. 14 domains. One maintainer. No corporate backing. Sponsorship is the only thing that keeps this going.
The maintainer
I build SkillForge because I got tired of rewriting the same skill prompts every time a new coding agent launched. The packs should be portable. The manifests should be readable. And the whole thing should be free to use.
This is not a funded startup. There is no runway, no investors, no team. It is an open-source project that runs on focused effort and the direct support of the people who depend on it. Every sponsorship dollar goes toward the catalog — not overhead.
Where your money goes
No "community events" budget. No marketing spend. Four specific things that keep 302 packs useful.

Frameworks change. Models evolve. Best practices shift. Without active maintenance, packs start giving bad advice within months.
The catalog site, CLI, search, safety checks, CI pipeline, and generated marketplace surface. Infrastructure that makes the packs usable.
Sponsorship keeps SkillForge independent. No vendor deals, no gated tiers, no rug pulls. The catalog stays free because it is funded directly.
Sponsor tiers
All tiers go through GitHub Sponsors. Cancel anytime. One-time donations are also welcome.
Sponsor tier
The catalog stays free because people like you fund the work directly.
Recommended
For teams that use SkillForge daily and want the packs to improve faster than they would otherwise.
Sponsor tier
For organizations that believe a portable, open skill layer should exist — and want to make sure it does.
Prefer a one-time donation? You can do that on GitHub Sponsors too --- just pick "One-time" instead of "Monthly."
Sponsor wall
If SkillForge saves your team even one hour a week, being the first sponsor sends a real signal — to the maintainer, and to every developer deciding whether to depend on this project. Early supporters get remembered.
