## The Hook

Skillbox is a self-hosted skills registry for AI agents — versioned skills, scoped client keys, HTTP MCP, and a Docker-first setup script.

## What's Good

MIT (kitze/skillbox). React/Bun/Hono/PostgreSQL stack with admin token auth, per-client grants, checksum-verified CLI downloads, stdio bridge, and optional Jev recommendations. Umbrel packaging and documented LAN/HTTPS self-host paths make it an operator surface, not only a folder of SKILL.md files.

## The Catch

Vs Addy Agent Skills / Stitch Skills: Skillbox is the self-hosted library and MCP distribution plane, not a content pack of engineering or Stitch-specific skills. You run Postgres (or Docker Compose) and guard SKILLBOX_ADMIN_TOKEN; optional Jev tips inherit TypeSafe pricing.

## Verdict

MIT self-hosted skills library. Use when multiple agents need a versioned, scoped skill source you control.
