Skill Registry

A Skill Registry is the searchable directory of available AI skills — exposing skill metadata (name, description, input/output schemas, version, owner, tags, performance metrics) so applications and users can discover, evaluate, and select skills programmatically. Registries are the lookup layer of a mature skill ecosystem. Like package registries (npm, PyPI, Maven Central) or API registries (Postman, Swagger Hub), skill registries enable discovery and consumption at scale. Modern skill registries include version histories, dependency information, usage statistics, and trust signals (review counts, organizational endorsements). Examples include Anthropic's Skills registry, Microsoft Copilot's plugin directory, OpenAI's GPT Store, Hugging Face Spaces (which has skill-like properties), and emerging enterprise registries. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs use skill registries as authoritative inventories — supporting responsible AI through visibility into the full catalog of capabilities deployed across enterprise AI portfolios.
