1	AgentSkills Hub	anthropics/skills mattpocock/skills Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 meta/astryx	anthropics/skills and mattpocock/skills are trending on GitHub at the same time, while Claude Fable 5.2/Mythos 5.2 raises agent adoption; developers lack a trusted place to discover and install skills.

Week 2: launch paid featured listings, a weekly newsletter, comparison pages, and a simple API with SEO landing pages.	anthropic agent skills examples claude skills directory mattpocock skills list agent skills vs mcp how to install claude skills best claude code skills	Paid featured listings at $49/mo Pro directory subscription at $9/mo Affiliate commissions for AI tools Job board and sponsored placements	agentskills.dev claudeskills.directory skillshub.ai	Platform rules and skill formats may change quickly; low-quality submissions and security liability require review workflows.
2	ZIPBoundary Toolkit	USPS now offers official ZIP Code boundary polygons	USPS official ZIP Code boundary polygons hit 623 points on HN; developers previously relied on approximate Census ZCTAs, so authoritative data unlocks maps, APIs, and territory analysis.
