SkillFab: An Agent-Native Skill Production Platform
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
SkillFab is an agent-native platform for turning missing capabilities into reviewed, reusable Agent Skills. At runtime, agents first search for reusable skills; when no adequate skill exists, the unmet capability becomes a demand-first issue before any repository or implementation branch needs to exist. Development then proceeds through a SkillFab-managed repository, Git-ingested commit evidence, maintainer review, and registry publication. The same lifecycle is exposed through web, REST, and MCP surfaces, so humans, scripts, and external agents operate on shared state rather than separate task logs. The current system uses scoped Git push URLs, native range commit ingestion, workflow-state reads, and workflow-event histories to make long-running agent work reviewable and recoverable. We document the platform model, architecture, implemented capabilities, and three case studies: an end-to-end OS-detect skill run, a Docker research package that converts operational practice into reusable skill knowledge, and an external optimization case showing how improved skill artifacts can enter SkillFab as reviewable, versioned submissions. Deployment: https://skillfab.ai.
