A marketplace where the people who built the skill own it.

You've spent a decade becoming the person in your firm who knows what the binder means, what the reconciliation needs, or what the brief missed. That knowledge is yours. It should publish on your terms.

The Marketplace is where you list that knowledge as a skill the assistant can use. Other people buy or rent it. You set the price, the license, and the rules. You can revoke access at any time.

M1 — What the Marketplace is

A creator-first economy. Three rules hold.

You wrote it, you own it.

Skill code, skill name, skill pricing, skill license terms. Yours.

You set the price.

Free, one-time purchase, monthly rental, or any combination. Pricing is your call. We do not pick a default — you do.

You can take it back.

A creator can revoke a skill even after a user has installed it. The license check respects the revocation. The IP is yours. The leverage is yours.

M2 — Why this exists

The assistant doesn't know your domain. You do.

Blue Spark is good at the parts of your day that look like everyone else's day. It drafts the email. It summarizes the binder. It reconciles the spreadsheet. It remembers what you said last Tuesday.

Blue Spark is not good at the parts of your day that look like your day. The specifics of IP prior-art search. The way your firm reconciles a multi-currency balance. The voice your client expects on a Series B deck.

You have spent years on the specifics. The Marketplace is where those specifics become a product other people can install. The first 500 creators solve the long tail for the first 50,000 users. After that, the network takes over.

M3 — The community vote

The monetization model is decided by the people who use it.

There is no forced, top-down selling model at launch. This is a deliberate decision, not a deferred one. The plan publishes November 1, 2026. The community votes on the final mechanics between November 15 and November 30. The Marketplace launches in Q1 2027 with the community-approved rules.

Quadratic voting. A Pro subscriber gets 100 voice-credits; a creator with a submitted skill gets 50 more. Spending all your credits on one topic weighs more than spreading them — the most passionate voter has a louder voice, but not total control. The mechanism is open-source; anyone can audit the result.

M4 — How your skill stays yours

Your skill runs locally. You can revoke it any time.

A skill is a compiled workflow — voice, persona, prompt chains, and tool integrations tuned to your domain. When a buyer installs it, the skill runs on the buyer's machine, against the buyer's data, with the buyer's permission. The skill does not phone home unless a license check needs to run.

Revocation. If you decide — for any reason, or for no reason — to revoke a skill, the next license check turns it off on every machine it's installed on. The buyer's memory of having used it stays; the skill itself does not. Revocation is unilateral. It is yours to use.

Provenance. Every skill carries a signed record of who built it and when — a modern digital signature that says this is what it claims to be; the creator is who they claim to be. It does not say more than that.

The integration layer, in design

CASE SYSTEM LEDGER CODE REPO JADE SEAL NODE

Creators connect their own local tools into the assistant's nervous system via a persistent local connection. This is what makes a skill feel like theirs to the buyer.

M5 — The constitution

What we never do.

  • ×No fake countdown. The vote closes on November 30 because that's when the vote closes.
  • ×No "X people viewing this." If 12 people are looking at a skill, we tell you 12.
  • ×No hidden fees. Every fee the platform takes is published and confirmed by the vote.
  • ×No pre-checked boxes. Marketplace email opt-ins are off by default.
  • ×No decoy pricing tier. No top-down marketplace mechanics at launch.

Be the first to publish

No fake listings. The grid fills when real creators publish real skills.

If you have spent a decade becoming the person who knows what the binder means, you have built intellectual property. The Marketplace is a place to publish it. It is one way the work you have already done becomes the work that pays you back.
