WHAT-IS
What is a skills registry?
A skills registry is where your organisation publishes skills for the team to use, with owners, versions and permissions. Joyst is a private skills registry. Write a skill once, manage it across AI tools and share it without keeping a separate copy for each vendor.

HOW IT WORKS
Publish, then use.
- Publish
Each skill has an owner, who drafts it and publishes the approved version.
- Use
The team uses the published version, not an old copy on someone’s laptop.
- Govern
Permissions decide who can edit, who can publish and who can only use.
PRIVATE VS MARKETPLACE
Same word, different job
- Private registry
Your organisation’s skills, owned and versioned for your tools and clients.
- Public marketplace
Skill packs published by others. Useful for discovery, but they do not give your organisation control.
- Joyst
Private only. Joyst does not sell third-party skills.
- Across tools
One registry serves Claude, Cursor and your agents, so you do not keep separate copies for each.

Skills registry FAQ
No. Skills are portable instructions, often with versions for each platform. Prompts are reusable wording. Joyst catalogues both.
Not to keep control. Publish skills internally and use the approved versions.
Yes. Manage and move them from one registry rather than keeping separate copies.
