WHAT-IS
What is a skills registry?
A skills registry is where your organisation publishes skills for the team to consume — with ownership, versions, and permissions. Joyst is that private registry: write once, manage across AI tools, share without a fork per vendor.
THE MODEL
Publish → consume
- Publish
Someone owns a skill, drafts it, and publishes the approved version.
- Consume
The team uses the published build — not last week's laptop copy.
- Govern
Permissions decide who edits, publishes, or only uses.
PRIVATE VS MARKETPLACE
Same word, different job
- Private registry
Your org's skills, owned and versioned for your tools and clients.
- Public marketplace
Browse strangers' packs. Useful for discovery — not for org control.
- Joyst choice
Private only. No storefront of third-party skills as the product.
- Across tools
One registry beats parallel skill trees for Claude, Cursor, and agents.
IN JOYST
From write to package
- Write
Author skills in your private registry.
- Version
Keep draft vs published states with clear ownership.
- Share
Folders, tags, and visibility for the right groups.
- Port
Translate and sync so you are not locked to one vendor UI.

No. Skills are portable guidance (often with platform translations). Prompts are reusable wording. Joyst catalogues both.
Not for org control. Publish internally; consume approved versions.
Yes — manage and port from one registry rather than maintaining forks.
