HHermosskills Ask a sponsor question
Forwardable 1-page pitch

Maintainer economics for agent skills.

AI teams depend on small, trusted operational skills: deploy checklists, safety gates, model-provider setup, browser QA, Stripe go-live, and incident runbooks. The people maintaining those practices rarely get paid for the quiet work that keeps them usable.

Why a maintainer or tool builder should care

Uncurated skill directories optimize for surface area. Hermosskills optimizes for trust: a visible review method, dated catalog entries, disclosure of sponsorship, and human stop points for risky work.

That creates a funding lane for the kind of maintenance work that usually disappears into Slack threads, README footnotes, and unpaid community support.

What sponsorship does not buy

  • No hidden placement or fake endorsement.
  • No promise that a skill is safe forever.
  • No unattended posting, emailing, deploying, payment movement, or private-data scraping.
  • No legal, tax, banking, or compliance advice.

What a sponsor gets before paying

  1. The skill category or public artifact to maintain first.
  2. The visible sponsor disclosure language.
  3. The review/audit path for that skill.
  4. The tier recommendation: $49/mo, $250/mo, or custom commission.

No blind checkout needed. The sponsor question form creates a local human-review task; Pete replies only after checking fit.

Copy/paste follow-up

NAME — here is the one-page maintainer-economics pitch I mentioned: https://hermosskills.com/sponsor/maintainer-economics/ The question is whether sponsor-funded maintenance can support the agent skills your community already relies on, without hidden placements or fake trust marks. If it is worth a look, the lowest-friction reply is simply the skill category you think should be maintained first.

Approval-gated: review the actual thread before sending. Do not paste this into private communities without permission.

Next step

If this fits your work, send one sponsor question. Name the skill category, the tier you are considering, and what proof would make sponsorship credible.
