Agent Skill Marketplace Analytics for Cost, ROI, and QA

Agent skill marketplace analytics helps a catalog owner understand which skills are valuable, reliable, and safe to publish. Instead of listing skills by name only, the directory should expose cost, owner, version, intended scenario, ROI rank, and release blockers.

When this matters

A company maintains an internal marketplace of approved skills.
A public skill pack seller needs evidence for buyers and contributors.
A team wants to retire skills with low reuse, high failure cost, or stale ownership.

How to run the workflow

Import skills into a directory with owner, version, runtime, and target scenario.
Run static analysis to classify permissions, credentials, and context weight.
Simulate tasks and store average tokens, failure rate, and saved time.
Rank skills by ROI, adoption potential, and QA readiness.
Use pricing tiers and usage limits that reflect measured cost.

Common risks

A directory without owners becomes stale quickly.
Usage metrics without failure cost can push teams toward brittle skills.
Marketplace copy should not promise outcomes that simulations did not test.
