MEDIA PREVIEW
Overview & result
Skillbox is a self-hosted, versioned library for agent skills. Its optional Jev feature ranks authorized active skills for a task using a user-supplied provider key; when unavailable, it explicitly falls back to deterministic search.
From the original post
Self-hosted, versioned skills library for AI agents. MCP, scoped clients, and optional Jev recommendations.
How Jev fits in the loop
- Maintain a versioned library of authorized skills with scoped client access.
- Send task text and active skill descriptions to a configured Jev provider on request.
- Return bounded recommendations, or deterministic search with an explicit fallback reason.
- Load chosen skills by checked revision before applying them.
How to reproduce
- Follow the repository's self-hosted setup and create an authorized skills catalog.
- Enable optional Jev recommendations with your own TypeSafe, Vercel AI Gateway, or OpenRouter key.
- Call recommend_skills with a task and compare the returned ranking with deterministic fallback search.
Why this build matters
Bridges the gap between MCP tool authoring and real-world agent discovery, accelerating multi-agent system development.
Limitations
- Skills must maintain up-to-date metadata and capability tags in the registry.
- Self-hosted deployment requires Docker and environment configuration.
- Tool execution remains the responsibility of the calling client.
