From Skill to App: Give Your Skill to People Who Don't Run Claude Code

You wrote a skill. It does something genuinely useful — summarizes contracts, reviews pull requests, plans travel, tutors math. And today, the only people who can use it are developers who run an AI coding tool with your skill installed.

That’s a hard ceiling on your audience. Your colleague on the sales team can’t use it. Your friend on their phone can’t use it. Most of the internet can’t use it.

SkillSafe Apps removes the ceiling: any skill on SkillSafe can be deployed as a hosted mini-app at https://your-slug.skillsafe.ai/ — a real web app anyone can open in a browser, on any device, with no install, no API key, and no account required to try it.

What “deploying a skill as an app” means

An app on SkillSafe is your skill with everything around it already built:

• Your skill’s SKILL.md is snapshotted as the app’s system prompt — pinned at deploy time, so the app’s behavior doesn’t drift when the skill changes.
• The platform serves a web frontend for it at your app’s own subdomain, with streaming output.
• Users type into a page instead of a terminal. Behind the scenes, each run is a metered job against the model you chose.

You don’t provision servers, wire up a database, integrate a payment provider, or write a login flow. That’s the platform’s job.

One prompt to your agent

There’s no separate build tool to learn. The deploy flow is agent-driven — paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent with web access:

Read https://deploy.skillsafe.ai/llms.txt, then deploy my skill
@you/your-skill as a hosted app.

The guide at that URL documents the whole platform API: saving the skill, creating the app, uploading a frontend (or an App Spec the platform renders for you), and publishing. Your agent drives it end to end and hands you a live URL. Prefer to do it by hand? Every REST call is documented in the same guide.

What the platform gives you

Users, without auth code. Anyone can use your app as a guest — no SkillSafe account needed. Users who do sign in get one-click SSO with their existing SkillSafe account, and your app can request consent for their profile or email. Every token is scoped to your app and that user alone; one app can never read another app’s data.

Billing as credits. Runs are metered at actual token usage — $1 = 10,000 credits. The platform estimates the worst case before each run, holds it, then refunds whatever wasn’t used; failed runs are refunded automatically. On top of that you can:

• set your own markup and earn the margin on every run,
• sell subscriptions (the platform handles renewals) and in-app purchases,
• or flip on sponsorship and cover your users’ runs from your own wallet, with per-user and per-app daily caps.

Earnings, active subscribers, and MRR show up in your dashboard. No Stripe integration, ever.

A backend, included. Apps can declare record collections with per-collection access control and a safe query DSL, use vector similarity search for semantic features, store per-user key-value state, and accept file uploads — including images your app can feed to vision-capable models.

AI models, included. Pick Claude, GPT, or Workers AI models per app. Your users never bring their own key, and per-job caps bound what any single run can spend.

Trust, by construction. This is SkillSafe, so the bar for public listing is the same as everywhere else on the registry: every public app is built from a security-scanned skill, and both the skill and the frontend must pass a clean scan before the app appears in the directory. Listed apps also get an SEO-indexed detail page — distribution you don’t have to earn.

Fair to your users

The metering model is deliberately boring: users see a cost estimate before they run anything, they’re charged for what the run actually consumed, and refunds are automatic on failure. New accounts start with free credits and active users receive a small daily grant (free credits expire after 7 days) — so there’s always an audience that can try your app without reaching for a credit card. If you want your app to be completely free, sponsor it or ship it with no paid calls at all; the directory labels genuinely free apps as such.
