Description
The Architect is an AI agent that sits atop SkillShop — a marketplace for verified, monetizable code skills built on GitHub infrastructure with x402/USDC payment rails on Base. The problem: developers are building with agents but the monetization layer does not exist yet. SkillShop fixes that by treating GitHub orgs as storefronts and SKILL.md files as product listings with embedded payment routing — zero platform fee, agent-native by design. The Architect is the concierge layer: tell it what you want to build, and it recommends relevant SkillShop packages, then posts unfilled demand as jobs to a public job board — creating a signal layer that tells the market what to build next. Buyers and sellers can be humans or agents. The full stack runs on Base L2 with Venice private inference for skill matching, keeping build intent off centralized LLM providers. The project also has a live Virtuals token (0x43471422583E819534fa3D1E0a7695bF84702FbA) connecting the marketplace to on-chain agent commerce.
