Project name: SkillCompass

Project description: A tool for testing, diagnosing, and improving AI agent skills. It helps make skill quality easier to inspect, compare, and improve over time instead of relying on guesswork.

Would also love people to just try it and tell us what feels useful vs. rough. Early feedback from people actually working with skills is probably the most valuable thing for us right now.

Project name: TNTStack

Project description: A monorepo template for building cross-platform apps. Write your code once and build for Web, Desktop, and Mobile.

What do you hope to build this month? I need to flesh out the landing page. Right now it only has a hero section, so I want to build out the missing parts (e.g Features, Pricing, etc. and a dedicated Download page UI) to make the template feel like a complete, out-of-the-box.

What kind of skills do you need? Frontend skills (Next.js, React, Tailwind, Shadcn UI etc.) to help design and implement the landing page sections.

Anyone looking for an easy first contribution: helping tweak the documentation, or reviewing/fixing our i18n translations (currently have 10 languages generated via LLM, so native speakers fixing them or adding new languages would be amazing).

QA / Testers to install and test the compiled application releases (desktop, mobile) on different operating systems, as well as test the CLI tool used to scaffold the project.
