🍭 Why Candy Shop?

AI agents are powerful — but finding the right skill for the right task shouldn't be hard.

Candy Shop is a two-sided marketplace that connects skill providers (Candy Makers) with skill seekers (Sweet Tooths). Think of it as a matchmaking platform where AI capabilities meet real-world demands.

240+ curated skills across 8 categories — ready to use, fork, or extend.

Built-in Skill Executor

Run any skill directly in the browser with a full-featured chat interface powered by OpenCode. Streaming responses, file attachments, tool use — no setup required.
