How it works
Pick a placement
Choose a founder sponsorship, category placement, or newsletter block. We keep inventory intentionally small so sponsors stay visible.
Send concise assets
Share a logo, headline, one-line description, URL, and the audience you want to reach. We review fit before anything goes live.
Go live with reporting
Sponsored placements are clearly labeled. You get monthly clicks, impressions, and notes on what to test next.
One native placement package for early Claude skills traffic.
Inspired by the best developer directories: a pinned/native sponsor moment, a short description, a direct CTA, and reporting. Unlike organic rankings, sponsorship never changes a skill's grade or hides security findings.
Clearly labeled sponsored card on high-intent discovery pages
Rotation across Skills, Claude Skills, Agent Skills, and security-oriented pages
Optional short sponsor mention in a future newsletter send
Monthly reporting with impressions, clicks, and CTR
Copy review so the placement fits developer intent

These are the actual components that serve on the site, not mockups. Unit A runs in the sidebar of every skill detail page; Unit B runs once in the /skills feed, after the sixth organic result.
One sentence on why Claude Code users care.
YourTool Up to 95 characters describing what your product does for agent builders.
The green chip is the part money can't buy: submit your tool's skill, it goes through the same public 120-pattern scan as every other skill, and an earned grade renders on your ad with a link to the full report. If a rescan downgrades it, the chip disappears automatically, and the ad keeps running without it.
Trust rules
- Sponsors are always labeled.
- Sponsors cannot buy security grades.
- Sponsors cannot hide findings.
- Sponsors cannot override organic rankings.
- Unrelated or sketchy products are rejected.
- Security methodology stays independent.
- A sponsor's security grade is earned through the same public scan as every other skill, and disappears if a rescan downgrades it.
Ad density pledge
Other directories in this space run 16+ sponsor units per page. We cap ours; scarcity is why your placement gets seen.
- Max 1 sponsored unit on skill detail pages, 1 on listings, 2 on the homepage.
- Never between the security analysis, the install command, and the content.
- Never on /security pages, /submit, or auth pages.
- Every unit labeled SPONSOR: uppercase, before the brand, no exceptions.
- Ads live in our server-rendered HTML for anyone to audit; you're billed only on human viewability (≥50% visible for 1s, measured client-side, bots excluded).
- Clicks are counted server-side at the redirect, so ad blockers can't hide them. You get both numbers.
- Paying Pro members don't see ads, so their visits never count as views.
Good sponsor fits
- Developer tools for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or MCP users
- AI infrastructure, observability, testing, deployment, and code review products
- Secure coding, secrets handling, dependency scanning, and agent safety tools
- APIs or SaaS products that developers could reasonably use inside agent workflows
Not a fit
- Unrelated consumer apps
- Crypto or gambling offers
- Data brokers or lead scraping tools
- Products that encourage unsafe automation
- Anything that would damage trust in security grades
FAQ
- How big is the audience?
- Skills Directory is still early. In the 7 days to September 29, 2026, the sponsor card beside skill pages was seen 15.7k times (half the card on screen for a second or more) and house ads in it got a 0.31% click rate. Over the 30 days to the same date, Google sent 37k+ visits, up 88% on the month before. Slots rotate daily between sponsors, so each sponsor's share depends on how many slots are sold.
- Can sponsors pay to rank higher?
- No. Paid placements are clearly labeled and separate from organic listings, security grades, and trust signals.
- What reporting do sponsors get?
- Monthly reporting includes impressions, clicks, CTR, placement notes, and suggestions for copy or landing-page tests.
- Can I sponsor one category?
- Yes. Category sponsorship is a good fit if your product maps to a specific workflow like developer tools, security, research, marketing, or design.
