Description
Goal
Evolve microsoft/win-dev-skills from a WinUI-focused plugin into a true marketplace for anything Windows-related — additional skills and MCP servers (WinDbg, XAML tooling, diagnostics, packaging, interop, security, …) with curation and a clear contribution path.
Model this on dotnet/skills: a discoverable catalog, per-skill ownership, quality bar, and a documented "add your skill" flow.
Workstreams
- Marketplace infra & curation — grow
marketplace.jsonfrom one plugin to a multi-plugin catalog (per-skill entry, category/tags, independent versioning), keep the.claude-plugin/.agents/.codex-pluginmanifests in sync, make skills discoverable, and define the curation gate: quality bar to be listed, per-skill ownership, review/deprecation process, and the release-tag pinning story. - Contribution path — CONTRIBUTING guide for new skills/MCP servers, skill template/scaffold, review checklist, ownership model.
- Seed skills (tracked as sub-issues below).

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced dotnet/skills model, then inspect marketplace.json and the .claude-plugin, .agents, and .codex-plugin manifests. Review the existing contribution structure before defining the catalog, curation, ownership, and release-pinning requirements. Done means the marketplace supports multiple skills and a documented CONTRIBUTING flow with synchronized manifests.
