product
Operators and developers who run AI agents (Claude Code, Cowork, OpenClaw, NemoClaw, Antigravity). They arrive to browse, evaluate, and install agent skills. Context: mid-task, technical, allergic to hype. The job: find a skill they can trust, install it in one command, leave.
solidstate.cc is a curated AI agent skills marketplace. Honest directory: real provenance, real licenses, no fabricated install counts. Success = a visitor installs a skill or submits one. Curation over scale.
Stark. Compressed. Calm. Monochrome black/white identity, JetBrains Mono uppercase labels, Inter body. The voice is Jack Butcher contrast pairs + Karpathy build-from-scratch + Naval calm leverage. Median 9-word sentences. Show the artifact, then explain.

__Solid State/solidstate.md). - Decorative motion, orchestrated page loads.
- The directory is the design. Density and scannability beat decoration.
- Monochrome carries the brand. Hierarchy through weight, scale, and spacing, never hue.
- Earned trust: real data, visible provenance, honest empty states.
- One command to install. Every page ends in a copyable artifact.
- Disappear into the task. No element should ask to be noticed.
