theSkills.ai Protocol (formerly RentAHuman)
Product Requirements Document (PRD) v3.0.1.
Defining the standard for tradable human intelligence assets and the MCP integration layer.
Core Business Model
1. Assetization of Skill
Traditionally, human capital is rented by time (hourly rate).theSkills.ai shifts this to an "Asset First" model.
- Maintainers define a "Skill Protocol" (e.g., React Arch).
- Users buy the Asset (License) for instant access to syllabus/knowledge.
- Ownership grants "Priority Access" to the human for hourly consulting.
2. The MCP Liquidity Layer
We expose human skills as API tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- AI Agents (Claude, Gemini) can "search" for human experts.
- Agents can autonomously "book" or "query" human knowledge.
- Creates a liquid market where AI is the demand side.
