ZhenSkill Marketplace Standards

These standards define the minimum bar for skill quality, package safety, documentation, and commercial readiness expected from ZhenSkill marketplace listings.

Last updated: 2026-04-09

1. Listing quality standard

A marketplace listing should have a clear display name, accurate description, supported platform declarations, and metadata that matches the actual package being distributed.

Featured or paid listings carry a higher clarity bar because they directly affect buyer trust and purchase decisions.

2. Packaging and installability standard

Every distributed package should be retrievable through the documented install or download flow without exposing unrelated server storage. Versioning, file references, and package metadata must remain internally consistent.

  • Install commands must align with the published package name and version.
  • Package paths must resolve to managed storage or protected internal delivery routes.
  • Broken, missing, or publicly leaked paid artifacts are release-blocking defects.

3. Documentation standard

Core public promises need durable entry points. If the site claims whitepapers, standards, protocols, or developer guidance, those resources should be reachable through stable public URLs and visible navigation.

Docs should explain what the marketplace supports today, what is deferred, and what operational boundaries apply.

4. Security and privacy standard

Paid resource access, role-based capabilities, and externally signed callbacks are mandatory security boundaries. A UI-only restriction is not sufficient when the underlying resource can still be reached directly.

Privacy, safety, and commercial controls should be reflected in both route behavior and public documentation.

5. Commercial acceptance standard

A commercial flow is considered acceptable when listing visibility, checkout initiation, payment confirmation, entitlement state, and protected fulfillment all agree with each other.

If any one of those steps can be bypassed or silently fail, the listing is not commercially ready and should not be treated as production-complete.
