Building your own Corporate Marketplace

taito is designed with enterprise readiness in mind. By leveraging the OCI (Open Container Initiative) standard, taito allows companies to instantly create an internal, private marketplace for AI coding skills, agents, and bundles using their existing infrastructure.

When you run taito package, your skill or agent is bundled into a standard OCI artifact. This means you can distribute taito packages using any standard OCI container registry—the exact same registries you already use for Docker images.

To publish a skill internally, a developer simply packages and pushes it:

$ taito package
$ taito push registry.internal.company.com/ai-tools/my-skill:1.0.0

Other developers can then seamlessly install it:

$ taito install registry.internal.company.com/ai-tools/my-skill:1.0.0

Using OCI registries for internal AI tooling distribution aligns with existing infrastructure patterns:

1. Infrastructure reuse: Leverages existing Docker/OCI registries. Most companies already have private registries for container images, so they can use the same for taito packages without additional setup.

2. Supply chain: Uses standard OCI digests (SHA256) to ensure artifact immutability. This can be used for SBOM creation also verifying a specific version of a skill or agent is save to use.

3. Best practices: Creating bundles with company-wide best practices, internal APIs, and shared context to ensure consistency across teams.

Bundles allow grouping multiple skills and agents into a single package. When maintaining internal tools, consider the following patterns:

• Role-specific bundles: Create bundles tailored to specific teams (e.g., frontend-bundle, sre-bundle) rather than requiring users to install tools individually.

• Standardized onboarding: Maintain a core engineering bundle that provides necessary internal context, API guidelines, and scripts for new developers.

• Version pinning: Pin included skills to specific semantic versions to maintain stability and prevent upstream changes from breaking workflows.

• Metadata: Populate the description, keywords, and author fields in taito.spec to improve discoverability within the registry UI.

While OCI registries completely solve the storage and distribution problem, we know that discovery (searching, browsing, and reading documentation for available internal skills) is just as important.

We also plan to build a self-hostable marketplace frontend that connects to your internal OCI registry, providing a beautiful, searchable UI for your developers to find the tools they need.
