Skill Store - Sell Your SaaS via Claude Skills

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

If you land 40 SaaS companies at $120/mo that's $57k ARR - but Anthropic can ship their own store before you hit customer 40, and the math only works 12% of the time anyway.

Key risks

Anthropic platform risk: Anthropic could ship an official Claude Skills Marketplace overnight, making this redundant with zero recourse - this is not a hypothetical, it is the most likely outcome if the ecosystem proves valuable
End-user adoption thinness: Claude skill usage is still early-stage, so SaaS sellers see negligible measurable ROI from distribution and won't pay for infrastructure pointing at a ghost audience
Chicken-and-egg with no leverage: SaaS sellers need active skill users to justify joining, but Claude users need compelling skills to pull in sellers - a small operator cannot break this loop alone
