Vercel packages eve agent extensions as installable dependencies

Vercel now packages tools, connections, skills, instructions, and hooks into one installable unit for eve agents. Developers publish, install, and version that bundle like any other dependency, per Vercel's changelog.

That's the versioning and reuse story ad-hoc skill directories have been missing. It lands the same week Cherry Studio, a desktop client with roughly 48,900 GitHub stars, added its own skills registry, per its GitHub repo.

The skills primitive started in Claude Code and moved fast enough that two unrelated products are now building competing distribution systems around it. Neither source says the two formats are compatible, and neither mentions a shared spec in the works.

Both are solving the same underlying problem. A skill used to live as a folder you copied by hand. Now it needs somewhere to be listed, versioned, and pulled down for reuse, whether that's Vercel's registry or Cherry Studio's.

A compatibility layer or shared spec could head off the fragmentation, but neither source says whether Vercel or Cherry Studio is building toward one.
