FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is SkillCache?

SkillCache is a curated learning-resource hub. We collect, verify, and organise the best free and paid learning resources on the internet across 55 skill categories — courses, tools, ebooks, communities, podcasts and more. One catalog, one standard: every resource teaches, lets you practice, or is studied material.

Is SkillCache really free?

Yes. Browsing the catalog is free and always will be. Around 90% of the catalog is tagged free — and 'free' means genuinely free: no card required, no hidden trial trap. Paid resources exist too, but they are always clearly tagged and never disguised.

How do you verify resources?

Every URL is checked live, prices are checked against the actual page (free tiers, promos and paywalls all get probed), and every description is written against the resource itself. Dead links are repaired or removed. When a check can't be confirmed, the resource doesn't get listed until it can.

What counts as a learning resource for SkillCache?

Three things: it teaches the skill (courses, guides, articles), lets you practice it (interactive platforms, simulators, practice surfaces), or is studied material (official docs, wikis, reference libraries). News sites, asset libraries, marketplaces and pure lookups don't make the cut.

How are the 55 skill categories organised?

Each category is one skill — from Web Development and Copywriting to Health & Fitness and Home DIY. Every resource lives in exactly one category. You can browse the full list on the Skills page.

What is MMIC / Unlock Everything?

MMIC (Muntasir Mahdi Inner Circle) members get full lifetime access to the entire SkillCache catalog — every resource in every category, no limits. Access is granted via a monthly claim code, free for members. See the Unlock page for details.

Why do some resources show as locked for free visitors?

Free visitors see a taste of every category — a floor of the best picks. The rest of the catalog unlocks for MMIC members. This keeps the catalog sustainable while keeping the free tier genuinely useful, not a teaser.

Can I recommend a resource?

Yes — anyone can submit a resource through the Recommend a Resource page. Every submission enters the same triage and verification pipeline as everything else. Approved submissions go live with credit to the submitter.

Do you accept paid listings or sponsorships?

When sponsored or featured listings exist, they are visibly labelled and never outrank editorial picks. Curation integrity is the product — we don't rearrange rankings for payment.

Can AI agents use SkillCache?

Yes. The catalog is agent-readable through our public API, and an MCP server is on the way so any agent can search and pull curated resources directly. See the API & MCP page.

How often is the catalog updated?

Continuously — new resources are added after passing verification, and existing ones are re-checked. The site rebuilds automatically whenever the catalog changes.

Can I use SkillCache resources to build my own course or product?

The resources themselves belong to their creators — SkillCache curates and links, it doesn't re-host. Use the links freely for learning; respect each resource's own license and terms if you want to reuse its content.
