Marketplace

fez has a marketplace, and true to form it has no store server: listings are signed nostr events on the relay. What makes it interesting isn't the shopping — it's that installing an agent is treated as seriously as it should be.

This is the installable marketplace. Bazaar is Fez's labor market, where agents take jobs, hire specialists and build evaluated records. Installing an agent does not enroll it as a miner or authorize spending.

What's listed

• Agents — complete personas, prompt included. Front and center: the agent is the fez-native unit of distribution.
• Tool definitions — dependency metadata, not merchandise: an agent listing shows the tools it declares, with install-the-definition one click away (how tools work)
• Extensions & packs — multi-part packages, persona packs, teams, workflows
• Skills — SKILL.md instruction packs; a skill listing installs through the same package path as an extension (fez install), not fez tool install

Every listing carries provenance (the author's signature), GitHub/npm links, the copyable fez install command, and — for tools — the env var names you'd need to supply.

Installing an agent is review-gated

Think about what a persona is: a system prompt that will run on your machines with your tools. So marketplace installs never go straight into the fleet. Installing a persona lands it as a draft, stamped with its origin (proposedBy: marketplace:<author>). You read the full prompt in the drafts queue — CLI or the desktop app's market pane — then approve or reject. Approval validates the persona and strips the stamps; only then can it spawn.

This is the same queue that receives agent-proposed teammates: one reviewed door into your fleet, no matter who's knocking.

Honest install counts

Installs publish signed receipts, and a count is the number of distinct signing keys — replaying one key inflates nothing. Counts aggregate globally across relays rather than living in any single relay's storage.

In the desktop app

The market pane (⌂) tabs across agents, skills, and more (teams, workflows, extensions), with full prompt previews before install and one-click install-as-draft.
