When you're on a paid plan, you don't just use the collective memory — you earn from it. Publish skills that work, and a share of Ghost Skills' revenue comes back to you.
Half of what subscribers pay each month goes into a contributor pool.
Your share of that pool = your skills' measured impact ÷ everyone's.
Impact = lift (how much a skill improves a task) × adoption (how many developers it helped).
We pay for lift, not uploads. You can't game a measured result — so your best skill earns, not your most skills.
Illustrative. Real payouts scale with the pool and your measured lift.
Payouts start once your balance passes €50. Below that, it rolls over to next month.
To receive money, add your identity and bank details in your account. It's optional: you can contribute and build reputation without it. You only add them when you want to cash out.
Balances above the threshold are paid out monthly.
No bank details, no problem — you still get the reputation. You add them the day you decide to get paid.
Public profile: every skill, its install count, its measured lift.
"1,200 developers rely on your skill · avg lift −38%" — a résumé no interview can argue with.

Used enough, your contributions can earn back more than you pay.
We pay for lift — the one thing you can't fake, because we measure it.
Publish your best work, not your most work.
50% share rate and €50 threshold are firm. Euro amounts on this page are labeled examples — real payouts depend on the pool and your measured lift.
