Markbase vs Tessl: Use your skills from any registry, with your team's knowledge alongside.
Tessl is built around its own registry: you publish your skills to it, and your agents install them from it. Markbase works with skills wherever they already live, in a public registry, a private one or your own repository. It also gives every agent the decisions and history your team builds up with each task.
Works with skills from any registry
Your team may already use skills from a public registry, an internal marketplace or a folder in a repository. Markbase gives every agent the same version of them without moving them anywhere. If you add a registry or change to another one, your agents keep working as before, and nobody has to publish a skill again.
Gives agents the team's history as well as its skills
A code review skill tells an agent how your team reviews a change. It can't tell the agent that the team decided last month to retire an old API. In Markbase that knowledge lives in a shared workspace. Agents read it before they start and write down what they learned when they finish, so each task starts further ahead.
Starts jobs wherever work turns up
A mention or a comment in GitHub, Linear or Slack, an alert, an email, a schedule or a webhook from another service can each start an agent. The job runs on your own machines, with the coding agent you choose, and it starts from the team's context. Tessl runs its jobs in its own cloud.
[ The other choice ]
Where Tessl is the better choice
Choose Tessl if your main need is to test and govern skills across a large organisation, and you are happy to keep them all in one registry. It evaluates every change to a skill and gives enterprises policies for which skills can be used. If skills are all the context your agents need, Tessl does that job well.
