Build something that belongs on Jibo.

Start with a theme. Change the menus, make it your own, and bring it to the Skill Store.

Who this is for: anyone who wants to make something for Jibo, from a first theme to a published Skill Store listing. You need a computer; a Jibo of your own helps for testing.

Get started

What you can make for Jibo today, and working projects to start from.

Themes

Change how Jibo’s menus look: colours, pictures, fonts and layout.

Skills

Native apps for Jibo. The skill guides and starters open with the Jibo software release that supports local test builds.

Publish to the Skill Store

Apply once, submit each version for review, then choose when owners can find it.

Test on your Jibo

Try your work on your own Jibo, and get back to Default at any time.

Reference and API

Exact manifest fields, API versions, limits and the upload contract.

Policies

What you may publish, how to describe it, and the service’s terms.

Support

Where to ask for help, and what to include so someone can answer.

From an idea to the Skill Store

  1. Make it yours. Start from an open theme template and keep the original credits.
  2. Check your work. Validate the manifest and images on your computer, then try the pack on your own Jibo.
  3. Publish when ready. Use your publisher identity, submit the pack for review, then choose when to list it. The publishing guide has every step.

Skills are next

The skill authoring guide and templates will open with the Jibo software release that supports local test builds. Theme publishing is available now. A native skill is not a theme and does not use the theme upload form.
