Windy Drops is live.
Five official dashboards. One shared protocol. A path for others to add more.
Today we're launching Windy Drops — the open marketplace for the Windy ecosystem. Drops are bite-sized things you can add to your Windy apps: dashboards, skills, tools, themes. The first surface is the Control Panel inside Windy Word, and there are five dashboards you can use right now.
What's in the catalog today
Echo HQ
The cyberpunk-vitals dashboard. Big sparklines, dense fleet grid, the whole "kit army" feel. Ships built-in with Windy Word so it works offline from day one.
See it on the marketplace →Glance
Echo HQ's quieter sibling. Soft pastels, generous whitespace, no charts. Four big numbers + a status line that says "All quiet" or "Computer's hot". Same data, different temperament.
See it on the marketplace →Roster
Your agent fleet front and centre — who's online, who's quiet. The one to pick when you care more about your agents than about the machine they run on.
See it on the marketplace →Pulse
One word, one glance — is your computer okay? The whole dashboard reduced to a single answer, for people who do not want a dashboard.
See it on the marketplace →Terminal
Your machine as a monochrome TTY — htop energy, zero chrome. For the people who were always going to pick this one.
See it on the marketplace →How to use it
If you have Windy Word installed, open it and look for the pulsing 🖥️ Panel tile. Click it — that opens the Control Panel. Echo HQ is there waiting. To try Glance, click + Get more drops in the top-right and tap Install. Switch between them from the drop selector in the top-left.
No browser, no JWT, no terminal, no GitHub account.

If you build software
Windy Drops is built on an open format: the drop spec is a windy.drop.v1 JSON Schema, and a drop is just a folder with a SKILL.md manifest, packed into a reproducible zip.
The TypeScript CLI went public on 10 August:
npm install -g windy-drops-sdk
windy-drops new my-dashboard --type control-panel-template
windy-drops validate ./my-dashboard
windy-drops publish ./my-dashboard
You can also fork one of the official drops as a starting point — windy-drops fork windy-glance my-handle-my-glance. Publishing needs a Windy account and an Eternitas passport; the same login you already use for Windy Word works here.
The Python SDK is the same CLI and produces byte-identical bundles, but it is not on PyPI yet.
What's next
- More drop types. v1 ships with control-panel dashboards working end-to-end. Skills (agent tools), themes, voice-packs, and workflows are spec-reserved + will go live as their consumer surfaces ship.
- More surfaces. A trending tab in Windy Chat, a Windy Mind persona picker, and more places where a drop can land.
- Paid drops + tips. Tip jars are built — creators will connect Stripe to receive them — but they are not switched on yet, and no drop can accept a tip today. Paid drops land in v1.1.
- AI-assisted authoring.
windy-drops new --aivia Windy Mind. v1.1.
Built by Kit Army Windstorm. Drops are MIT-licensed and the format is open by design. Every drop in the catalogue is ours so far — the first outside drop has not been published yet.
