Neighborhood Skill Swap

Difficulty: MID | GoShip Challenge

The Problem

You are paying for things your neighbor could teach you for free. Meanwhile they need help with something you are great at. But you have never even talked.

What to Build

Build a platform where neighbors trade skills instead of money.

Requirements

• Profile with skills you can teach and skills you want to learn
• Browse and search nearby skill offers
• Matching where your teach matches their learn and vice versa
• Request a swap with proposed time and place
• Rating system after completed swaps
• Map view showing skill density in your area

Bonus

• Group sessions (one teacher, multiple learners)
• Skill categories with icons
• Swap history and badges

Quick Start

# Install Claude Code (if you haven't)
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Clone this repo and start building
git clone https://github.com/GoShipTech/skill-swap.git
cd skill-swap
claude

Then tell Claude: "Read the CLAUDE.md and help me build this."

Use any tech stack you want. AI tools encouraged.
