What it does

Listing Distribution is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Gets a product listed where buyers and crawlers look — directories, marketplaces, review sites, comparison pages, and aggregators. Use this to plan a submission push, choose which directories are worth the effort, prepare listing assets, build comparison and alternative pages, or manage presence on review platforms.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and Programmatic SEO. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web scraping
  • Tasks that involve Programmatic SEO

Example prompts

  • “/listing-distribution”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Listing Distribution loads about 834 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 441 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~834
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Listing distribution

Low effort, compounding, and consistently under-done. Also easy to do in a way that wastes weeks.

Choosing where to list

Judge each by whether real buyers use it, not by domain authority. The directories worth the time are the ones your buyers already consult during evaluation.

  • Category review sites — highest value where they exist for your category. Buyers read these during active evaluation.
  • Curated niche directories — moderate traffic, good qualification, usually a real editorial bar.
  • Launch platforms — a spike, not a channel. Worth doing once, with preparation.
  • Bulk submission lists — mostly worthless, and the low-quality end carries real risk. Skip them.

Preparing once, reusing everywhere

Assemble a kit before submitting anywhere: descriptions at several lengths, logo and screenshots at the common sizes, category selections, feature list, pricing summary, and the founder or company details these forms always want. Submissions then take minutes instead of an afternoon each.

Keep the positioning identical across listings. Inconsistent descriptions across directories are both a brand problem and a signal problem.

Review platforms

The listings that most influence buyers. Claim the profile, complete it fully, and keep it current — a stale listing with old pricing costs deals.

Ask for reviews from customers at a success moment, never with an incentive tied to sentiment. Respond to every negative review specifically and without defensiveness; prospects read the responses more carefully than the reviews.

Comparison and alternative pages

Pages targeting "X versus Y" and "alternatives to X" capture buyers already in evaluation, which is the highest-intent traffic available.

Write them honestly. Name where the competitor is genuinely better — a comparison that finds you superior on every axis is not believed, and buyers checking it against their own experience will discount the whole page. Keep them current; a comparison against a competitor's two-year-old feature set is worse than nothing.

Maintaining

Set a periodic sweep: listings drift out of date, and an aggregator showing your old pricing will outrank your own page for some queries.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Never

  • List everywhere available. Directories with no traffic cost maintenance and dilute nothing but your attention.
  • Let listing copy drift from the positioning of record. Every stale listing is a competing description of the product.
  • Solicit reviews only after a customer complains, or only from customers you know are happy. Both distort the signal you are buying.
