What it does

Build In Public Launcher is an agent skill from FAIRY123456789/human-edge-agent-skills. Turn a finished or nearly finished Skill, plugin, repository, micro-tool, research utility, or AI project into a credible public launch that can earn real users and feedback. Use when the work exists but nobody outside the creator has tried it, the README is weak, the launch has no demo or proof metric, or the user wants a GitHub-first build-in-public plan without fake traction or vanity metrics.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md` and `references/launch-pack.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: 18 portable Agent Skills for voice-native AI, human judgment, microbets, social tact, writing, life systems, and safe deployment. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The work exists but nobody outside the creator has tried it
  • The README is weak
  • The launch has no demo
  • The user wants a GitHub-first build-in-public plan without fake traction

Example prompts

  • “/build-in-public-launcher”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define the exact user and painful moment the artifact addresses.
  2. Audit whether the artifact is actually ready for a stranger: installation, first-run path, example input, example output, license, privacy…
  3. Write a one-line value proposition that names the job, not the technology stack.
  4. Build a launch pack using references/launch-pack.md.
  5. Create one comparison or task-completion demo. Do not cherry-pick an impossible-to-reproduce showcase.
  6. Choose one primary proof metric and one secondary distribution metric.
  7. Recruit the first testers from existing communities, peers, contributors, or target-user groups. Prefer 10 relevant people over 1,000…
  8. Ask testers to perform a task before explaining the solution. Capture confusion and failure.
  9. Publish a changelog entry after each evidence-driven revision.
  10. Promote measured adoption only after it exists. Never invent stars, users, installs, revenue, benchmarks, or testimonials.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 31a0a16. 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

Build In Public Launcher loads about 708 tokens when it runs, and up to ~905 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~708
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~905

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.

Build in Public Launcher

Purpose

Launch for evidence, not applause. This Skill turns a finished artifact into a bounded release and feedback loop without inventing adoption.

Instructions

  1. Define the exact user and painful moment the artifact addresses.
  2. Audit whether the artifact is actually ready for a stranger: installation, first-run path, example input, example output, license, privacy and security notes, and failure handling.
  3. Write a one-line value proposition that names the job, not the technology stack.
  4. Build a launch pack using references/launch-pack.md.
  5. Create one comparison or task-completion demo. Do not cherry-pick an impossible-to-reproduce showcase.
  6. Choose one primary proof metric and one secondary distribution metric.
  7. Recruit the first testers from existing communities, peers, contributors, or target-user groups. Prefer 10 relevant people over 1,000 generic impressions.
  8. Ask testers to perform a task before explaining the solution. Capture confusion and failure.
  9. Publish a changelog entry after each evidence-driven revision.
  10. Promote measured adoption only after it exists. Never invent stars, users, installs, revenue, benchmarks, or testimonials.

Default launch horizon

Use a 7-day launch loop:

  • Day 1: packaging and smoke test
  • Day 2: private testers
  • Day 3–4: fix onboarding and failure cases
  • Day 5: public release
  • Day 6–7: collect issues, repeat use, and outcome evidence

Output

Return a release-ready checklist, README hero copy, demo plan, tester plan, proof metrics, and 7-day launch schedule.

Examples

  • Input: a working repository with no external users and a confusing README.
  • Output: a reproducible demo, a first-tester plan, one utility metric, and explicit stop or iterate criteria.

Limitations

Do not claim market demand, compatibility, or traction that has not been observed. Publishing, messaging testers, and changing external accounts require the user's explicit authorization.

Troubleshooting

If no credible metric exists, choose successful task completion or tester confusion as the first measurement. If strangers cannot install the artifact, return to packaging before writing launch copy.
