What it does

Product Hunt Scraper is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Scrape Product Hunt trending products using Apify. Use when you need to discover new product launches, track competitors on Product Hunt, or monitor the startup ecosystem for relevant launches.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/scrape_producthunt.py` and `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Web scraping and Product launch strategy. It works with Apify. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to discover new product launches
  • Track competitors on Product Hunt
  • Monitor the startup ecosystem for relevant launches

Example prompts

  • “/product-hunt-scraper”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in APIFY_API_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APIFY_API_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Product Hunt Scraper loads about 421 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 111 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~421

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
