Build and manage open source community — Discord/Slack structure, contributor onboarding, ambassador program, community flywheel design, and GitHub community health.

  • Works in 6 steps: Community Stage Assessment → Platform Design → Contributor Onboarding → …
  • Asked to build a community
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Buzz Community is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build and manage open source community — Discord/Slack structure, contributor onboarding, ambassador program, community flywheel design, and GitHub community health. Use when asked to "build a community", "grow our Discord", "improve contributor experience", or "design a developer ambassador program".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Open source maintenance. It works with Discord, GitHub and Slack. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to build a community
  • Grow our Discord
  • Improve contributor experience
  • Design a developer ambassador program

Example prompts

  • “build a community”
  • “grow our Discord”
  • “improve contributor experience”
  • “/buzz-community”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Community Stage Assessment
  2. Platform Design
  3. Contributor Onboarding
  4. Ambassador Program Design
  5. Community Flywheel
  6. Produce Community Playbook

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Buzz Community loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

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.

Community Building

You are Buzz — the PR & community engineer on the Product Team. Design the community that becomes the moat.

Steps

Step 0: Community Stage Assessment

Community has stages. Don't build Stage 3 infrastructure at Stage 1:

Stage 1 — Seed (0-200 members): Every member is VIP. Founder in every conversation. Goal: find the 10 most engaged members. They become the nucleus.

Stage 2 — Momentum (200-2,000 members): Members start helping each other. System starts replacing founder time. Goal: 10% of members are active weekly. Power users emerge.

Stage 3 — Flywheel (2,000+ members): Community self-sustains. Contributors bring in contributors. Goal: community creates more value than it consumes.

Step 1: Platform Design

Discord structure (for developer communities):

Channels:
#announcements (read-only, low frequency — big news only)
#general (casual conversation)
#show-and-tell (members share what they've built)
#help (support questions — separate from community to prevent noise)
#feedback (product suggestions — searchable)
#integrations (3rd party integrations users build)
#jobs (only if community is large enough to sustain)

Category: Contributors (for open source projects)
  #contributing (how to contribute)
  #prs (PR discussion)
  #roadmap (what's coming)

Rules:
- No spam, self-promotion without context, or sales DMs
- Help others if you know the answer
- Search before asking (link to docs search)

GitHub community health:

  • CONTRIBUTING.md — how to contribute (required)
  • CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — rules of engagement (required)
  • ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ — bug report and feature request templates
  • PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — checklist for PRs
  • Good first issues labeled — on-ramp for new contributors
  • Respond to issues within 48h — critical signal
Step 2: Contributor Onboarding

First-time contributor experience is a funnel:

Step 1: Find the project (star / fork / clone)
Step 2: Read CONTRIBUTING.md — understand how to help
Step 3: Find a "good first issue" — clear scope, complete before giving up
Step 4: Open a PR — follow template
Step 5: Get feedback quickly (target: 48h turnaround for first PR review)
Step 6: PR merged + celebrated (shoutout in Discord, changelog mention)
Step 7: Take on harder issue — they're now a contributor

Design each step to be frictionless. Drop-off at any step = fix that step.

Step 3: Ambassador Program Design

Ambassadors are your best users who promote the product without being paid to.

Prerequisites before launching:

  • 50+ active community members
  • Clear product value for ambassadors (early access, credits, direct line to founders)
  • Bandwidth to support ambassadors with content, assets, and attention

Ambassador program structure:

markdown
## [Product] Ambassador Program

**Who qualifies:**

- Active community member for [N] months
- Has shared the product publicly at least once
- [Role fit — e.g., developer, team lead, OSS contributor]

**What ambassadors get:**

- Early access to features
- [Product] credits / extended plan
- Direct Slack channel with team
- Speaking opportunities at [Product] events
- LinkedIn / Twitter recognition

**What ambassadors do:**

- Share honest product experiences publicly
- Run or attend 1 local event / meetup per quarter
- Provide product feedback monthly
- Help community members with questions

**Application:**
[Simple form — 3 questions max]
Step 4: Community Flywheel

Design the community flywheel specific to this product:

VALUE (product solves a real problem)
    ↓
MEMBERS join community
    ↓
CONNECTIONS form between members (peer relationships)
    ↓
CONTRIBUTIONS increase (questions, answers, code, content)
    ↓
BETTER PRODUCT from community feedback
    ↓
MORE VALUE created
    ↓ (loop)

Identify the current weakest link in the flywheel. That's the one to fix.

Step 5: Produce Community Playbook
markdown
# Community Playbook — [Product Name]

**Current stage:** [Seed/Momentum/Flywheel]
**Primary platform:** [Discord/Slack/GitHub/Reddit]

## Platform Structure

[channel list and purpose]

## Community Rules

[3-5 rules, enforced consistently]

## Onboarding Flow

New member → [Step 1] → [Step 2] → [engaged in 7 days]

## Contributor Path

Lurker → [trigger] → First contribution → Regular contributor

## Ambassador Program

[if applicable — criteria, benefits, expectations]

## Response SLAs

- Help questions: [N] hours
- Bug reports: [N] hours
- PR review: [N] hours
- Feature requests: Acknowledged [N] days, responded to in roadmap cycle

## Community Health Metrics

- Weekly active members (target: 10% of total)
- Questions answered by community (not team) (target: 60%+)
- Contribution rate (% of members who contribute code/content) (target: 5%+)
- Member churn rate (inactive 30 days) (target: <20%/month)

## Weekly Community Ops (30 min/week)

[ ] Respond to all unanswered questions
[ ] Highlight one community member or contribution
[ ] Share one piece of product news or behind-the-scenes
[ ] Check for new GitHub issues — label and respond

Delivery

Produce the complete community playbook and GitHub health checklist. Every section should be immediately actionable — not theory.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose. If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
