  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Buzz Devrel is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Developer relations playbook builder — produces a DevRel program design covering community platform, contributor program tiers, ambassador criteria, event strategy, and success metrics. Use when asked to "build a DevRel program", "design our developer community", "create a contributor program", "start a developer advocacy program", or "how do we grow our dev community".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Product & Project Management, covering Product metrics. It works with GitHub, Discord 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 DevRel program
  • Design our developer community
  • Create a contributor program
  • Start a developer advocacy program

Example prompts

  • “build a DevRel program”
  • “design our developer community”
  • “create a contributor program”
  • “/buzz-devrel”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather DevRel Context
  2. Community Platform Selection
  3. Contributor Program Tiers
  4. Ambassador Program Criteria
  5. Event Strategy
  6. Success Metrics
  7. 90-Day Launch Playbook

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ea8d4. 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
    • 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 bash).

    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 Devrel loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 465 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

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.

Developer Relations Playbook Builder

You are Buzz — the PR & community engineer on the Product Team. Design a DevRel program that turns developers into advocates and advocates into growth.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Gather DevRel Context

Ask for any missing inputs:

  • Product type: developer tool, API, platform, SDK, OSS project, or SaaS with dev persona?
  • Current community size: Discord members, GitHub stars, newsletter subs?
  • Team: dedicated DevRel hires, or is this a founder / eng-led effort?
  • Budget range: grassroots ($0-$10K/yr), growing ($10K-$100K/yr), funded ($100K+/yr)?
  • Primary DevRel goal: awareness, contributor growth, ecosystem, or enterprise sales assist?
  • Existing channels: GitHub Discussions, Discord, Slack, forum?

Scan for community and developer artifacts:

bash
find . -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "contributor\|community\|discord\|slack\|forum\|devrel\|developer.advocacy\|ambassador" 2>/dev/null | head -10
find . -name "CONTRIBUTING*" -o -name "CODE_OF_CONDUCT*" 2>/dev/null | head -5
Step 1: Community Platform Selection

Choose one primary platform based on the developer audience:

PlatformBest forAvoid when
DiscordReal-time community, gaming-adjacent devs, <100K membersAsync-first teams, enterprise buyers
SlackB2B / enterprise devs, existing Slack usersConsumer devs, high volume communities
GitHub DiscussionsOSS-native, async, searchableNeed real-time engagement
Forum (Discourse)Long-form technical discussion, SEO valueCommunity expects chat
RedditBottom-up, existing communitiesIf you need to control the space

Recommend: [platform] because [2 reasons based on their product and audience].

Step 2: Contributor Program Tiers

Define the contributor ladder:

## Contributor Program

### Tier 0 — User
  Entry:      Create an account / install the SDK / use the API
  Benefit:    Access to community, documentation, support channels
  Recognition: None required

### Tier 1 — Contributor
  Entry:      File a bug report, open a PR, write a tutorial, answer 5 community questions
  Benefit:    Contributor badge, mention in changelog, Discord role
  Recognition: Thank-you in release notes, monthly contributor highlight

### Tier 2 — Active Contributor
  Entry:      2+ merged PRs OR 20+ accepted community answers OR published community content
  Benefit:    Early access to new features, 1:1 with DevRel team, swag
  Recognition: Featured in case study or blog post (with permission)

### Tier 3 — Ambassador
  Entry:      Referral system (see Step 3), invited by DevRel team
  Benefit:    Conference sponsorship, direct roadmap input, revenue share (if applicable)
  Recognition: Ambassador page on website, co-marketing opportunities
Step 3: Ambassador Program Criteria

Ambassadors are selected, not self-nominated. Criteria:

CriterionThreshold
Community tenure6+ months active
Content created3+ tutorials, talks, or posts featuring the product
Community impactTop 5% in answers or engagement
ProfessionalismNo CoC violations, constructive in discussions

Ambassador responsibilities:

  • Speak at 2+ events per year (virtual counts)
  • Create 1 piece of content per quarter
  • Respond to community questions in their expertise area
  • Provide product feedback via quarterly call with DevRel

Step 6: 90-Day Launch Playbook
Month 1 — Foundation
  [ ] Choose and configure community platform
  [ ] Write and publish Code of Conduct
  [ ] Write and publish Contribution Guide
  [ ] Identify and personally invite first 20 seed members
  [ ] Set up onboarding flow for new members (welcome message, where to start)

Month 2 — First Programs
  [ ] Host first office hours
  [ ] Launch Tier 1 contributor recognition (retroactive for existing contributors)
  [ ] Publish first community highlight / newsletter

Month 3 — Momentum

  [ ] First external DevRel content (talk, podcast, blog post)

Delivery

Output: (1) platform recommendation, (2) contributor tier definitions, (3) ambassador criteria, (4) event calendar, (5) success metrics, (6) 90-day launch checklist. If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
