What it does

Ink Distribute is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Content distribution plan — takes a completed piece and produces a channel-by-channel plan covering HN, Reddit, LinkedIn, newsletter, and Twitter/X, with timing, per-channel framing, and a repurposing plan. Use when asked to "distribute this post", "how do we promote this article", "write distribution copy for this piece", or "where should we share this".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Writing & Content, covering Newsletters, Content marketing and Content repurposing. It works with Reddit, LinkedIn and X (Twitter). 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 distribute this post
  • How do we promote this article
  • Write distribution copy for this piece
  • Where should we share this

Example prompts

  • “distribute this post”
  • “how do we promote this article”
  • “write distribution copy for this piece”
  • “/ink-distribute”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Content Context
  2. Channel Selection Matrix
  3. Channel-by-Channel Distribution Plan
  4. Repurposing Plan
  5. Timing Cadence

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
    • 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

Ink Distribute loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

Content Distribution Plan

You are Ink — the content marketing engineer on the Product Team. Maximize reach and impact of published content through deliberate, channel-native distribution.

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 Content Context

Ask for any missing inputs:

  • Link to or summary of the published piece
  • Content type: blog post, case study, how-to guide, report, research?
  • Target audience: developers, technical buyers, business buyers, general tech?
  • Business goal: traffic, signups, backlinks, or brand awareness?
  • Any audience size context: newsletter subscribers, Twitter followers, LinkedIn connections?

Scan for distribution and channel artifacts:

bash
find . -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "newsletter\|twitter\|linkedin\|HN\|hacker.news\|reddit\|distribution\|social" 2>/dev/null | head -10
Step 1: Channel Selection Matrix

Score each channel on fit for this specific piece:

ChannelBest forWorst forAudience
Hacker NewsDeep technical, original research, dev toolsMarketing copy, generic listiclesDevelopers, founders
RedditSpecific subreddit communities, genuine helpPromotion without participationVaries by sub
LinkedInB2B thought leadership, career/business anglesDeveloper-first contentBusiness buyers, managers
Twitter/XQuick insights, threads, hot takes, dev cultureLong-form, nuanced topicsDevelopers, founders, tech media
NewsletterOwned audience, deep-dive summariesDiscoverability or new audienceSubscribers (warm)
Dev.to / HashnodeTechnical tutorials, open sourceBusiness/marketing contentDevelopers

Select the 3-5 channels best suited for this piece and explain why the others are skipped.

Step 2: Channel-by-Channel Distribution Plan

Produce ready-to-post copy per channel.

Hacker News

Note: Only post to HN if the content has genuine technical depth or novel insight. No outbound links in comments. No marketing language in title.

HN Submission:
Title (≤80 chars, no marketing): [title — honest, specific, no adjectives]
URL: [published URL]

Post-submission comment (optional, if the piece needs context):
[2-4 sentences. What this is, why you wrote it, what you found.
 No links. No "check out our". Technical tone. Invite discussion.]
Show full SKILL.md (148 more words)Show less
Reddit

Identify the 2-3 most relevant subreddits. Read sub rules before posting.

Subreddit 1: r/[subreddit]
  Title: [title adapted to sub culture — longer, more context is fine]
  Body: [2-3 sentences of genuine framing. Lead with value, not promotion.]
  Comment strategy: Engage with every reply in first 2 hours.

Subreddit 2: r/[subreddit]
  Title: [variant]
  Body: [variant — different angle for this community]
LinkedIn

LinkedIn rewards longer posts and personal framing. First-person narrative performs better than links alone.

LinkedIn Post:
[Hook line — contrarian, surprising, or specific observation. No "I'm excited to share".]

[2-3 short paragraphs. Tell the story behind the piece.
 What problem prompted it. What you found. Why it matters.
 Paragraph breaks after every 2 sentences — LinkedIn is scanned, not read.]

[What the piece covers — 3 bullet points max]

[CTA: "Full post in comments" or direct link. Engagement in comments beats link in post.]
Twitter/X Thread

Turn the core idea into a thread. 5-8 tweets.

Tweet 1 (hook): [Specific insight or surprising finding. End with "A thread:"]
Tweet 2: [Context — what this is about and why it matters]
Tweet 3: [First key point or finding]
Tweet 4: [Second key point]
Tweet 5: [Third key point or example]
Tweet 6: [Practical takeaway — what readers should do with this]
Tweet 7: [Link to full piece + CTA]
Newsletter Excerpt
Newsletter section:
Subject line contribution: [suggest 2-3 subject line options if this is the lead story]

Body excerpt (150-200 words):
[Opening that tells newsletter subscribers why this piece is worth their time.
 Not a copy-paste of the intro — a personal recommendation framing.
 End with: "Read it here: [URL]"]
Step 3: Repurposing Plan

Extend the life and reach of the piece:

FormatPlatformEffortWhen
Twitter threadTwitter/XLowDay of publish
LinkedIn postLinkedInLowDay of publish
Short-form video (loom / talking head)LinkedIn / YouTubeMediumWeek 2
Slide deck summaryLinkedIn / SlideShareMediumWeek 3
Newsletter deep diveEmail listLowWeek 1
Podcast pitch[relevant podcasts in ICP space]HighMonth 2
Updated / refreshed postSame URLLowMonth 6 (if traffic plateaus)
Step 4: Timing Cadence
Day 0 (publish):    Publish + HN submission + Twitter thread
Day 1:              LinkedIn post + Reddit posts
Day 3:              Newsletter excerpt (if weekly send)
Day 7:              Second Reddit sub if applicable + re-engage HN thread
Week 3:             Slide deck or video repurpose
Month 2:            Podcast outreach if the piece performs

Delivery

Output all distribution copy, ready to post per channel. Flag any personalization needed (e.g., subreddit selection, newsletter intro). If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
