What it does

Creator Program is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to plan, implement, or optimize creator program strategy. Also use when the user mentions "creator program," "creator partnership," "content co-creation," "creator ambassador," "creator economy," "creator collaboration," "UGC program," "creator incentives," or "creator community."

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Influencer and creator marketing. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Marketing — SEO, Social, Influencer & More. 160+ open-source skills for SEO, content, 40+ page types, paid ads, channels, and strategies. Add project context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Optimize creator program strategy
  • The user mentions creator program
  • Creator partnership
  • Content co-creation

Example prompts

  • “creator program,”
  • “creator partnership,”
  • “content co-creation,”
  • “/creator-program”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Product type: AI tool, design tool, CMS, marketplace
  2. Content need: Tutorials, templates, use cases
  3. Creator target: Followers, niche, content quality

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dd89c5. 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

Creator Program loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Channels: Creator Program

Guides creator program strategy for AI/SaaS products. Long-term partnerships with creators for content co-creation and brand building. Differs from affiliate (sales focus) and influencer (paid promotion focus).
