What it does
Distribution Channels is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to plan product distribution via marketplaces, app stores, or third-party platforms. Also use when the user mentions "distribution channels," "marketplace listing," "app store listing," "Figma plugin," "Chrome extension marketplace," "AWS Marketplace," "Shopify app," "GPTs store," "app distribution," or "third-party marketplace." For channel mix, use integrated-marketing.
Its SKILL.md is about 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 Sales & Support, covering App store release, E-commerce operations and Browser extensions. It works with Amazon Web Services, Figma, Shopify and Chrome Extensions. 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
- Wants to plan product distribution via marketplaces
- Third-party platforms
- The user mentions distribution channels
- Marketplace listing
Example prompts
- “distribution channels,”
- “marketplace listing,”
- “app store listing,”
- “/distribution-channels”
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
Distribution Channels loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: Distribution Channels
Guides product distribution via third-party marketplaces and app stores. Distinct from directory-submission (curated lists, Product Hunt, Taaft)—marketplaces are storefronts where customers discover and purchase apps, plugins, or integrations. Hyperscaler marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP) alone are projected to process $85B+ in software sales by 2028.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Channel Types
| Type | Definition | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Direct | Company sells via own assets | Website, eCommerce, sales team |
| Indirect | Third parties sell on your behalf | Marketplaces, app stores, resellers |
Marketplaces = Digital storefronts where customers discover and buy; often pre-approved budgets (cloud spend), consolidated billing, faster procurement.
Marketplace Categories
| Category | Platforms | Product fit |
|---|---|---|
| Design & collaboration | Figma Community, Canva Apps, Adobe Exchange | Design tools, templates |
| Browser extensions | Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons | Extensions, dev tools |
| Cloud & enterprise | AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace, Azure Marketplace | SaaS, data, infra |
| Mobile | App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store | Mobile apps, cross-platform |
| Vertical | Shopify App Store, Slack App Directory, Salesforce AppExchange, Zoom Marketplace | E-commerce, collaboration, CRM |
| Developer | GitHub Marketplace, WordPress Plugins | Dev tools, integrations |
| AI | GPTs (OpenAI), emerging AI app stores | AI apps, agents |
| Social commerce | Pinterest Product Pins | E-commerce, design tools, templates; Product Schema or Pinterest Catalog |
Pinterest Product Pins: Configure product links; shopping tags; link to site. Requires Product Schema or Pinterest Catalog. See pinterest-posts.

| Trust signals | Verified reviews, partner badges, clear taxonomy |
| Discoverability | Optimize for marketplace search; clear descriptions, tags |
| Co-sell | Partner with platform field teams when available |
Listing as asset: Your marketplace page is both storefront and onboarding tool; prospects validate, customers discover integrations.
Platform Selection by Product Type
| Product type | Prioritize |
|---|---|
| Design / collaboration | Figma, Canva, Adobe |
| Browser extension | Chrome, Firefox |
| Cloud / enterprise SaaS | AWS, GCP, Azure |
| Mobile app | App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store |
| E-commerce | Shopify |
| Collaboration | Slack, Zoom |
