What it does

Podcast Marketing is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to plan, create, or market a podcast. Also use when the user mentions "podcast," "podcast strategy," "podcast SEO," "show notes," "podcast distribution," "Spotify podcast," "Apple Podcasts," "podcast discoverability," "PodcastEpisode schema," or "podcast repurposing." For show notes, use article-content.

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 Media & Creative, covering Podcasting and Content repurposing. It works with Spotify. 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

  • Market a podcast
  • The user mentions podcast
  • Podcast strategy
  • Podcast distribution

Example prompts

  • “podcast,”
  • “podcast strategy,”
  • “podcast SEO,”
  • “/podcast-marketing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Stage: Planning, launching, growing
  2. Format: Interview, solo, co-hosted, narrative
  3. Niche: Target audience, listener personas
  4. Goals: Downloads, authority, lead gen, repurposing

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

Podcast Marketing loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

Content: Podcast

Guides podcast strategy, content creation, distribution, marketing, and SEO. Podcasts compete in a crowded space (3M+ active shows, 500M+ listeners globally); discoverability is the primary challenge. Discovery channels: ~32% search engines, ~28% podcast apps, ~24% social media, ~16% word-of-mouth.

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.

Initial Assessment

Project context: Read root contextus.md when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify:

  1. Stage: Planning, launching, growing
  2. Format: Interview, solo, co-hosted, narrative
  3. Niche: Target audience, listener personas
  4. Goals: Downloads, authority, lead gen, repurposing

Content Strategy

ElementGuideline
Niche focusDefine audience through listener personas; tailored content cuts through noise
Quality over gimmicksSticky, unique, valuable content; most hosts see major growth after 5–6 months of consistency
Episode structureIntro, main content, CTA; consistent format aids retention

Distribution & Discovery

ChannelShareOptimization
Search engines~32%Transcripts, show notes, SEO-optimized titles/descriptions
Podcast apps~28%Title, description, cover art; category selection
Social media~24%Clips, quotes, repurposed content
Word-of-mouth~16%Cross-promotion, guest appearances

Multi-channel: Repurpose across platforms to multiply discovery surface.
