What it does

Ph Community Outreach is an agent skill from manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin. Engage Reddit, Indie Hackers, Hacker News and other communities for Product Hunt launches. Use this skill to identify relevant communities, craft appropriate posts, and drive cross-platform engagement without appearing spammy.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 Product launch strategy. It works with Reddit. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Identify relevant communities
  • Craft appropriate posts
  • Drive cross-platform engagement without appearing spammy

Example prompts

  • “/ph-community-outreach”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Join relevant subreddits
  2. Comment helpfully on 10-20 posts
  3. Build karma organically
  4. Observe what content works

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0830a46. 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

Ph Community Outreach loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 701 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

Product Hunt Community Outreach

Workspace Context

Read bootstrap context before asking questions: strategy/brand.md for brand, audience, offer, channels, tools, constraints, and metrics; about/me.md for personal voice; content/ideas.md and content/calendar.md for content planning. Use legacy product-marketing context files only as fallback. Save generated drafts to content/<platform>/drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md, and route durable learnings back to strategy/brand.md, about/me.md, or content/ideas.md.

Operating Contract

This skill is self-contained for its frontmatter scope: use its local instructions, references, scripts, and assets as the playbook; ask only for missing task-specific inputs; hand off to adjacent skills instead of expanding scope; and return an actionable artifact, decision, plan, draft, or diagnostic.

This skill helps you leverage online communities to amplify your Product Hunt launch while maintaining authenticity and following community guidelines.

When to Use This Skill

  • Share learnings, not just links
  • Answer questions in your domain
  • Help others with their launches
  • Make posts interesting standalone
Rule 3: Follow Each Community's Rules

  • Check if self-promotion is allowed
  • Note any format requirements
  • Respect moderators
