What it does

Launch Post is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a developer-audience launch post — Show HN, a Product Hunt blurb, a 'we shipped X' dev blog intro, or a launch tweet thread. Use when launching a tool, library, API, or open-source project to a technical audience. Produces a credible, hype-free post that leads with what it does and why it's different, plus title options and a comment-ready first reply.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 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 Social media posts and Product launch strategy. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Launching a tool
  • Open-source project to a technical audience

Example prompts

  • “we shipped X”
  • “/launch-post”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Launch Post loads about 828 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 427 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
~828

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.

Write a developer-audience launch post — Show HN, a Product Hunt blurb, a 'we shipped X' dev blog intro, or a launch tweet thread. Use when launching a tool, library, API, or open-source project to a technical audience.

Launch Post Skill

Developers smell marketing from a mile away. A launch post that lands with them is concrete, honest about trade-offs, and leads with what it does and why you built it — not adjectives. This skill writes that post (Show HN, Product Hunt, dev blog, or a tweet thread), tuned to the channel, with title options and a strong first comment to seed the discussion.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • What you built — the tool/library/API, in one plain sentence.
  • The problem & why now — what was painful before; why you made it.
  • What's different — how it compares to the obvious alternatives (honestly).
  • Proof — a code snippet, benchmark, demo link, repo, or "how it works" detail.
  • Channel & ask — Show HN / Product Hunt / blog / X thread, and what you want (feedback, stars, signups).

Output Format

[Channel] launch post

Title options (3) — concrete and specific; for Show HN follow the Show HN: [Name] – [what it does] form. No hype words.

The post

  • Opening (1–2 lines): what it is and the problem it solves — no preamble.
  • Why we built it: the honest origin / the gap in existing tools.
  • How it works / what's different: the technical substance — a snippet or concrete detail beats claims.
  • Honest limits: what it doesn't do yet, known trade-offs. (This builds credibility with devs.)
  • The ask: try it / feedback / repo link — one clear next step.

First comment (seed) — a ready-to-post reply adding technical context or answering the obvious first question, to kick off discussion.

Channel notes — tweaks for the chosen channel (HN: no marketing tone, be in the thread to reply; PH: tagline + first comment; X: thread hook + cadence).

Show full SKILL.md (153 more words)Show less

Quality Checks

  • Leads with what it does and the problem — not "excited to announce"
  • Includes concrete proof (snippet, benchmark, demo, or how-it-works detail)
  • Honestly states limits/trade-offs — credibility, not spin
  • Title options are specific and channel-appropriate (e.g. correct Show HN format)
  • One clear ask, and a first comment ready to seed the thread

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not use marketing hype ("revolutionary", "game-changing") — devs downvote it
  • Do not hide limitations — naming them earns trust and pre-empts the top comment
  • Do not bury the what-it-does under backstory — lead with substance
  • Do not make claims without proof — show the code/benchmark/demo
  • Do not write a generic post — tune tone and format to the actual channel

Based On

Developer-launch craft (Show HN / Product Hunt norms): substance over hype, honest trade-offs, seed the discussion.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a Show HN post."
  • "Write our Product Hunt blurb."
  • "Write a launch tweet thread for this library."
  • "Announce our open-source project to developers."
