What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. 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 Growth loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 545 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.

Why This Skill Is Needed
Great content is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. There are 5 million+ podcasts worldwide. If it isn't discovered, it might as well not exist.
Platform-Specific Metadata Optimization
Apple Podcasts
| Field | Optimization Rule | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Primary keyword at the front (under 40 chars) | Search algorithm prioritizes front-loaded indexing |
| Subtitle | Secondary keywords not in the title (under 60 chars) | Expands search reach; duplication is penalized |
| Description | Core value + listener benefit in first 2 sentences | Only 160 chars shown in preview |
| Episode Title | Avoid "Episode N:" format | Explicitly discouraged by Apple |
| Category | 1 main + 2 sub-categories | Enables simultaneous exposure on 3 charts |
Spotify
| Field | Optimization Rule | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Episode Description | Timestamps + 3–5 natural keyword insertions | Internal search optimization |
| Chapter Markers | Set chapters per segment | Partial play → full play conversion up 30% |
| Video Format | Upload as video even with a static image | Video podcast algorithm gets priority exposure |
YouTube Podcasts
| Field | Optimization Rule | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Thumbnail | Face close-up + 3 words or less text | CTR optimization basics |
| Title | Front-load keywords + emotionally evocative words | Search + recommendation algorithm |
| Description | Core info in first 3 lines + timestamps + related links | Watch time and channel circulation |
Episode Promotional Calendar: 7-Day Plan
| D-day | Channel | Content | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-3 | Instagram Stories / X | 15-sec teaser clip + "coming soon" | Build anticipation |
| D-1 | Newsletter | Preview + exclusive behind-the-scenes | Notify core fans early |
| D-Day | All social media | Episode release + 3 quote cards | Maximum reach |
| D+1 | X (Twitter) | Key insight thread (5–8 tweets) | Viral amplification |
| D+2 | Reels / TikTok | Most entertaining 30-sec clip | Short-form → full episode conversion |
| D+3 | Professional insight summary + CTA | B2B listener acquisition | |
| D+5 | Community | Episode-related questions, discussion prompts | Community activation |

Promotional Copy Framework: The HIKE Formula
| Stage | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Hook | A first line that stops the scroll | "AI isn't replacing your job. Something scarier is happening." |
| Insight | A discovery you can only get from this episode | "3 facts revealed in this episode could shake the industry" |
| Key moment | One standout moment | "The moment the guest said 'I failed 3 times too'..." |
| Engage | Listening prompt + engagement request | "Listen to the full episode and share your thoughts [link]" |
HIKE Variations by Platform
| Platform | Hook Style | Length | CTA |
|---|---|---|---|
| X/Twitter | Numbers or contrast | 280 chars + thread | "Retweet and listen" |
| Emotional question | 150-char caption + carousel | "Link in bio to listen" | |
| Professional problem statement | 3–4 paragraphs (1,300 chars) | "Podcast link in first comment" | |
| TikTok | Shock/humor | 30-sec video with captions | "Full episode link in bio" |
Cross-Promotion Strategies
Guest Leverage
- Provide the guest with a ready-to-share kit: 3 quote cards + 2 recommended copy variants + link
- Tag the guest in posts within 24 hours of episode release
- Request the guest mention the episode in their own content (newsletter, blog)
Podcast Network
- Episode swaps with similar-topic podcasts: Recommend each other in respective episodes
- Joint episodes: Two podcasts cover the same topic from their own angles
- Promo swaps: Insert 30-second ads in each other's episodes
Listener Growth Metrics
| Metric | Healthy Range | Warning Level |
|---|---|---|
| Download Growth Rate | 10%+ per month | Below 0% for 3 consecutive months |
| Episode Completion Rate | 60%+ | Below 40% |
| Subscription Conversion Rate | 5%+ | Below 1% |
| Social → Podcast Conversion | 2–5% | Below 0.5% |
