What it does
Daily Product Digest is an agent skill from shawnpang/startup-founder-skills. When the user wants a summary of what's trending on Product Hunt, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, or other product/startup communities. Also use when the user mentions "what launched today", "trending products", "HN front page", or "keep up with the market".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 repository describes itself as: AI agent skills for tech startup founders — fundraising, sales, product, recruiting, engineering, legal, ops, and growth. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any Agent… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Wants a summary of whats trending on Product Hunt
- Other product/startup communities
- The user mentions what launched today
- Trending products
Example prompts
- “what launched today”
- “trending products”
- “HN front page”
- “/daily-product-digest”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define monitoring scope — based on startup-context, identify
- Scan sources — check each platform for the specified time period
- Filter for relevance — from everything found, flag items that are
- Analyze what's working — for top-performing launches/posts, note
- Generate the digest — produce a concise, actionable summary.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ad31b4. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Daily Product Digest loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 574 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.

Daily Product Digest
When to Use
- Founder wants a daily or weekly summary of what's happening in the startup/product ecosystem
- Founder wants to track competitor launches and market trends
- Founder wants to identify products launching in their space or adjacent spaces
- Founder wants launch inspiration or to study what's getting traction
- Founder wants to spot emerging trends, tools, or technologies relevant to their market
Context Required
- Founder's product category and market (to filter for relevance)
- Sources to monitor (Product Hunt, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, Reddit, etc.)
- Frequency (daily, weekly, or on-demand)
- What they care about most (competitor activity, market trends, launch tactics, technology shifts)
Workflow
- Define monitoring scope — based on startup-context, identify:
- Keywords and categories to track (e.g., "developer tools", "AI", "fintech")
- Direct competitors to watch for
- Adjacent markets that could expand into your space
- Scan sources — check each platform for the specified time period:
- Product Hunt: top launches, upvote counts, maker comments, notable hunters
- Hacker News: front page stories, Show HN posts, Ask HN threads, comment sentiment
- Indie Hackers: new launches, revenue milestones, popular discussions
- Reddit: relevant subreddit activity (r/SaaS, r/startups, r/[your-niche])
- Filter for relevance — from everything found, flag items that are:
- Direct competitors or alternatives to the founder's product
- In the same category or solving adjacent problems
- Demonstrating a trend or shift relevant to the founder's market
- Using interesting launch tactics worth studying
- Analyze what's working — for top-performing launches/posts, note:
- What made it resonate (positioning, timing, problem framing)
- Community reaction and sentiment
- Potential implications for the founder's product or market
- Generate the digest — produce a concise, actionable summary.

Frameworks & Best Practices
Source-specific signals:
| Source | What to watch | Signal of quality |
|---|---|---|
| Product Hunt | Top 5 daily launches | 500+ upvotes, maker engagement in comments |
| Hacker News | Front page, Show HN | 100+ points, substantive comment threads |
| Indie Hackers | Product launches, milestones | Revenue numbers shared, detailed build stories |
| Niche subreddits | High comment-to-upvote ratio, genuine discussion |
What makes a digest useful:
- Ruthless filtering — a 20-item list is noise. Pick 3-5 items that actually matter to this founder's situation.
- "So what?" for each item — don't just report what launched. Explain why the founder should care.
- Actionable takeaways — end each item with what the founder could do (watch this competitor, study this tactic, consider this positioning angle).
- Pattern recognition — after doing this regularly, highlight emerging patterns ("third AI coding tool this week targeting enterprise — market is heating up").
Common mistakes:
- Reporting everything instead of filtering for relevance
- Missing the comments/discussion (often more valuable than the launch itself)
- Treating all sources equally (HN comments are gold for developer sentiment; PH upvotes can be gamed)
- Not connecting findings to the founder's own strategy

Examples
Prompt: "What launched on Product Hunt and Hacker News today that's relevant to my API monitoring startup?"
Good output includes: Filtered digest of today's launches related to APIs, monitoring, observability, or developer tools. For each relevant item: what it does, how it performed, community reaction, and whether it's a competitor or adjacent product.
Prompt: "Give me a weekly roundup of what's happening in the AI coding tools space."
Good output includes: Summary of AI coding launches/updates across PH, HN, and Reddit from the past week, trend analysis (what themes keep recurring), competitor moves, and 2-3 tactical observations the founder can act on.
