Open Source Marketing

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Wants to market an open source project authentically
• Phrases include open source marketing
• GitHub marketing
• Promote my library

Example prompts

• “open source marketing,”
• “OSS marketing,”
• “GitHub marketing,”
• “/open-source-marketing”

Requirements

• Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • github.com
  • conventionalcommits.org

  Also links to:

  • octolens.com

  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

Open Source Marketing loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,035 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~71

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~3.2k

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

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.
