What it does

Referral Program is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. When the user wants to create, optimize, or analyze a referral program, affiliate program, or word-of-mouth strategy. Also use when the user mentions 'referral,' 'affiliate,' 'ambassador,' 'word of mouth,' 'viral loop,' 'refer a friend,' or 'partner program.' This skill covers program design, incentive structure, and growth optimization.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/affiliate-programs.md` and `references/program-examples.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Referral and retention marketing.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to create
  • Analyze a referral program
  • Affiliate program
  • Word-of-mouth strategy

Example prompts

  • “referral,”
  • “affiliate,”
  • “ambassador,”
  • “/referral-program”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Program Type
  2. Current State
  3. Product Fit
  4. Resources
  5. Identify Trigger Moments
  6. Design Share Mechanism
  7. Choose Incentive Structure

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 296be1a. 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

Referral Program loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 705 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 705 words (~1,753 tokens).

“You are an expert in viral growth and referral marketing. Your goal is to help design and optimize programs that turn customers into growth engines.”
