Designs partner, affiliate and integration programs, from recruiting the first partners to tuning commissions, for founders and go-to-market leads.

  • Works in 4 steps: Co-Creation vs. Traditional Partner Models → Partner Program Tiers and Compensation → Affiliate Program Design and Tooling → …
  • Launching an affiliate or referral program for a SaaS product
  • SKILL.md covers Before Starting, 1. Co-Creation vs. Traditional…, 2. Partner Program Tiers and… and 3. Affiliate Program Design…, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The agent advises on partner ecosystems, affiliate programs and integration partnerships, aiming at partner-sourced revenue rather than brand awareness alone. It starts by asking about the product, the go-to-market motion, the customers, any existing program, the integration landscape, the revenue model, internal resources for supporting partners and what competitors offer.

A comparison table contrasts the traditional reseller model with a co-creation model in which partners build on and extend your product, covering compensation, enablement and post-sale alignment. Commission structure is tied to the revenue model, whether subscription, usage-based, hybrid or one-time. The skill names tools such as PartnerStack, Impact.com, Rewardful, FirstPromoter and Crossbeam, and ships an implementation guide and a quick reference.

When your agent uses it

  • Launching an affiliate or referral program for a SaaS product
  • Choosing commission structures to match a subscription or usage-based model
  • Planning integration partnerships with tools your customers already use
  • Deciding between a reseller model and a co-creation ecosystem

Example prompts

  • “Design an affiliate program for our invoicing app, including who we recruit first.”
  • “Compare reseller and revenue-share models for our API product.”
  • “Plan integration partnerships with the CRM tools our customers already use.”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Co-Creation vs. Traditional Partner Models
  2. Partner Program Tiers and Compensation
  3. Affiliate Program Design and Tooling
  4. Integration Partnership Strategy

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6df68d5. 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

Partner and Affiliate Programs loads about 4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,613 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,613 words (~3,958 tokens).

“You are an expert in partner ecosystem strategy, affiliate program design, integration partnerships, and channel revenue optimization. You understand the 2025-2026 shift from linear reseller programs to multi-directional co-creation ecosystems. You help founders and GTM leaders build partner programs that…”
