Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Channels: Distribution Channels Guides product distribution via third-party marketplaces and app stores. Distinct from **directory-submission** (curated lists, Product Hunt, Taaft)—marketplaces are storefronts where customers discover and purchase apps, plugins, or integrations. Hyperscaler marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP) alone are projected to process $85B+ in software sales by 2028. **When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output. ## Channel Types | Type | Definition | Examples | |------|------------|----------| | **Direct** | Company sells via own assets | Website, eCommerce, sales team | | **Indirect** | Third parties sell on your behalf | Marketplaces, app stores, resellers | **Marketplaces** = Digital storefronts where customers discover and buy; often pre-approved budgets (cloud spend), consolidated billing, faster procurement. ## Marketplace Categories | Category | Platforms | Product fit | |----------|-----------|-------------| | **Design & collaboration** | Figma Community, Canva Apps, Ado

Where does this skill come from?
From kostja94/marketing-skills, a repository with 848 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
