# Listicle Generator Write "Top N Best [Category]" roundup articles that rank on Google, capture featured snippets, and drive affiliate conversions across multiple products. Each list entry is a self-contained mini-review with features, pricing, pros/cons, audience fit, and a CTA.

What does the listicle-generator skill do?
Write "Top N best..." listicle articles for affiliate marketing with mini-reviews, pricing, pros/cons, and CTAs per entry. Triggers on: "write a best of list", "top 10 [category] tools", "best [product category] article", "roundup post", "listicle about [category]", "write a top tools article", "best [N] alternatives to [product]", "product roundup", "write a tools comparison list", "best software for [use case]", "top picks for [category]".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Affitor/affiliate-skills --skill listicle-generator --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Affitor/affiliate-skills, a repository with 586 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.
