product-hunt-launch
When the user wants to launch on Product Hunt, prepare a PH submission, or plan launch day (hunter, first comment, timing, upvotes). Also use when the user mentions "Product Hunt," "launch on Product Hunt," "PH launch," "Product Hunt submission," "hunter," "Product of the Day," "upvotes," or "Product Hunt first comment." For multi-platform directory listings and paste-ready copy beyond PH, use directory-submission.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, copilot.

# Channels: Product Hunt Launch Guides preparing and executing a Product Hunt launch. Product Hunt is a community-driven product discovery platform; only ~10% of submissions get featured on the homepage. Best for SaaS, developer tools, AI/ML products, and productivity software. Physical products and service businesses have limited success. **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. ## Initial Assessment **Read project context first:** If `.claude/project-context.md` or `.cursor/project-context.md` exists, use Sections 1–4, 5, 6, 8, 9 for submission content. Identify: 1. **Product type**: SaaS, AI tool, app, Chrome extension 2. **Launch readiness**: Landing page, screenshots, tagline, first comment 3. **Hunter**: Self-hunt or Top Hunter (optional but helps) ## 30-Day Preparation Plan | Phase | Days | Actions | |-------|------|---------| | **Teaser** | 30–21 | Build "notify me" page; decide self-hunt vs hunter; engage in community | | **Supporters** | 20–11 | Build list of 200+ (makers, industry

How do I install it?

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.
