# Product Hunt Launch Kit Generate every asset you need for a Product Hunt launch: listing copy, maker comment, and day-one social posts. --- **Critical rule:** Product Hunt taglines are maximum 60 characters. Descriptions are maximum 500 characters. Never make factual claims that cannot be verified. Never mention competitor names. Never say "free" unless the product is permanently free (not just a trial). --- ## Step 1: Gather Product Details You need: - Product name - What it does (technical description, one sentence) - Primary use case and target user - Key differentiator from existing tools - Pricing: free, freemium, paid (starting price) - Open source: yes/no - Launch date (for scheduling context) - Any credentials, launch discount, or promo code to offer - 2-3 things that make it worth upvoting (honest reasons, not marketing) If any of these are missing, ask in one message before proceeding. Also check for project context files: ```bash ls README.md 2>/dev/null && echo "README found" ls package.json 2>/dev/null && echo "package.json found" ``` If README.md exists, read the first 80 lines to extract product description and key features before asking questions. --- ## Step 2: G

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Varnan-Tech/opendirectory --skill producthunt-launch-kit --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 Varnan-Tech/opendirectory, a repository with 571 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.
