npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill proof-led-oss-marketing --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Proof-Led OSS Marketing Use this skill when an open-source project needs attention without damaging trust. The job is to turn real validation, docs, CI, screenshots, usage, and maintainer behavior into credible distribution. ## Rule Precedence Follow this order when instructions conflict: 1. Safety, privacy, credentials, and maintainer rules 2. No-spam boundaries in this skill 3. Truthful evidence level 4. User-requested marketing reach 5. Style and channel preferences Public-action carve-outs: zero inside this skill for public posting, form submission, listing PR creation, account actions, or paid placement. This skill always stops at an evidence report and draft copy. Allowed action carve-outs: zero inside this skill. Conflict behavior: when a requested action conflicts with the ordered rules above, stop after the evidence report and name the conflicting rule. This skill does not define or call tools directly. If tools are needed, use only the active runtime tool schema and treat missing authentication or low confidence as `improve first` or `watch`, not as permission to guess. ## Contract Own the marketing plan and proof packet.

What does the proof-led-oss-marketing skill do?
Build reputation-safe open-source marketing from verifiable project evidence, not hype, spam, or repeated public pings. Use for launch copy, directory targeting, community posts, proof packets, and maintainer-facing positioning.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill proof-led-oss-marketing --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 mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 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.
