Launch Post

Q: How do I know the Launch Post output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Leads with what it does and the problem — not "excited to announce"; Includes concrete proof (snippet, benchmark, demo, or how-it-works detail); Honestly states limits/trade-offs — credibility, not spin; Title options are specific and channel-appropriate (e.g. correct Show HN format).

Write a developer-audience launch post — Show HN, a Product Hunt blurb, a 'we shipped X' dev blog intro, or a launch tweet thread. Use when launching a tool, library, API, or open-source project to a technical audience. Produces a credible, hype-free post that leads with what it does and why it's different, plus title options and a comment-ready first reply.

What to give it

▸What you built — the tool/library/API, in one plain sentence.

▸The problem & why now — what was painful before; why you made it.

▸What's different — how it compares to the obvious alternatives (honestly).

▸Proof — a code snippet, benchmark, demo link, repo, or "how it works" detail.

▸Channel & ask — Show HN / Product Hunt / blog / X thread, and what you want (feedback, stars, signups).

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Leads with what it does and the problem — not "excited to announce"

✓Includes concrete proof (snippet, benchmark, demo, or how-it-works detail)

✓Honestly states limits/trade-offs — credibility, not spin

✓Title options are specific and channel-appropriate (e.g. correct Show HN format)

✓One clear ask, and a first comment ready to seed the thread

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not use marketing hype ("revolutionary", "game-changing") — devs downvote it

Do not hide limitations — naming them earns trust and pre-empts the top comment

Do not bury the what-it-does under backstory — lead with substance

Do not make claims without proof — show the code/benchmark/demo

Do not write a generic post — tune tone and format to the actual channel
