The oss-launch-kit is the **root orchestration layer** for open-source launches in OpenDirectory. It turns a GitHub repository URL into a grounded, coordinated launch strategy.
What this skill does
- 1Analyzes a GitHub repo URL to classify the project type — CLI tool, library, app, or template — and checks launch readiness against README quality, examples, and license.
- 2Selects the right launch channels based on project fit: Show HN for technical depth, Product Hunt for broad discovery, Reddit for community-specific variants.
- 3Provides explicit handoffs to specialized skills (show-hn-writer, producthunt-launch-kit, reddit-post-engine, tweet-thread-from-blog) with pre-filled context.
- 4Outputs a timed multi-channel launch checklist coordinating all platforms with realistic sequencing.
When to use
- You are launching an open-source project and want a coordinated strategy across multiple platforms.
- You want to know whether your repo is ready for high-friction channels like HN or Product Hunt before posting.
- You need orchestrated handoffs to channel-specific launch skills without repeating context.
- You want honest feedback on sparse READMEs or missing documentation before launch day.
