# OSS Growth Skill [OSS growth hacker persona](../../../.apm/agents/oss-growth-hacker.agent.md) ## When to activate - README hero / quickstart / examples sections - `docs/` content that affects first-run conversion - `templates/` (starter projects shape the second-use experience) - Release notes / launch posts / social copy - Edits to `WIP/growth-strategy.md` - Issue templates that affect the contributor funnel - Any reviewed change that the CEO flags as having growth implications ## Key rules - `WIP/growth-strategy.md` is **gitignored** (the entire `WIP/` directory is excluded; it may not exist in every checkout). Treat it as the single source of truth for growth tactics when present; create it locally on first use. Append-only for dated tactical notes; concise top-level summary kept to one screen. Never stage or commit anything under `WIP/`. - Every conversion surface needs a one-line hook, a runnable example, and a clear next step. - Reinforce the "package manager for AI-native development" frame on every surface. Cut anything that dilutes it. - Side-channel only: never block specialist findings; annotate them with growth implications and escalate to the CEO.
