Awesome Lists Getting on awesome lists drives traffic and credibility.
Step Action 1 Find relevant awesome lists (search "awesome + [topic]") 2 Check list requirements (quality, activity, docs) 3 Ensure your project meets criteria 4 Submit PR following list's guidelines 5 Be patient — curation takes time

Limitations
Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
