OSS Launch Kit (Orchestrator)
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.
Rather than just writing generic copy, this skill serves as the Strategic Entry Point: it evaluates readiness, determines channel fitness (Show HN vs. Product Hunt vs. Reddit), and provides the coordination logic needed to use specialized skills effectively.
How it works
- Project Analysis: Differentiates between CLI tools, libraries, apps, and templates.
- Launch Readiness: Stronger checks for installation guides, examples, and licenses.
- Skill Orchestration: Provides hooks and explicit handoffs to
show-hn-writer, producthunt-launch-kit, and reddit-post-engine.
- Coordinated Strategy: A timed checklist for multi-channel launches.
- Honest Feedback: Proactively flags sparse READMEs and recommends documentation sprints.
When to use
- Primary Entry Point: Use this first to map out your launch strategy.
- Readiness Assessment: Determine if your repo is actually ready for high-friction channels.
- Skill Orchestration: Get hooks and handoffs to specialized skills:
show-hn-writer (for technical deep-dives)producthunt-launch-kit (for PH assets and badges)reddit-post-engine (for community-specific variants)tweet-thread-from-blog (for Twitter/X threads)linkedin-post-generator (for LinkedIn posts)
- Coordinated Strategy: Get a realistic, timed checklist for multiple platforms.
