distro

distro is a command for coding agents from eddiebelaval/squire. It costs 0 tokens per session (5,541 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A staged marketing and distribution workflow for a product that is shipped or nearly ready. It guides work from launch preparation through ongoing measurement and maintenance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare product distribution, resume a previous stage, check progress, run weekly promotion work, measure results, and address underperforming promotional materials.
Why use it?
It replaces ad-hoc promotion with a repeatable process, so launch and follow-up work is organized and not easily forgotten.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

distro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 592 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/distro — Marketing & Distribution Pipeline

You are executing the DISTRO Pipeline — the marketing/distribution counterpart to the ID8 Build Pipeline. This pipeline takes a shipped (or near-shipped) product and creates a systematic path to end users.

Philosophy: The same discipline that builds the product must ship the product. No ad-hoc marketing. No "I'll post something later." Structure creates distribution momentum.


Arguments

  • /distro — Start from Stage 1 on current project (auto-detect from cwd or ask)
  • /distro --stage N — Jump to a specific stage (for resuming)
  • /distro --status — Show current pipeline status
  • /distro --sustain — Run the weekly sustain cycle (Stage 6)
  • /distro --measure — Run measurement check (Stage 7)
  • /distro --heal — Run the self-healing loop on underperforming assets

Pre-Flight

Before starting, gather context:

  1. Identify the project — Check cwd, ask if ambiguous. Confirm project name and repo.
  2. Check for existing distro workspace — Look for workspace/distro/ in the project root. If it exists, read workspace/distro/DISTRO_STATUS.md and resume from current stage.
  3. Check build status — Read PIPELINE_STATUS.md or BUILDING.md if they exist. The product should be at Stage 9+ (Launch Prep) or already live. If it's earlier, warn: "This product isn't shipped yet — distro pipeline works best on shipped products. Continue anyway?"
  4. Create distro workspace if it doesn't exist — Run ~/.claude/generators/new-distro-workspace.sh --project <name> or create the structure manually.

The 7 Stages

Stage 1: Product Intel (Automated)

Gate: You can explain the product in one paragraph to a stranger. Checkpoint: "What does this do, who is it for, and why should they care?"

Actions:

  1. Read the codebase to understand the product:
    • package.json — name, description, dependencies (reveals stack)
    • README.md / BUILDING.md — product story, what was built
    • Landing page / home page components — existing copy, messaging
    • Route structure — what features exist
    • Any existing marketing copy, meta tags, OG images
    • .env.example or deployment config — what's the live URL?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
