blurt: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/launch-metrics/SKILL.md

launch-metrics is a skill for Claude Code from AssemblyAI/blurt. It costs 59 tokens per session (403 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that prints daily launch measurements for Blurt, including download totals, GitHub stars, and unique visitors with their referrers. It uses the GitHub command-line tool and compares results with campaign targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps monitor Blurt.dmg downloads, GitHub growth, referral sources, and recurring launch-week checks.
Why use it?
It gives the launch team a repeatable way to check progress without an analytics vendor. It also separates unique visitors from inflated raw traffic counts.

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

launch-metrics 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (metrics.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Blurt launch metrics

A $0 measurement backbone from the GitHub API (campaign §7). No analytics vendor required — gh is the whole toolchain.

What it reports

  • Blurt.dmg downloads — the primary KPI. Summed download_count across releases' Blurt.dmg assets. Bands (4-week, campaign §1): baseline ~500, good ~1,500, great 4,000+.
  • GitHub stars — bands: baseline +100, good +300, great +800.
  • Unique visitors & referrers — uniques are the source of truth (raw view counts are inflated by bots and your own reloads, so the script reports unique visitors and ranks referrers by uniques). Needs push access; the repos/.../traffic/* endpoints are owner-only. Watch for awesome-list and dev-site referrers as the evergreen layer kicks in (§7).

Run it

.claude/skills/launch-metrics/metrics.sh

Requires gh auth status to be logged in. The script is read-only.

Recurring during launch week

Wrap with the built-in loop for the §7 daily cadence:

/loop 1d /launch-metrics

Then drop to a weekly check for the rest of the month. Note the script gives a point-in-time download total; track the day-over-day delta yourself (or paste the prior day's number) to see the rate, which is what the bands are really about.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
