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

product-hunt-launch 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 12d 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Channels: Product Hunt Launch

Guides preparing and executing a Product Hunt launch. Product Hunt is a community-driven product discovery platform; only ~10% of submissions get featured on the homepage. Best for SaaS, developer tools, AI/ML products, and productivity software. Physical products and service businesses have limited success.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Read project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, use Sections 1–4, 5, 6, 8, 9 for submission content.

Identify:

  1. Product type: SaaS, AI tool, app, Chrome extension
  2. Launch readiness: Landing page, screenshots, tagline, first comment
  3. Hunter: Self-hunt or Top Hunter (optional but helps)

30-Day Preparation Plan

Phase Days Actions
Teaser 30–21 Build "notify me" page; decide self-hunt vs hunter; engage in community
Supporters 20–11 Build list of 200+ (makers, industry contacts, followers, users)
Assets 10–3 Finalize tagline (≤60 chars), gallery images (1270×760), demo video (<2 min), maker comment, 3–5 topic tags; build awareness on X/LinkedIn 2–4 weeks before
Launch day 2–1 Clear calendar for 16+ hours; Product Hunt runs midnight–midnight Pacific

Product Hunt Fields

Field Spec
Tagline ≤60 chars; no emojis unless part of product name; catchy, benefit-focused
Gallery 1270×760 px recommended; readable, show product value
Demo video <2 minutes; optional but recommended
First comment Post immediately; story-driven, not feature list; significantly impacts engagement
Topic tags 3–5 relevant; match Product Hunt taxonomy

Launch Day Strategy

Practice Guideline
Timing Tuesday–Thursday; 12:01am Pacific works best
Narrative Create story (problem → solution), not feature list
Engagement Reply to every comment; thank supporters; answer questions
Avoid Begging for upvotes (risk of shadowban)

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.
