gingiris-opensource

A staged guide to growing an open-source project, where the source code is publicly available and developers can contribute. It covers preparation, launch, and longer-term growth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve a repository README, prepare launch posts, choose channels such as Hacker News and Reddit, contact influential developers, and plan ongoing technical content.
Why use it?
It turns a vague goal of getting more GitHub stars and contributors into a sequence of publishing, launch, and community tasks.

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

gingiris-opensource 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.

Open-Source Marketing — GitHub Stars Growth System

🌍 Language / 语言: English | 中文

Stars don't come from a great repo — they come from a great repo placed in front of the right developers, in the right order. This is the staged decision framework used to take AFFiNE from 0 to 60K stars.

Case-number and citation boundaries: references/podcast-evidence.md.


English Version

The 3-stage framework

Stage 1 — Pre-launch (T-30 → T-0)
  • README in English-first; the first screen must be understandable in <3 seconds.
  • Demo video ≤ 60s, captioned.
  • License chosen deliberately (MIT / Apache-2 / AGPL each carry traps).
  • 3–5 early maintainers / contributors lined up.
  • Community channel live (Discord or Telegram, English-first).
Stage 2 — Launch (T-0 → T+14)
  • Product Hunt (run the dedicated launch sequence).
  • Hacker News Show HN — Tuesday 9am ET, or Saturday.
  • Reddit — pick 3 relevant subs (r/selfhosted, r/programming, one niche tech sub).
  • Deep technical posts on dev.to / Zenn / CSDN.
  • 3–5 KOLs to amplify (activity > follower count).
Stage 3 — Growth (T+14 → T+180)
  • One technical blog per week.
  • Turn GitHub Issues into content (user questions → FAQ → posts).
  • Monthly update (mailing list + Discord).
  • Localize for going global (Japan/Korea first).

Star Region Distribution (GitHub Trending unlock)

  • No single country/region should exceed 20% of your total stars.
  • Global healthy split reference: China 19-21%, US 19-21%, rest scattered across Europe / Russia / Canada / Indonesia.
  • Finer benchmark (from studying VSCode / Vue / AppFlowy the week before AFFiNE's launch): US 19-21%, China ~19-21%, FR+DE+IT+UK combined 10-15%; Russia and Brazil usually appear in the Top-10 countries. Week-1 stars matching this curve = healthy global cold start.
  • Tools: star-history.com (trend chart) · oss.cool / OSS Insight (per-country breakdown, built by Chinese devs)
  • Launch sequence: Week 1 → overseas-only outreach. Week 2 → domestic (Chinese) outreach. Reversing this breaks the distribution and kills Trending eligibility.
  • AFFiNE real case: deliberately skipped WeChat Moments / Chinese community posts in week 1.

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

gingiris-opensource is a skill published in the GitHub repository Gingiris-1031/gingiris-skills (74 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 431 tokens to every session and 4,596 once invoked, about $0.0022 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
