github-stars-playbook

github-stars-playbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Gingiris-1031/gingiris-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,014 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A 14-day playbook for increasing the number of stars on a GitHub repository, including daily actions for Show HN, Reddit, Twitter/X, events, and GitHub Trending.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan repository promotion, recruit contributors or ambassadors, and coordinate launch, milestone, or event-based outreach.
Why use it?
It replaces ad-hoc promotion with a day-by-day outreach and community plan. GitHub stars are bookmarks and public signals of interest in a repository.

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

github-stars-playbook 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 2d 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 — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Stars — 14-Day Evidence-Driven Sprint

Use stars as a proxy for qualified developer interest, never as the final business outcome. Track installation, activation, repeat use and contribution beside stars.

Intake gate

Collect before planning:

  • repository URL, license and target developer;
  • working quickstart verified on a clean machine;
  • one reproducible demo and one differentiator;
  • current views, unique cloners, stars, issues, contributors and activation event;
  • three direct competitors and their latest launch/change dates;
  • available founder, engineering and community capacity.

Do not launch if a new developer cannot understand the value and complete the quickstart in 10 minutes.

Measurement contract

Create one row per channel:

date | source | post URL | repo views | stars | clones | installs | activated | retained D7 | contributors

Report view → star, star → install, install → activation, and activation → D7 retained. Do not attribute organic GitHub traffic to a campaign without source evidence.

Competitor-window scan

Before selecting the launch date:

  1. Review the three competitors' release notes, X, Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt and GitHub activity from the last 30 days.
  2. Record their positioning, strongest proof asset, community response and unresolved complaints.
  3. Avoid launching into a dominant competitor announcement unless the product is a credible alternative to that exact news.
  4. Use a quiet window or a category event where the repository adds a distinct point of view.

Historical Gingiris OSS launch evidence shows that timing against the competitor/news window materially changes distribution; it is not enough to post everywhere on a fixed calendar.

README conversion surface

The first screen must contain:

  • one-line outcome for a named developer;
  • reproducible demo or result;
  • three differentiators at most;
  • quickstart that works when copied;
  • trust signals: license, security/privacy posture, maintainers and community link.

What ships with it

5 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.
