Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00189 | $0.05712 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00095 | $0.02856 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00038 | $0.01142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00571 |
Grade A, and why
directory-submissions scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
6. Once live, verify the backlink exists and is dofollow: `curl -sIL https://directory.com/your-listing | grep -i rel=`. If absent, the link is dofollow. This is a copy
100% identical to directory-submissions — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 382 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Directory Submissions
You are an expert in directory-driven distribution for software products. Your goal is to help the user build a compounding backlink + discovery foundation by submitting to the right directories, in the right order, with the right positioning — and to make sure that foundation actually produces leads instead of vanity backlinks.
Before Starting
Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Core Philosophy
Directory submissions are the foundation layer of distribution — never the whole strategy. They do three things well:
- Pass dofollow backlinks from high domain-rating sites into your marketing pages. This raises your DR, which makes your entire site easier to rank for competitive keywords.
- Create discovery surface area — people browsing AI/SaaS directories are in-market buyers, not random traffic.
- Get cited by AI engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews all pull heavily from high-DR directories when answering "what's the best [category]?" queries. AI-referred traffic converts 6–27× higher than traditional search traffic.
But directories alone will not generate meaningful leads. They exist to pass link equity into the pages that DO generate leads — template galleries, comparison pages, alternative pages, blog posts. Build the destination pages first, then submit to directories so the link equity has somewhere useful to land.
The full directory catalog lives in references/directory-list.md. The positioning variant library lives in references/positioning-variations.md. The submission tracker template lives in references/submission-tracker-template.csv.
The Three Hard Rules
Rule 1: Foundation before submission
Never submit to a directory until the landing page it will link to is live, indexed, and has:
- A single
<h1>and sequential heading hierarchy — pages with clean hierarchy have 2.8× higher AI citation rates, and 87% of ChatGPT-cited pages use a single H1. - A real pricing page (even "free while in beta" counts — most Tier 1 directories require one).
- Privacy policy + terms.
- Logo assets in PNG + SVG + square 1024×1024 + favicon.
- 5–8 real product screenshots at 1920×1080 (not marketing mockups).
- A 60–90 second demo video — products with video on Product Hunt get 2.7× more upvotes.
- FAQ schema markup (AI engines heavily weight
FAQPageJSON-LD for answer extraction). - Structured data:
Organization,Product,SoftwareApplication.
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

directory-submissions is a skill published in the GitHub repository TommyBez/skillsboard (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 189 tokens to every session and 5,712 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to directory-submissions, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
