oss-launch-kit

oss-launch-kit is a skill for Claude Code from Varnan-Tech/opendirectory. It costs 22 tokens per session (418 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning workflow for launching an open-source project, using a GitHub repository as its starting point. It assesses the project, chooses suitable channels, and coordinates specialized launch writing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Analyze a repository, distinguish its project type, check documentation and license readiness, plan launch timing, and hand work to channel-specific skills.
Why use it?
It helps avoid generic launch plans by checking whether the repository is ready and whether channels such as Hacker News, Product Hunt, or Reddit fit.

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

oss-launch-kit 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/build_product_brief.py, scripts/fetch_repo_context.py, scripts/generate_assets.py, …), 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

OSS Launch Kit (Orchestrator)

The oss-launch-kit is the root orchestration layer for open-source launches in OpenDirectory. It turns a GitHub repository URL into a grounded, coordinated launch strategy.

Rather than just writing generic copy, this skill serves as the Strategic Entry Point: it evaluates readiness, determines channel fitness (Show HN vs. Product Hunt vs. Reddit), and provides the coordination logic needed to use specialized skills effectively.

How it works

  • Project Analysis: Differentiates between CLI tools, libraries, apps, and templates.
  • Launch Readiness: Stronger checks for installation guides, examples, and licenses.
  • Skill Orchestration: Provides hooks and explicit handoffs to show-hn-writer, producthunt-launch-kit, and reddit-post-engine.
  • Coordinated Strategy: A timed checklist for multi-channel launches.
  • Honest Feedback: Proactively flags sparse READMEs and recommends documentation sprints.

When to use

  • Primary Entry Point: Use this first to map out your launch strategy.
  • Readiness Assessment: Determine if your repo is actually ready for high-friction channels.
  • Skill Orchestration: Get hooks and handoffs to specialized skills:
    • show-hn-writer (for technical deep-dives)
    • producthunt-launch-kit (for PH assets and badges)
    • reddit-post-engine (for community-specific variants)
    • tweet-thread-from-blog (for Twitter/X threads)
    • linkedin-post-generator (for LinkedIn posts)
  • Coordinated Strategy: Get a realistic, timed checklist for multiple platforms.

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.
