Launch Blitz

Automatically formats, submits, and tracks your product launch across 21 major startup directories with tailored listings and status monitoring.

Security Scan

The skill promises fully automated submissions across 21 platforms but provides no install steps, APIs, or credential requirements — the scope and required access don't line up and the runtime instructions are vague, which could lead the agent to request or mishandle account credentials.

Purpose & Capability

The skill's stated purpose is to auto-format, submit, and track listings across 21 platforms. However, SKILL.md and the package.json list no integration methods (APIs, endpoints, or automation tools) and the manifest declares no credentials or env vars. Many listed platforms (e.g., ProductHunt, Betalist, Hacker News, X) require authenticated accounts or platform-specific submission flows — the required access is missing, so the declared capability is disproportionate to the provided requirements.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are high-level and open-ended ('Run the launch blitz'; 'Your AI will ask...') but give no safe, constrained procedure for performing submissions. They don't specify whether submissions are done via official APIs, web automation, or manual guidance. That vagueness can cause the agent to (a) ask the user for account credentials or cookies, (b) instruct local browser automation, or (c) send data to unspecified endpoints — any of which increases risk.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files to execute beyond the SKILL.md and a minimal package.json. This reduces risk from downloaded/embedded binaries. However, because it's instruction-only, the agent's runtime behavior will depend entirely on the agent environment and available tools (browser, HTTP client, automation), which is not described.

Credentials

The manifest declares no required environment variables or primary credential, yet the skill's tasks inherently require account credentials or API keys for multiple third-party services. The absence of declared credential requirements is disproportionate and ambiguous — the agent may solicit credentials interactively or ask users to paste tokens into chat, which is risky.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not marked 'always:true' and uses normal autonomous invocation settings. It does not request system-level persistence or configuration changes in the manifest. That said, because instructions are open-ended, the agent could be instructed to store credentials or logs elsewhere if the user provides them — the manifest does not authorize or describe any storage behavior.

What to consider before installing

This skill's goal (automated multi-platform submission) reasonably requires platform accounts, APIs, or browser automation, but the skill provides none of those details. Before installing or using it, ask the author: which integration methods are used for each platform (API vs manual web form), how authentication is handled (OAuth/app tokens vs passwords), and where/if credentials are stored. Do not paste account passwords into chat — prefer short-lived API tokens or OAuth redirects. If you plan to test it, use throwaway accounts and a dummy product. If the author cannot supply concrete integration docs or a safe auth flow, treat the skill as risky and avoid giving it real credentials.

Setup Instructions

Tell your AI: "Run the launch blitz."

Your AI will ask:

1. "Product name?"
2. "Tagline (under 140 chars)?"
3. "URL?"
4. "Price?"
5. "Category? (AI / Productivity / Developer Tools / etc.)"
6. "What makes it unique? (1-2 sentences)"
7. "Any alternatives it competes with?"
8. "Launch date?"

What Gets Generated

For each platform:

• Platform-specific title (some have character limits)
• Short description (140 chars)
• Medium description (280 chars)
• Long description (500 chars)
• Tags/categories
• Direct submission URL

Launch Day Checklist

Your AI generates and tracks:

- [ ] Betalist — submit (needs approval, submit 2 weeks early)
- [ ] Hacker News — Show HN post
- [ ] Indie Hackers — story post
- [ ] All others — submit listings
- [ ] X launch thread (English)

Post-Launch

After submissions, the AI:

1. Monitors each platform for approval/activity
2. Tracks upvotes, comments, and traffic
3. Reports results after 24h, 48h, 7 days
4. Suggests follow-up actions based on performance
