$npx -y skills add Varnan-Tech/opendirectory --skill oss-launch-kitHigher-level OSS launch orchestrator that analyzes repos, selects channels, and coordinates launch plans.
| 1 | # OSS Launch Kit (Orchestrator) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | 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. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | 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. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## How it works |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - **Project Analysis**: Differentiates between CLI tools, libraries, apps, and templates. |
| 10 | - **Launch Readiness**: Stronger checks for installation guides, examples, and licenses. |
| 11 | - **Skill Orchestration**: Provides hooks and explicit handoffs to `show-hn-writer`, `producthunt-launch-kit`, and `reddit-post-engine`. |
| 12 | - **Coordinated Strategy**: A timed checklist for multi-channel launches. |
| 13 | - **Honest Feedback**: Proactively flags sparse READMEs and recommends documentation sprints. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## When to use |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - **Primary Entry Point**: Use this first to map out your launch strategy. |
| 18 | - **Readiness Assessment**: Determine if your repo is actually ready for high-friction channels. |
| 19 | - **Skill Orchestration**: Get hooks and handoffs to specialized skills: |
| 20 | - `show-hn-writer` (for technical deep-dives) |
| 21 | - `producthunt-launch-kit` (for PH assets and badges) |
| 22 | - `reddit-post-engine` (for community-specific variants) |
| 23 | - `tweet-thread-from-blog` (for Twitter/X threads) |
| 24 | - `linkedin-post-generator` (for LinkedIn posts) |
| 25 | - **Coordinated Strategy**: Get a realistic, timed checklist for multiple platforms. |
