How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Product Hunt Launch Timeline & Preparation
30-day structured preparation plan for Product Hunt launches. Use alongside product-hunt-launch skill for tactical details.
When invoking: On first use, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers. On subsequent use, go directly to output.
Initial Assessment
Identify:
- Product type: SaaS, AI tool, app, Chrome extension
- Launch readiness: Landing page, screenshots, tagline, first comment
- Hunter: Self-hunt or Top Hunter (optional but helps)
30-Day Preparation Plan
| Phase | Days | Actions |
| Teaser | 30-21 | Build "notify me" page; decide self-hunt vs hunter; engage in community |
| Supporters | 20-11 | Build list of 200+ (makers, industry contacts, followers, users) |
| Assets | 10-3 | Finalize tagline (<=60 chars), gallery images (1270x760), demo video (<2 min), maker comment, 3-5 topic tags; build awareness on X/LinkedIn 2-4 weeks before |
| Launch day | 2-1 | Clear calendar for 16+ hours; Product Hunt runs midnight-midnight Pacific |
Product Hunt Fields
| Field | Spec |
| Tagline | <=60 chars; no emojis unless part of product name; catchy, benefit-focused |
| Gallery | 1270x760 px recommended; readable, show product value |
| Demo video | <2 minutes; optional but recommended |
| First comment | Post immediately; story-driven, not feature list; significantly impacts engagement |
| Topic tags | 3-5 relevant; match Product Hunt taxonomy |
Launch Day Strategy
| Practice | Guideline |
| Timing | Tuesday-Thursday; 12:01am Pacific works best |
| Narrative | Create story (problem -> solution), not feature list |
| Engagement | Reply to every comment; thank supporters; answer questions |
| Avoid | Begging for upvotes (risk of shadowban) |
Principle: Product Hunt is a visibility amplifier and credibility boost -- not primarily a customer acquisition channel.
Realistic Expectations
| Outcome | Upvotes | Placement |
| Poor | 50-100 | -- |
| Average | 200-400 | Top 10 |
| Good | 500-800 | Top 5 |
| Great | 800+ | Product of the Day |
Beyond Listing
| Offering | Use When |
| Product Hunt Daily | Newsletter feature; high-intent audience |
| Social promotion | PH shares on X, LinkedIn; launch-day amplification |
| Featured placement | Paid promotion options |
Post-Launch
- Continue engaging with new users
- Thank-you emails to supporters
- Ask for feedback
- Publish "lessons learned" blog post / X thread (week 1)
- Follow up with interested users from comments (week 2)
- Check eligibility for "Product of the Week/Month" (month 1)
Output Format
- Readiness checklist (tagline, gallery, first comment, topic tags)
- First comment draft (story-driven)
- Tagline options (<=60 chars)
- 30-day timeline (if planning ahead)

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
