Skill0 starsChanged 6 months agoMITView on GitHub
When the user needs marketing ideas, inspiration, or strategies for their SaaS or software product. Also use when the user asks for 'marketing ideas,' 'growth ideas,' 'how to market,' 'marketing strategies,' 'marketing tactics,' 'ways to promote,' 'ideas to grow,' 'what else can I try,' 'I don't know how to market this,' 'brainstorm marketing,' or 'what marketing should I do.' Use this as a starting point whenever someone is stuck or looking for inspiration on how to grow. For specific channel execution, see the relevant skill (paid-ads, social-content, email-sequence, etc.).
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. 4 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
4
Common
Most of the 52 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 15
If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions.
- Common: line 17
When asked for marketing ideas:
- Common: line 18
Ask about their product, audience, and current stage if not clear
- Common: line 21
Consider their resources (time, budget, team size)
- Common: line 142
When recommending ideas, provide for each:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 52 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

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.

Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
