## What it does

This skill prepares separate submission packages for Product Hunt, Show HN, subreddits and directories. It creates a tagline, gallery and first-comment outline, factual Show HN copy, subreddit posts with a self-promotion rules table, and tiered directory waves.

Before submission, it checks launch facts, the current manifest hash and a SHIP verdict. It uses WebFetch to re-check official platform rules and creates T-0 submission-status lines for the launch registry. A plan based on stale rules is not enough because platform specifications can change.

Its scope is community and directory submissions. It does not run paid amplification, creator campaigns, launch telemetry, or ongoing community activity outside the launch window.
