product-hunt-launch · 101-skills — Claude Code skill: prep a Product Hunt launch
A skill that walks you through a Product Hunt launch: tagline, gallery order, maker comment and the day's timing, with images and research run through the belt CLI.
npx skills add 101-skills/superpowers --skill product-hunt-launch -a claude-codeWhat product-hunt-launch does
The skill covers the listing itself: character limits, which gallery slot does what, tagline formulas, and the structure of a maker comment you post right after going live. It also lays out timing — which day of the week, what time to publish, and a checklist for the hours that follow.
Images and research go through belt app run. The hero shot comes from falai/flux-dev-lora with a prompt and dimensions, before/after pairs from infsh/stitch-images, and competitor research from tavily/search-assistant. You need belt login first.
The catch is the CLI. The skill only works where belt is installed, and that install is separate: npx skills add belt-sh/cli. Without an authenticated belt, the generation and search commands do nothing — worth checking a week out rather than at 12:01 AM PT on launch day.
What it helps with
- fit a tagline inside the character limit with no trailing period
- order gallery images from hero shot to social proof
- generate a hero image and feature demos with
belt - draft a maker comment and post it minutes after going live
- plan the launch-day schedule in Pacific Time
Example prompts for the agent
- generate a hero gallery image with
belt app run falai/flux-dev-lora - check my tagline against the 60 character limit and give me three alternatives
- build a Product Hunt launch plan: day, time and engagement schedule
