## What it 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.
