Use when the user asks to prepare a Product Hunt launch or generate Product Hunt listing assets. Generates tagline variants under 60 chars, a 500-char description, a maker comment, launch-day tweet thread, LinkedIn post, and a 4-email launch sequence.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Product Hunt Launch Kit

Generate every asset you need for a Product Hunt launch: listing copy, maker comment, and day-one social posts.

---

**Critical rule:** Product Hunt taglines are maximum 60 characters. Descriptions are maximum 500 characters. Never make factual claims that cannot be verified. Never mention competitor names. Never say "free" unless the product is permanently free (not just a trial).

---

## Step 1: Gather Product Details

You need:

- Product name
- What it does (technical description, one sentence)
- Primary use case and target user
- Key differentiator from existing tools
- Pricing: free, freemium, paid (starting price)
- Open source: yes/no
- Launch date (for scheduling context)
- Any credentials, launch discount, or promo code to offer
- 2-3 things that make it worth upvoting (honest reasons, not marketing)

If any of these are missing, ask in one message before proceeding.

Also check for project context files:

```bash
ls README.md 2>/dev/null && echo "README found"
ls package.json 2>/dev/null && echo "package.json found"
```

If README.md exists, read the first 80 lines to extract product description and key features before asking questions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add varnan-tech/opendirectory/producthunt-launch-kit@sha256:37ac4bc10f8c0e5c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
