Write the posts that announce a release, a launch or an article — Hacker News, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky and dev.to/Medium cross-posts — from one source of truth, each shaped to its channel and checked against that channel's mechanical rules. Use when the user wants to announce or promote something they shipped, asks for a Show HN, a LinkedIn post, a tweet or thread, a Reddit post or a dev.to copy, or says "write a launch post", "draft a LinkedIn post", "write an X thread…

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

# Announcing something you shipped

The work is the same every time and goes wrong in the same places: a title one channel
cuts, Markdown another prints literally, a cross-post that competes with its own original
in search. This skill writes every channel's draft from **one source of truth**, then
checks the drafts mechanically before anyone pastes them.

## Prerequisites

- **Tools:** Python 3 (the checker is stdlib only). Network only for `--links`.
- **Credentials:** none. Nothing here logs in: the optional publish step works only in
  a browser where the user is already signed in to the channel.
- **Browser (optional, step 6 only):** Claude in Chrome or the desktop app's built-in
  browser pane.
- **Hub (`$APP_HUB`):** optional — where the drafts live, in `campaigns/` (see the hub
  contract, `docs/contracts/hub.md`), and an app's `profile.md` there is a good source of
  truth. Without a hub the drafts go to a git-excluded `launch/` in the repo.
- **Other tracks:** none. `shared-track`'s `copy-edit` is worth running on long drafts.

## Workflow

### 1. Name the source of truth, and read it

One of: a `CHANGELOG.md` section, a published article, an app's `profile.md`, a README.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yybd/app-factory/announce@sha256:dc8bbdb003bb8cd7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.066146c, 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.
