When the user wants to market an open source project authentically. Trigger phrases include "open source marketing," "OSS marketing," "GitHub marketing," "promote my library," "grow stars," "launch open source," "open source growth," or "contributor marketing.".
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
# Open Source Marketing This skill helps you market open source projects without being cringe. Covers GitHub optimization, community building, contributor experience, launch strategies, and sustainable growth. --- ## Before You Start **Load your audience context first.** Read `.agents/developer-audience-context.md` to understand: - Who would use this project (role, tech stack, problem) - Where they discover tools (communities, social, search) - What alternatives exist (why would they switch?) - How they evaluate OSS (stars, activity, docs, community) If the context file doesn't exist, run the `developer-audience-context` skill first. --- ## The OSS Marketing Mindset ### What Works vs. What Doesn't | Works | Doesn't Work | |-------|--------------| | Building in public | Spamming "check out my project" | | Solving real problems | Building solutions seeking problems | | Genuine community engagement | Transactional follows/unfollows | | Great docs and DX | "The code is self-documenting" | | Celebrating contributors | Taking sole credit | | Consistent presence | Launch and disappear | ### The Growth Equation ``` …

How to install
mdr add jonathimer/devmarketing-skills/open-source-marketing@sha256:f96f8602eb15d582The 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.
