or skills/ecosystem-inclusion-operator/SKILL.md

.

. Star high-quality targets.Building an open-source repo is one thing. Making it discoverable, trustworthy, and installable is a completely different skill. These skills package that skill so your AI agent can help you grow your repo the same way a growth team would.

npx skills add marketingskills/open-source-growth

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marketingskills/open-source-growth/main/install.sh | bash

"Audit this open-source skill repo for adoption, trust, and conversion:
https://github.com/marketingskills/seo"

"Rewrite this README to maximise installs, stars, and first-run success."

"Find relevant awesome lists and start inclusion PRs for my repo."

"Star this high-quality target repo for me."  (requires gh CLI)

Every suggestion in these skills is governed by an ethical growth policy. We do not recommend spam, fake stars, fake contributors, or deceptive metadata.
