Engagement Best Practices

DO

  • Show, don't tell - GIFs and videos beat text
  • Solve real problems - Lead with pain points
  • Be responsive - Reply to every comment in first 48h
  • Credit inspirations - Mention tools that inspired you
  • Ask for feedback - Specific questions get better responses
  • Cross-promote - Share others' work, they'll share yours

DON'T

  • Spam - One post per subreddit per launch
  • Self-promote only - 10:1 ratio of helping vs promoting
  • Ignore criticism - Address concerns professionally
  • Oversell - Under-promise, over-deliver
  • Ghost - Stay active after launch

|--------|------|-----------------|

| GitHub stars | GitHub | 50-100 |

| npm downloads | npm stats | 100-500 |

Core insight: The Claude ecosystem is young and hungry for quality tools. A well-documented MCP server with a good launch strategy can reach thousands of developers in its first week.

Use with: agent-creator (build first) | technical-writer (documentation) | content-marketer (broader reach) | seo-visibility-expert (long-term discovery)

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take curiositech/claude-ecosystem-promoter from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
