SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It removes the last-minute writing bottleneck for launch posts by generating a complete Show HN draft (plus subreddit variants) directly from the repository’s current state and recent autonomous behavior logs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Variant-aware draft generation: Produces the default trio of Show HN, r/MachineLearning, and r/selfhosted drafts, or regenerates only one specified section based on an operator-provided variant value.
  • Context-grounded writing inputs: Builds the draft using repository sources such as README, SHOWCASE, skills counts, default-enabled skills config, recent repo articles, project lens writeups, and the last 7–14 days of memory/log entries.
  • Recency-driven lead selection: Chooses a lead cold-open by scoring candidate “lead beat” events for concreteness, recency, and surprise, prioritizing dated autonomous actions (including PR references when available).
  • Operator-controlled output: Writes drafts to today’s local markdown file without posting, and appends an operator-only launch checklist for review and timing.

Quick Start

Run show-hn-draft with the default variant set to generate today’s Show HN post draft from the current repo state and recent logs.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a Show HN post from a GitHub repository state?

Drafting a Show HN post from a GitHub repository requires reading local markdown artifacts and recent logs to generate copy-paste ready text. The tool scores candidate lead events for recency and writes today's draft sections without fabricating metrics.

Can I generate subreddit launch drafts from autonomous agent logs?

Generating subreddit launch drafts from autonomous agent logs involves analyzing the last 7 to 14 days of memory entries to ground the text. It produces variant-aware drafts for specific communities like r/MachineLearning and r/selfhosted based on concrete dated actions.

How do I cross-post launch content to multiple subreddits from a single repo?

Cross-posting launch content to multiple subreddits from a single repo uses variant-aware draft generation to output tailored sections. You can regenerate one specified section or produce the default trio of drafts based on an operator-provided variant value.

What is the best way to write a launch post using recent repo analysis?

The best way to write a launch post using recent repo analysis is to score candidate lead beat events for concreteness and surprise. This approach prioritizes dated autonomous actions including PR references to create a context-grounded cold open.

Does the Show HN draft generator post directly to Hacker News?

The Show HN draft generator does not post directly to Hacker News. It writes drafts to a local markdown file and appends an operator-only launch checklist, leaving the operator to control the actual posting and timing.

What happens if the repo analysis lacks sufficient inputs for the draft?

When repo analysis lacks sufficient inputs for the draft, the system logs the missing inputs without fabricating metrics. It relies strictly on available repository sources like README, SHOWCASE, skills counts, and recent articles to build the text.
