Channels: Product Hunt Launch

适用场景:Product Hunt 上线推广

Guides preparing and executing a Product Hunt launch. Product Hunt is a community-driven product discovery platform; only ~10% of submissions get featured on the homepage. Best for SaaS, developer tools, AI/ML products, and productivity software. Physical products and service businesses have limited success.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
本指南用于指导Product Hunt上线的筹备与执行工作。Product Hunt是社区驱动的产品发现平台,仅有约10%的提交内容能登上首页。最适合SaaS、开发者工具、AI/ML产品以及效率类软件,实体产品和服务类业务上线效果通常不佳。
调用规则首次使用时,如果适用,可先用1-2句话介绍本技能覆盖的内容及其价值,再输出核心内容。后续调用或用户要求跳过介绍时,直接输出核心内容即可。

Initial Assessment

初步评估

Read project context first: If
.claude/project-context.md
or
.cursor/project-context.md
exists, use Sections 1–4, 5, 6, 8, 9 for submission content.
Identify:
  1. Product type: SaaS, AI tool, app, Chrome extension
  2. Launch readiness: Landing page, screenshots, tagline, first comment
  3. Hunter: Self-hunt or Top Hunter (optional but helps)
优先读取项目上下文:如果存在
.claude/project-context.md
.cursor/project-context.md
文件,可提取第1-4、5、6、8、9部分的内容作为提交素材。
确认以下信息:
  1. 产品类型:SaaS、AI工具、应用、Chrome扩展
  2. 上线准备度:落地页、截图、宣传标语、首条评论
  3. Hunter:自主发布还是找顶级Hunter发布(非必填但有助获得曝光)

Launch Day Strategy

上线日策略

PracticeGuideline
TimingTuesday–Thursday; 12:01am Pacific works best
NarrativeCreate story (problem → solution), not feature list
EngagementReply to every comment; thank supporters; answer questions
AvoidBegging for upvotes (risk of shadowban)
Principle: Product Hunt is a visibility amplifier and credibility boost—not primarily a customer acquisition channel.
操作指导规则
上线时间周二至周四;太平洋时间00:01上线效果最佳
内容叙事打造「问题→解决方案」的故事线,不要堆砌功能列表
互动运营回复每一条评论;感谢支持者;及时解答疑问
禁忌操作乞要upvote(有被 shadowban 的风险)
核心原则:Product Hunt是曝光放大器和可信度加持工具,其核心定位并非获客渠道。
