Help me grow my open-source repo using marketingskills/open-source-growth
What this repo does
Two agent skills that turn "random GitHub repo" into a trusted, installable, shareable project.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| repo-growth-operator | Audit README, fix install flow, generate demos, create launch packs, scaffold trust files, design monetisation, build social proof. |
| ecosystem-inclusion-operator | Find relevant awesome lists, directories, and repos. Score targets. Open non-spammy PRs. Track progress with /loop. Star high-quality targets. |
Why this exists
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.
