    Sample input

    I built a Rust-based tool that optimizes Postgres queries. Write a post for Hacker News and r/rust. Here is the repo: github.com/user/pg-opt

    Sample output

    HN Title: Show HN: Pg-opt – a Postgres query optimizer written in Rust

    First Comment: I built pg-opt because our production queries were hitting 500ms and standard EXPLAIN ANALYZE was too slow to parse manually. It’s a CLI that identifies missing indexes and redundant joins. Excited for feedback.

    About This Skill

    What it does

    The Developer Community Post Writer creates posts for technical platforms like Hacker News, Reddit, Dev.to, and Lobsters. It understands that these communities have a fierce "no-marketing" filter and strict unwritten rules. Instead of generic copy, it produces technically substantive, plain-language posts that prioritize value over hype.

    Why use this skill

    Most AI-generated text is immediately flagged as spam by developer communities because it uses "marketing-speak" or identifiable AI patterns. This skill is better than standard prompting because it is calibrated on the specific cultural norms, title conventions, and self-promotion rules of different tech enclaves. It knows that a "Show HN" on Hacker News requires a link submission with a specific first-comment format, whereas a subreddit might require a text-post with specific flair.

    By using this skill, you don't just get a post; you get a strategy for each platform that respects their rules, minimizing the risk of bans or removals while maximizing genuine engagement with other developers.

    Supported Platforms

    • Hacker News (Show HN, Ask HN)
    • Reddit (Subreddit-specific rules and flair)
    • Indie Hackers
    • Dev.to
    • Lobsters

    What the output looks like

    You will receive platform-specific titles, correctly formatted body text (or first-comment text for HN), recommended flair/tags, and a "Removal Risk" report that flags potential issues like self-promo ratios or posting-day restrictions.

    Use Cases

    • Convert a product launch into a high-signal Show HN post and first comment.
    • Craft subreddit posts that follow specific community flair and self-promo rules.
    • Identify and remove AI "tells" and marketing hype from technical announcements.
    • Avoid bans by checking posts against community-specific removal risks.
