Does this skill automatically submit my product to Product Hunt for me?

No, this skill is designed to generate a complete, platform-compliant launch kit. You will still need to manually upload the generated assets and copy to the Product Hunt submission form yourself.

How does this skill help me avoid being flagged or penalized by Product Hunt?

This skill follows Product Hunt's strict community guidelines to ensure your launch feels organic. It avoids 'hype-heavy' marketing language and 'vote-begging' tactics that often lead to products being flagged or demoted by the platform's algorithm.

What specific assets are included in the generated launch kit?

You will receive a structured kit containing five optimized taglines, a 260-character description, a 6-slot gallery storyboard, a narrative-driven maker comment, and a minute-by-minute launch day checklist.

Is the skill updated for the latest Product Hunt algorithm changes?

Yes, the skill is updated regularly to reflect changes in Product Hunt’s submission requirements, such as character limit updates, new category tags, and evolving community standards for maker engagement.

Do I need to have my images and videos ready before using this skill?

While the skill provides a visual plan and storyboard for your gallery, you will need to provide the actual images or videos. The skill helps you decide exactly what content should go on each slide to maximize conversion.

Product Hunt Launch: Tagline, Gallery & Day-of Plan

I have prepared your full Product Hunt launch kit for GitAudit. This includes the metadata, gallery sequence, and an engagement strategy that complies with community guidelines.

Product Hunt Launch Kit: GitAudit

Taglines (Recommended: Option 3)

Stop paying for cloud resources you forgot you owned. (53 ch)
Scan repo history to find and kill zombie cloud spend. (52 ch)
Find unused cloud infrastructure in your commit history. (53 ch)
Cut your AWS bill by identifying orphaned resources. (50 ch)
Automated cloud cost auditing via your GitHub history. (52 ch)

Product Details

Description: GitAudit scans your repository history to identify abandoned cloud resources that are still costing you money. Ideal for DevOps teams cleaning up after rapid scaling. Connect your repo, run the scan, and get a list of orphaned assets in minutes.

Topics: Developer Tools, Cloud Computing, SaaS

Gallery Plan
1.

The Hook: Image showing a "Total Waste Found" dashboard with a $1,240/mo figure. Caption: "Find thousands in hidden cloud waste."
2. The Core: Screenshot of the main scan results page listing specific orphaned AWS/GCP resources.
3. How it Works: 3-step diagram: 1. Connect Repo -> 2. Analyze History -> 3. Get Cleanup List.
4. Differentiator: Side-by-side comparison of manual auditing vs. GitAudit's automated historical scan.
5. Pricing: "Clear ROI: $19/mo to save hundreds."
6. Video: 60-second walkthrough showing a repo connection and the resulting audit.

Maker Comment
Hi Product Hunt! I'm the maker of GitAudit. I built this after finding a stray RDS instance from a hackathon project that cost me $400 over six months. I realized that while modern tools monitor current spend, they often miss the 'how' and 'why' of how resources were orphaned in the git history.

GitAudit is currently focused on AWS and GCP. It doesn't support Azure yet, and it requires read-access to your repos to function. I’d love to know: for those managing multiple projects, what’s the biggest barrier to performing regular infrastructure audits?

Launch Day Schedule

00:01 PT: Post launch and the Maker Comment above.
01:00 PT: Share on Twitter/LinkedIn using a UTM link; ask for feedback, not upvotes.
Every 90m: Check the thread and reply to every technical question.
20:00 PT: Post a 'Lessons Learned' update on your social channels.

Next steps

Verify the current image dimension requirements on the Product Hunt 'New Post' page.
Record the 60-second demo video focusing on the 'Scan' result screen.
Prepare your UTM links for social sharing to track traffic source.

About this skill

Prepare every text field and the day-of routine. The product's own quality and the maker's honest engagement drive results; nothing here games the ranking.

When to use it: Use it when you mention Product Hunt, "PH launch", or "ship on Product Hunt".

What you get

All fields above, ready to paste, plus a short checklist of assets to export at the sizes Product Hunt currently requires (tell the user to confirm current sizes on the submission form, since they change).

Works with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Claude.ai Projects, Cursor, Codex CLI and any agent that reads SKILL.md. Markdown only: no scripts, no network access, no API keys.

Install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ and restart Claude Code, then describe your situation and the skill loads by itself.
