Claude Code skill · anthropic · active
This skill generates Show HN posts tailored for technical audiences on HackerNews. It creates titles, post bodies, and content strategies that emphasize engineering choices and honest technical problems rather than marketing language.
Founders and builders launching technical products like SwarmTrade or ConsultantVoice who want to post on HackerNews and get serious engineer feedback instead of downvotes.
When you mention Show HN, HackerNews, HN post, post to HN, or launch on HackerNews in relation to a technical product or build.
- "Help me write a Show HN post for SwarmTrade"
- "I want to launch ConsultantVoice on HackerNews. What should the title be?"
- "Generate a HN post body that won't get downvoted"
You'll know it worked because the output avoids marketing words like revolutionary or game-changer, focuses on specific technical choices, and follows the Show HN title format with a hyphen instead of an em-dash.

}That means either: (a) the system has not had a task that matched its strengths, (b) a more cost-effective alternative was picked by the router, or (c) the related automation is toggled OFF on /automations. The Recommender reviews idle tools weekly and may suggest killing it.
