ph-safe-messaging_skill

Overview

This skill crafts Product Hunt–compliant outreach and public messages that rally support without risking platform penalties. It turns ordinary launch copy into language that avoids explicit vote requests, incentive schemes, and manipulative phrasing. Use it to produce emails, social posts, supporter briefings, and message reviews aligned with Product Hunt rules.

How this skill works

The skill inspects your original message for forbidden phrases, incentive language, timing risks, and spammy patterns. It reports specific issues, rewrites the message into a compliant version, and runs a checklist to confirm no explicit vote solicitations or reward-for-vote structures remain. Outputs include issue locations, a revised message, and a clear compliance status for easy copy-and-paste.

When to use it

• Preparing launch day emails or newsletter blasts
• Drafting social media announcements and updates
• Briefing supporters or collaborators on how to help
• Responding to offers like “How can I help?”
• Reviewing comments, direct messages, or community replies

Best practices

• Never include words that explicitly ask for upvotes; focus on feedback and discovery instead
• Personalize messages and avoid mass copy-paste to keep engagement authentic
• Offer value or context in outreach — explain why the product matters to the recipient
• Provide clear, platform-appropriate calls to action like “check it out” or “share your thoughts”
• Use the provided checklist before sending to catch incentive or timing red flags

Example use cases

• Convert a launch email that asks for votes into a compliant announcement that requests feedback
• Rewrite social posts that unintentionally promise rewards for voting into safe, community-friendly updates
• Produce supporter briefings that tell advocates what to do and what to avoid during launch day
• Generate ready-to-send responses for people who ask how they can help
• Audit comment drafts to ensure they are authentic and non-scripted
