+## 1. Hacker News — Show HN
+
+**Title** (keep it factual, no hype — HN punishes marketing speak):
+> Show HN: 174 open-source AI "skills" that make Claude/ChatGPT produce real work
+
+**Body:**
+> I'm a PM, and I kept hitting the same wall: ask any AI for a PRD, an exec update, or
+> a launch plan and you get generic filler you have to rewrite. The model doesn't know
+> what "good" looks like for professional work.
+>
+> So I built a library of structured `SKILL.md` files — each one teaches the AI the
+> actual structure, rigour, and judgement a senior professional uses. There are 174 now,
+> spanning PM, engineering, design, data, legal, finance, HR, sales, marketing and more.
+>
+> They run natively in Claude Code, and ship as copy-paste prompts for ChatGPT and Gemini.
+> There's a browser Playground where you can run any skill with your own API key — no
+> install: [link]
+>
+> It's MIT-licensed. The skills are small and meant to be forked and adapted. Feedback
+> and PRs welcome — especially on which skills are weakest.
+
+*Reply fast to every comment for the first 2 hours; that drives ranking.*

+## 2. Product Hunt
+
+**Name:** PM Skills — 174 AI agent skills for every profession
+**Tagline:** Turn any AI into a senior PM, engineer, or analyst
+**Description:**
+> 174 open-source skills that teach Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to produce
+> professional-grade work — PRDs, exec updates, roadmaps, postmortems, contracts and
+> more. One source, every AI tool. Try any skill in the browser, no install.
+
+**First comment (maker):**
+> Hey PH 👋 I'm Mohit. I built this because AI gives you *plausible* professional docs
+> that are 80% there and 100% generic. Each skill encodes how a senior pro actually
+> structures the work, so the first draft is shippable. Free, MIT, and there's a live
+> Playground so you can try one in 30 seconds: [link]. Would love to know which skill
+> you'd want next.

+
+**1/**
+> Ask AI for a PRD and you get generic filler you rewrite anyway.
+>
+> So I built 174 open-source "skills" that teach Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini how senior pros
+> actually work.
+>
+> Free. MIT. Try any in your browser 👇
+> [attach demo GIF]
+
+**2/**
+> Each skill is a structured SKILL.md — the real framework behind a PRD, exec update,
+> RICE prioritisation, competitor teardown, postmortem, etc.
+>
+> Not a prompt. A repeatable recipe for "good."
+
+**3/**
+> Covers 18 professions: PM, engineering, design, data, legal, finance, HR, sales,
+> marketing, research, ops…
+>
+> One library, the whole arc of professional work:
+> Discover → Decide → Build → Ship → Measure → Communicate.
+
+**4/**
+> Runs natively in Claude Code (`/plugin marketplace add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills`),
+> and exports as copy-paste prompts for ChatGPT + Gemini.
+
+**5/**
+> Try one right now — no install, runs in the browser with your own key:

+## 4. Reddit (r/ClaudeAI, r/ChatGPTCoding, r/ProductManagement)
+
+**Title:** I open-sourced 174 AI "skills" that make Claude/ChatGPT produce real professional work (PRDs, exec updates, etc.)
+
+**Body:**
+> Sharing a free project I've been building. Ask AI for professional docs and you get
+> something generic you have to redo. These are 174 structured `SKILL.md` files that
+> teach the model the actual structure and judgement behind the work — PRDs, roadmaps,
+> postmortems, competitor teardowns, contracts, and more across 18 professions.
+>
+> Runs in Claude Code, and there's a browser Playground to try any skill instantly with
+> your own key (no install). MIT-licensed, PRs welcome.

+> Repo: [link] · Playground: [link]

+## 5. LinkedIn
+
+> AI gives you professional docs that are 80% there and 100% generic.
+>
+> I spent months encoding how senior pros *actually* do the work — PRDs, exec updates,
+> prioritisation, launch plans — into 174 open-source AI skills. They make Claude,
+> ChatGPT, and Gemini produce a first draft you can ship, not redo.
+>
+> Free, MIT-licensed, and there's a browser playground to try any of them in 30 seconds.
