  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Gingiris-1031 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Developer Marketing Playbook AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Gingiris-1031/gingiris-skills/tree/main/skills/developer-marketing-playbook
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Gingiris-1031/gingiris-skills.git /tmp/gingiris-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/gingiris-skills/skills/developer-marketing-playbook .claude/skills/developer-marketing-playbook
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Developer Marketing Playbook in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Developer Marketing Playbook on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Developer Marketing Playbook is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Developer Marketing Playbook — DevRel, Docs & Community Funnels

🌍 Language / 语言: 中文 | English | 日本語 | 한국어

📦 Install

bash
clawhub install developer-marketing-playbook

What you get after installing:

  • Developer community building playbook (Discord/Slack/GitHub Discussions)
  • Technical content strategy for developer audiences
  • DevRel metrics framework (awareness → adoption → advocacy)

Engineers don't respond to traditional marketing. Here's what actually works.

  • DevRel program design: Roles, metrics, and activities that drive adoption
  • Docs as growth engine: How great documentation becomes your best acquisition channel
  • API experience: DX improvements that reduce time-to-first-API-call
  • Community funnels: Discord/Slack → contributor → champion → customer pipeline
  • Hackathon ROI: When hackathons work, how to run them, and measuring impact

Developer acquisition operating system

Stage 1 — reconstruct category history

Use Wayback snapshots for the competitor's first site, beta site and first major launch. For each stage record positioning, page depth, use cases, navigation/pricing changes, and when SEO/community investment began. This prevents copying a mature competitor's current channel mix into a zero-to-one product.

Stage 2 — benchmark the best channel operator

Do not benchmark every channel against the same competitor. Use the category leader for site/positioning, then select the strongest operator per channel. Track official, founder, DevRel and creator accounts; separate beta cadence, launch-week bursts and steady-state programs.

Required research row:

brand | channel | date | format | category | URL | content framework | views/engagement | campaign membership | CTA

Stage 3 — convert docs into adoption

Measure docs on landing → quick start → first successful call/deploy → second session, not pageviews alone. Every launch packet must include a tested quick start, error recovery, deploy path, reference docs, examples and a community/support next step.

Stage 4 — ecosystem campaign

For an enterprise/open-source campaign, coordinate README, comparison article, ecosystem partners/sponsors, relevant backlinks, community posts and DevRel follow-up. Report impressions and stars separately from activated developers and qualified accounts.

Stage 5 — interview and iterate

Run 1:1 interviews with activated and bounced developers. Ask them to screen-share the workflow, identify the first "aha", and show what they already pay for. If acquisition rises but activation stays below target, pause distribution and fix the product/docs path.

Source framework: Iris competitor-research wiki and open-source global-operations deck supplied for this skill update.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Developer Marketing Playbook AI skill do?

Complete developer marketing playbook covering DevRel programs, documentation as marketing, API developer experience, community building, and hackathon strategy. For dev-tool founders who need to reach engineers. Follow @WeiYipei on X.

Why use Developer Marketing Playbook on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Developer Marketing Playbook is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Developer Marketing Playbook in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Gingiris-1031/gingiris-skills/tree/main/skills/developer-marketing-playbook. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Developer Marketing Playbook?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Developer Marketing Playbook?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Developer Marketing Playbook with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Developer Marketing Playbook AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Gingiris-1031 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
