About this skill
Developer Community Post Drafter helps builders, founders, and open-source maintainers write authentic posts for developer, founder, product, AI, and SaaS communities without sounding like an advertisement. It turns an idea, tool, launch, question, case study, lesson learned, or feedback request into a post that respects each community's norms, offering title options, honest framing, genuine value for readers, soft calls to action, and platform-specific tone adjustments for places like Reddit, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, Discord, Slack, and GitHub Discussions. It actively avoids spam, fake hype, fake personas, and manipulative promotion, and will rewrite overly promotional drafts into something more useful and discussion-worthy. This makes it especially valuable for people sharing their own projects who want to be helpful first and promotional second, while staying mindful that every community has its own rules worth checking before posting.
What it does
This skill takes an idea, tool, launch, question, case study, problem, or lesson learned and turns it into a community-ready post, producing title options, a platform-adapted draft, a soft call to action, and a self-promotion risk check, while steering away from hype, invented proof, and anything that reads as spam or manipulation.

Examples
I built PiSkill, a free AI skills and prompts library. I want to ask an AI builder community on Reddit for feedback. I do not want the post to sound like an ad. The website is free and all resources are created by PiSkill Team. Please make it honest and community-friendly.
Title option: I'm building a free AI skills library — what would make it actually useful for builders? Post: I'm working on PiSkill, a free library for AI skills and prompts. The idea is to keep it curated instead of allowing random public uploads, so every resource is created and reviewed by the PiSkill Team. I'm trying to understand what would make a resource library genuinely useful for people building with AI tools, not just another directory. What would you want to see in a good AI skills library? Would examples, compatible tools, downloadable files, or request-based skill creation be most useful? I'm happy to share the link if allowed by the rules, but mainly looking for honest feedback on the idea and structure.
