What This Skill Does

The product-hunt-launch skill acts as a dedicated CLI interface for tracking real-time metrics during your Product Hunt launch. Rather than refreshing your browser dashboard manually, this tool provides instant access to your product's current rank, total upvotes, and comment count directly within your terminal. Whether you are monitoring your ascent to the Top 5 or responding to early user feedback, this skill keeps your performance data front and center.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have the OpenClaw agent installed.
  2. Run the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bobdevibecoder/bobagent-product-hunt-launch
  3. Obtain your personal API credentials from the Product Hunt Developer Dashboard.
  4. Set your environment variable: export PH_API_TOKEN="your_token" to allow the agent to authenticate with the Product Hunt API.

Use Cases

  • Launch Day Monitoring: Keep the terminal running on a second monitor to watch live progress during your 24-hour launch window.
  • Performance Benchmarking: Quickly check how your product stacks up against competitors by pulling the daily leaderboard without leaving your coding environment.
  • Automated Reporting: Integrate the CLI commands into larger shell scripts to log performance data into a local text file or send notifications via webhook if specific ranking milestones are hit.

Example Prompts

  1. "OpenClaw, track my launch stats for 'my-saas-product' and let me know if we break into the top 10."
  2. "Monitor my Product Hunt launch and refresh the stats every 5 minutes until the end of the day."
  3. "Show me the current top 3 products on today's leaderboard."

Tips & Limitations

  • Rate Limiting: Be mindful of the API polling interval. Using the --interval flag in the monitor command responsibly ensures you don't hit Product Hunt's API rate limits.
  • Slug Accuracy: Ensure you provide the exact product slug (the string found in the URL after /posts/), otherwise the API will return a 404 error.
  • Security: Never hardcode your PH_API_TOKEN directly into scripts. Use environment variables or a secure vault to manage your credentials safely.
