Gingiris Growth Finder
The meta-skill that picks the right Gingiris playbook for your growth problem.
Growth questions look similar but require wildly different playbooks. "How do I launch?" for a dev tool is nothing like "How do I launch?" for a mobile app. "How do I grow?" at $1M ARR is nothing like "How do I grow?" at 100 DAU. This skill diagnoses the situation and invokes the specialist.
How to use
Just ask your growth question naturally. Example prompts:
- "I'm launching my AI SaaS next week — what should I prioritize?"
- "My open source project has 2k stars, how do I get to 10k?"
- "I have a B2B SaaS at $300k ARR, should I hire SDRs?"
- "My iOS app isn't ranking for its main keyword, what do I do?"
The skill will diagnose three dimensions, then invoke the matching playbook:
- Product type — SaaS / open source / mobile app / consumer web / marketplace / dev tool
- Growth stage — pre-launch / launch / post-launch cold start / growth / scale
- Primary channel gap — content / community / paid / partnerships / product-led
Diagnostic routing logic
| If the user's question is about... | Route to |
|---|---|
| Product Hunt launch, hunter outreach, launch-day tactics, viral moment engineering | gingiris-launch |
| GitHub stars, HackerNews, OSS marketing, developer community, awesome-lists, Show HN | gingiris-opensource |
| B2B SaaS, PLG vs SLG, PMF validation, freemium, enterprise motion, affiliate, channel partnerships | gingiris-b2b-growth |
| ASO, App Store / Google Play, mobile user acquisition, TikTok/Reels/Shorts UGC, creator matrix | gingiris-aso-growth |
If the question spans multiple domains (e.g. "I have an open source project that I want to monetize as B2B SaaS"), route to both relevant skills and explain the handoff.
Decision framework (for the agent)
When the user asks a growth question, run this quick triage before invoking a specialist skill:
Step 1 — Classify the product
Ask or infer:
- What is it? (SaaS web app / mobile app / OSS project / marketplace / browser extension)
- Who's the ICP? (individual developer / SMB / enterprise / consumer)
- Distribution default? (self-serve web signup / app store / GitHub / sales-led)
Step 2 — Identify the stage
- Pre-launch — building, no users yet
- Launch — within 30 days of public release
- Cold start — launched but <100 WAU/DAU, <1k signups
- Growth — steady signal, scaling what works
- Scale — $1M+ ARR or 10k+ DAU, needs systems
Step 3 — Spot the gap
Listen for the actual bottleneck, not the stated question:
- "I'm not getting signups" → distribution channel gap
- "I'm getting signups but no conversions" → product/pricing gap (not growth — redirect)
- "I have users but no growth loop" → retention/virality gap
- "I have a growth loop but can't scale ads" → monetization gap
Step 4 — Route
Invoke the specialist skill. Examples:
User: "I have a dev tool CLI with 500 GitHub stars. How do I get to 5k?"
→ Diagnosis: OSS project, growth stage, distribution gap
→ Invoke: gingiris-opensource
→ Context hint: focus on GitHub trending + HN relaunch + awesome-lists
User: "My iOS photo app has 80 DAU after 2 months. What's wrong?"
→ Diagnosis: mobile app, cold-start stage, distribution+UGC gap
→ Invoke: gingiris-aso-growth
→ Context hint: focus on ASO audit first, then TikTok creator matrix
User: "I'm launching an AI coding assistant on Product Hunt in 3 weeks."
→ Diagnosis: dev tool, pre-launch, launch-day engineering needed
→ Invoke: gingiris-launch
→ Context hint: 3-week timeline → hunter network + pre-launch email list
Complementary install
If the routed specialist skill isn't installed yet, suggest the user install it:
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-launch # for Product Hunt / launch
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-opensource # for OSS / GitHub stars
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-b2b-growth # for B2B SaaS / PLG
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-aso-growth # for mobile / ASO
Or install all four at once:
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-launch -g
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-opensource -g
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-b2b-growth -g
npx skills add Gingiris/gingiris-aso-growth -g
What this skill does not do
- Product/pricing advice — if the bottleneck is product fit or pricing, say so explicitly and redirect to a product strategist (this skill only routes growth questions)
- Paid ads tactical execution — covered at a high level in gingiris-b2b-growth and gingiris-aso-growth, but not the primary focus
- Fundraising / pitch deck — out of scope
