Turn a decent repo into a star-magnet — READMEs, topics, SEO-friendly descriptions, and repo presentation tuned for discoverability.
A Claude Code skill focused on the marketing layer of open-source: README clarity, topics and keywords, description one-liners, header images, demo gifs. Doesn't write your code, makes sure the world can find and understand what your code does.
