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:

1. Product type — SaaS / open source / mobile app / consumer web / marketplace / dev tool
2. Growth stage — pre-launch / launch / post-launch cold start / growth / scale
3. Primary channel gap — content / community / paid / partnerships / product-led

Diagnostic routing logic

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
