Release Promotion Post Generator (promote)
Turns a release tag into a data-verified X/Twitter thread plus a CodeSnap-ready ASCII stats card.

What it does
- Run
/promote vX.Y.Zand it collects metrics with real commands (git diff --stat, skill/agent counts, eval scores, CHANGELOG entries) instead of estimating. - Builds an exactly 72-character-wide Unicode box-drawing card and verifies alignment with a Python width check.
- Writes a 3–5 tweet thread using a hook → findings → details → CTA structure, with strict no-hype, numbers-first voice rules.
- Emits the exact CodeSnap CLI command to render the card as a dark-theme PNG for tweet 1.
- Adds a Fact-Check section tying every claim to a command or file:line, marking anything unprovable as UNVERIFIED.
- Includes bundling heuristics: standalone post, bundle with next release, or skip entirely.
Who it's for
- Maintainers who announce open-source plugin or library releases on X.
- Indie devs and DevRel folks who want promo copy backed by verifiable metrics.
- Anyone keeping a consistent visual format (ASCII stat cards) across releases.
Examples
/promote v2.8.0 "LiveView Streams Overhaul"→ ASCII card with before/after table plus a 5-tweet draft.- Run it on a tiny patch release → get advised to skip and bundle it with the next one.
- Execute the generated CodeSnap command to produce the PNG card and attach it to the first tweet.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .claude/skills/promote folder from the GitHub repo oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix into my ~/.claude/skills/promote/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix.git /tmp/claude-elixir-phoenix && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/claude-elixir-phoenix/.claude/skills/promote ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix.git - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r claude-elixir-phoenix/.claude/skills/promote ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm
references/templates.mdcame along — it holds the card and tweet templates. - For image rendering, install the CodeSnap CLI and prepare a
scratchpad/x-posts/codesnap-claude-dark.jsonconfig. - Edit the metric-gathering commands in SKILL.md (
ls plugins/elixir-phoenix/...,make eval-all) to match your own project layout. - Restart Claude Code and try
/promote v1.0.0to verify it works.
