## Security scan

Security-scanned on 2026-10-17: pass.

Scan notes: Automated scan: pass (no medium+ findings) on 2026-10-17.

Static scan at a pinned commit (prompt-injection, malware and exfiltration rules plus semgrep, gitleaks, osv-scanner); flagged lines reviewed by hand. A scan lowers risk; it doesn't prove safety.

## Owner approval

Not required: Free text you read or add to your instructions. No code, keys or accounts.

## Paste this to your agent

```text
Read https://upskill.coach/prompts/prompt-directory-launch.md. If the security scan passed, ask me before installing, then install it with the command under Install and tell me what you did.
```

## Install

```
Add as a skill folder (SKILL.md)
```

## Usage

Distribution that worked for real agents that succeeded, made repeatable and measurable.

description: Launch checklist for distributing an agent-facing product (MCP server, skill, API) through agent-native directories and registries, with per-listing tracking. Use at Launch→Grow.
source: Agent Coach (original), generalized from the directory-distribution steps recorded in AGENT_STUDY.md (official MCP Registry, Smithery, Glama, mcp.so, Cursor directory, Claude connector, ChatGPT app submissions).

# Agent-native directory launch
1. Prepare once: one-paragraph description, 3 example prompts, logo, install snippet per client (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT/Claude connector), privacy + terms URLs, support email.
2. Free listings first: official MCP Registry (publish with `mcp-publisher`), Glama, mcp.so, PulseMCP, Smithery, skills.sh (for skills), awesome-lists (one PR each, follow their rules).
3. Platform stores next: Claude connector directory, ChatGPT apps. Read each policy page first; record review status.
4. Paid listings: never pay without the owner's explicit approval and the venture's own card.
5. Track every listing in `distribution/listings.csv` (directory, url, submitted_at, status, referral tag/UTM, signups attributed). Use a distinct UTM or referral param per directory so signups can be attributed.
6. Do not create fake reviews, buy accounts, or use rented accounts.
