# Directory Desk > Paste the facts about your product (what it is, who it is for, competitors, integrations, beta users, email list, domain rating, launch day) and answer the directory-submissions skill's nine readiness questions. The browser says whether you are ready to submit, which of the 13 directory tiers the product shows a signal for, dates the Product Hunt prep calendar from the launch day and builds a tracker of 265 directories. A paid plan lane orders the submissions; a paid copy lane writes a different listing for each kind of directory. URL: https://directory-desk.skillsafe.ai/ API tutorial: https://directory-desk.skillsafe.ai/api.html ## Who it is for Founders and marketers at software companies planning the directory layer of a launch or an ongoing backlink campaign: Product Hunt, BetaList, G2, Capterra, AlternativeTo, SaaSHub, AI directories such as There's An AI For That and Futurepedia, MCP registries such as Glama, no-code directories, profile platforms, forums and niche verticals. They want to know whether they are ready, where to submit and in what order, which pages to build first, and what to paste into each form. ## The free check (in the browser, no model) - Product facts as labelled lines ("Competitors: ...", "Integrations: ...", "Beta users: 34", "Email list: 1,200", "DR: 12", "Referring domains: 9", "Launch date: 2026-10-27") or prose; the angles read from the words (AI, MCP, AI agents, no-code, developers, B2B, local, a niche vertical). - The skill's nine readiness questions: items 1-7 (publicly accessible, pricing page, privacy policy and terms, logo assets, screenshots and demo video, GEO-ready landing pages, alternative and use-case pages) are hard blocks; items 8-9 (template gallery or lead magnet, 20 beta users for reviews) are soft blocks. - The 13 tiers with the page's signal for each: flagship launch platforms, startup and SaaS directories, AI directories, agent and MCP registries, no-code directories, "best of" listicles, integration marketplaces, profile and content platforms, local directories, forums, press release sites, social bookmarking, niche verticals. - The Product Hunt prep calendar dated from the launch day (days -21, -14, -10, -7, -3, -1, launch day and day 2), a Tuesday-to-Thursday check, the 21-day warm-up check, the 10-in-30 review window and the next G2 report cut-off. - Flags DS-01..DS-12: hard block, soft block, unconfirmed items, weekend or Monday/Friday launch, launch under 21 days away, no launch day, no competitors, fewer than 20 users, an email list under 100, no domain rating baseline, a past launch day, a paid submission service. - Exports: the check as Markdown, the skill's submission tracker as CSV (filtered to the tiers that fit) and the prep calendar as an .ics file. ## The paid lanes (one system prompt, routed on `task`) - `plan`: the readiness verdict (not ready, ready with soft blocks, ready) and every block with its fix; a submit or skip decision for each of the 13 tiers, with quotes where the page read no signal; batches in order (before submitting, launch week, week 2, week 3, rolling) naming directories from the skill's catalog; the destination pages to build first (alternative pages for the named competitors, use-case pages, a template gallery, a "best of" post, integration pages); the Product Hunt decision and its eight dated steps; the review drive deadline; 3-6 KPI targets from the skill's table. - `copy`: one listing per directory surface asked for (startup, saas, ai, agent-mcp, no-code, dev, b2b-review), each opening on that surface's lead (outcome, alternative framing, AI-first architecture, agent/MCP angle, ease + power, technical depth, ROI + use case): a tagline under 10 words, a short description of at most 60 characters, a 90-170 word long description and 5-8 tags; a founder story from the facts; a Product Hunt description of at most 260 characters and a first comment that asks for feedback, never upvotes. Every reply is checked against the input: the readiness verdict and blocks, the 13 tiers, the batch order and catalog names, the calendar dates, the KPI values, the word and character limits, duplicate openings, sentences and tag sets, quotes word for word, and no invented figure, date or duration. ## Source Derived from the agent skill @coreyhaines31/directory-submissions (https://skillsafe.ai/skill/@coreyhaines31/directory-submissions), by Corey Haines, in coreyhaines31/marketingskills (MIT): https://github.com/coreyhaines31/marketingskills/tree/main/skills/directory-submissions - its three hard rules, readiness assessment, tiers, Product Hunt deep dive, reviews playbook, destination pages, KPI table and what not to do; and its references: references/directory-list.md, references/positioning-variations.md and references/submission-tracker-template.csv (the 265-directory catalog this page ships as data; domain ratings are the skill's approximate values).
