Overview

Platforms: GitHub Skill is an open-source Agent Skill from the kostja94/marketing-skills collection (MIT). It teaches AI coding agents focused marketing / SEO workflows so they can produce production-ready guidance instead of generic advice.

Guides GitHub for parasite SEO, GEO (AI citation), and curated list creation. GitHub is a Tier 2 Technical Authority platform—high domain authority, fast indexing, very high AI citation probability. Use for repos, README, GitHub Pages, gists, and Awesome-style navigation lists.

Changing a normal repo README does not change the profile banner unless that content is the profile README repo or linked from it.

Official skill id: github. Source path: skills/platforms/github.
