# SKILL: Show HN Technical Launch Copy
## Hacker News Principles
1. Never use buzzwords or hype. Replace "revolutionary platform" with "open-source CLI tool written in TypeScript".
2. Open with the technical problem and why existing solutions were insufficient.
3. Include an honest "Trade-offs & Limitations" section — engineers upvote honesty.
4. Format code snippets cleanly without extraneous explanation.
