Skill Spotlight Publisher
Publish daily non-technical skill spotlights for solo founders from your catalog with voice-gate and draft fallback.
Overview
Skill Spotlight Publisher is an MCP server for the Grow phase that daily generates and optionally auto-publishes non-technical skill spotlight pages from your catalog with voice and scrubber gates.
What is this MCP server?
- Daily 09:00 CDT run with weighted random skill pick
- Prefers skills not spotlit in last 60 days and skills with measurable outcomes
- ~200-word explainer via local Ollama qwen3.5 from SOUL.md + SKILL.md
- Voice-gate (newsletter surface, threshold 70 HARD) plus scrubber HARD
- Auto-publish to site/skills/<slug>/spotlight.html or save drafts for review
- Schedule: daily 09:00 CDT
- Target copy length: ~200 words non-technical explainer
- Spotlight cooldown preference: skills not featured in last 60 days
What problem does it solve?
Great agent skills stay invisible because nobody has time to write approachable spotlight copy every day for non-technical founders.
Who is it for?
Indie builders with a skill catalog, local Ollama, and a site folder who want automated founder-facing skill storytelling.
Skip if: Builders without a public site path, those who refuse automated publish even with gates, or teams that only need internal docs.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get a steady stream of gated spotlight HTML and index entries—or reviewable drafts—without hand-writing each explainer.
- spotlight.html per selected skill slug when gates pass
- Index entry updates on auto-publish
- Draft files under data/skill-spotlights/drafts/ when gates fail
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Grow because the output is ongoing content that explains skills to founders and feeds discovery—not the initial build of the skill itself. Content subphase matches newsletter-style explainers, spotlight HTML pages, and index entries aimed at audience education.
How it compares
Scheduled content MCP publisher—not a generic blog CMS plugin or a skills.sh install counter.
