Distribution is the canonical shelf because the skill answers “how do I promote and grow?”—the primary trigger is go-to-market motion, not code. Distribution covers channel selection, promotion tactics, and launch-adjacent growth plays the 140 ideas catalog is organized to support.
Where it fits
Narrow which marketing angles fit a micro-SaaS before you commit build scope.
Choose 3–5 launch channels such as glossary SEO or niche keyword content for week one.
Pick content-led tactics like public SEO audits to compound organic traffic.
Map easy-keyword and long-tail SEO ideas to pages you can ship without a large team.
How it compares
Structured idea catalog and sizing heuristics—not a single-channel automation or MCP ad platform integration.
