MarketingSkills is an open-source repository of 44+ markdown-based agent skills that give AI coding assistants specialized knowledge across conversion optimization, copywriting, SEO, paid distribution, analytics, and growth engineering. Built by indie developer Corey Haines, the skills plug into any agent that supports the Agent Skills spec — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex, and more. Each skill is a structured markdown file that teaches the agent when and how to apply specific marketing frameworks. Skills cover everything from CRO-optimized landing pages and email drip sequences to AI search optimization, referral programs, churn prevention, and pricing strategy. Installation takes seconds via the CLI or Claude Code plugin. What makes this stand out is the intersection of marketing craft and agentic tooling — rather than a generic AI marketing SaaS, MarketingSkills turns your existing coding agent into a growth-aware collaborator that understands when you're working on a conversion flow versus a content calendar and applies the right playbook automatically. The repo hit 24k GitHub stars and is trending hard today.
Reviewer scorecard
“React hooks for real-time presence, cursors, and collaborative editing. Makes adding multiplayer features trivial.”
“Brilliant distribution play — package domain expertise as agent skills and suddenly your coding agent understands CRO best practices. The CLI install and Agent Skills spec compatibility mean you're up in 30 seconds. Already replacing half my Notion marketing runbooks.”
“Building real-time collaboration from scratch is brutal. Liveblocks abstracts the hard parts with a clean API.”
“Markdown skills are ultimately prompt engineering in a fancy folder. There's no enforcement mechanism to ensure the agent actually applies them correctly, and marketing advice that worked in 2024 may already be stale. Blind trust in 44 'best practices' without testing is a recipe for cargo-culting.”
“Every SaaS app will add real-time collaboration. Liveblocks is the infrastructure layer that makes it practical.”
“This is the beginning of skill ecosystems as the new SaaS moat. Instead of building apps, domain experts will package expertise as agent skills and sell via marketplaces. MarketingSkills is an early proof of concept for a massive coming wave.”
“Finally an AI tool that speaks marketer, not just developer. Having an agent that knows punch-up copywriting, kinetic email sequences, and launch playbooks from the same terminal as my code is exactly how solo founders need to operate in 2026.”
