GitHub High-Star Optimizer v1.2.0 — automated external distribution

GitHub High-Star Optimizer v1.2.0

Distribution Mode

This release adds dry-run-first external distribution automation while preserving the project’s no-code-change and no-engagement-manipulation boundaries.

Added

• Standard-library campaign publisher with dry-run as the default.
• Explicit --execute --confirm <campaign-id> gate for live mutations.
• DEV/Forem, Hashnode, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Discord, Slack, Telegram, and approved generic-webhook adapters.
• Assisted copy/open queue for Product Hunt, Hacker News, Reddit, V2EX, Juejin, Zhihu, and other rule-sensitive forums.
• Browser-assisted prefill guidance that can reduce manual work to final review/submit while preserving exact-destination authorization.
• Credential references through environment-variable names only.
• HTTPS enforcement, redirect refusal, credential redaction, bounded transient retries, per-target continuation, and maximum-target cap.
• Persistent idempotency state that skips an already successful identical payload and blocks changed-content reuse by default.
• JSON and Markdown results plus a local HTML review queue.
• Reusable distribution manifest template and full automation reference.
• Distribution capability synchronized across all 15 README languages.
• Local behavior tests using simulated endpoints; no external platform was contacted during validation.

Boundaries

• No target-project source code, dependency, build, test, CI, runtime, API, storage, permission, or behavior changes.
• No automated Stars, votes, follows, reviews, comments, account creation, CAPTCHA bypass, or community-rule evasion.
• Live destination setup still requires the user’s authorized accounts, tokens, webhooks, and exact campaign approval.

自动渠道包括 DEV、Hashnode、Mastodon、LinkedIn、Discord、Slack、Telegram 和通用 Webhook；Product Hunt、Hacker News、Reddit、V2EX、掘金、知乎等规则敏感平台使用辅助发布队列。

新增凭据脱敏、HTTPS 强制、防重定向、有限重试、幂等防重复、逐平台结果记录和模拟端点测试。仍然不修改目标项目代码，也不自动刷 Star、点赞、关注、评论或评价。

GitHub High-Star Optimizer v1.1.0 — cross-agent Quickstart and naming audit

GitHub High-Star Optimizer v1.1.0 — cross-agent Quickstart and naming discovery audit

This release makes the Skill portable across documented Agent Skills hosts and adds a complete repository naming and GitHub search discoverability workflow, without changing any product code.

Highlights

Codex, Claude Code, and portable Agent Skills setup

• Added a canonical cross-agent compatibility contract based on the Agent Skills standard.
• Added exact Codex and Claude Code personal/project locations and invocation syntax.
• Added installer-assisted and manual Quickstart paths for Windows PowerShell and macOS/Linux.
• Kept one canonical Skill package instead of duplicating platform-specific copies.
• Clarified that host format compatibility does not guarantee GitHub, browser, image-generation, shell, or publishing capabilities.

Codex structure is locally validated. Claude Code’s official Skill structure and paths are documented, but this release has not been runtime-tested in a local Claude Code installation.

Repository naming and search discoverability

• Added a 100-point naming scorecard covering user intent, natural wording, truthful scope, search-field coverage, distinctiveness, cross-host invocation, and rename cost.
• Added dated live-query sampling for name, description, Topics, README, category, task, and ecosystem terms.
• Added risk checks for prestige or manipulation-adjacent terms such as high-star, trending, and guaranteed-growth wording.
• Added descriptive, scope-led, brand-plus-descriptor, and keep-current candidate families.
• Added a rename migration map covering repository settings, remotes, Skill names, invocation examples, localizations, badges, releases, assets, packages, Actions, Pages, and external links.
• Added a reusable NAMING_AUDIT.template.md.

The live repository has not been renamed. Naming analysis remains read-only until a user explicitly approves the final migration payload.

Public documentation

• Replaced the vague three-step Quickstart with copy-ready Codex and Claude Code instructions.
• Added docs/INSTALLATION.md with discovery verification and existing-installation safeguards.
• Synchronized all 15 localized README introductions with cross-agent compatibility and naming/search capability.
• Kept English as the canonical localization source; translated pages still await fluent human review.

中文说明

本版本把 Skill 扩展为一份可移植的 Agent Skills 核心包：Codex 和 Claude Code 使用同一个 SKILL.md、参考资料和模板，只是安装目录与显式调用语法不同。新增的安装文档覆盖 Codex 安装器、Windows PowerShell、macOS/Linux、个人级与项目级安装，以及其他兼容 Agent Skills 宿主的保守兼容说明。

本版本还把“仓库命名与搜索可发现性”加入正式工作流：先采样当前 GitHub 搜索，再比较保留原名与改名候选，评估自然语言、搜索意图、误导风险、重名和迁移成本。不会因为名称评分而自动改名，也不会承诺搜索排名或 Star 数量。

Breaking changes

None. The Skill name and existing Codex invocation remain $github-high-star-optimizer.

Current limitations

• Claude Code compatibility is based on its current official Agent Skills structure and has not been runtime-tested in this workspace.
• Other hosts are described as format-compatible only; install locations and capabilities must be verified per host.
• GitHub search samples are dated observations and do not guarantee future ranking, Stars, adoption, or launch results.
• Localized READMEs have not yet been reviewed by fluent human reviewers.

Install and verify

See the installation guide.

• README Hero, GitHub Social Preview, and Release artwork based on the documented workflow rather than fictional product screens.
• MIT licensing.

中文说明

这是 GitHub 高星发布优化器的首次公开版本。它帮助真实、已有的项目改善定位、README、视觉素材、GitHub 元数据、Release Notes、多语言介绍和合规发布节奏，同时严格禁止修改源码、依赖、构建、测试、CI、运行配置或产品行为。

Breaking changes

None. This is the initial public release.

Current limitations

• The Skill improves publishing quality but does not guarantee Stars, Trending placement, adoption, or launch rank.
• Localized READMEs were generated for this release and have not yet been reviewed by fluent human reviewers; the English README is canonical.
• GitHub and external community rules can change and must be rechecked before future publishing actions.

Install

Clone the repository, then copy the inner github-high-star-optimizer directory into the Skills directory configured for your Codex environment.
