What it does
The repository combines two skills for submitting a product to directories, four writing skills and a list of 743 link platforms. `SPD V1 Batch` works through a large URL queue with deduplication, sharding and resume after failure. `SPD V2 Quality` submits at most 10 sites at a time, asks permission for each action and keeps evidence. The `writer`, `linkedin-writer`, `medium-writer` and `wechat-writer` skills prepare articles to a platform's rules and assemble a publishing package. They publish nothing themselves: signing in, uploading images and posting remain separate permissions.
Who it is for. Founders and SEO specialists who promote their own product and want Codex to handle the routine of directory submissions. Checking the result stays with them.
Good fit when
- Launching a new product: a listing must go into dozens of directories with one description.
- A queue of hundreds of URLs broke off at a captcha, and sent entries must be told apart from unsent ones.
- An article for Medium or LinkedIn is written to the rules of a specific section.
- The directory list is months old and needs rechecking before a new wave.
Not a fit when
- You expect guaranteed indexing, dofollow links, traffic or rankings: the author promises none.
- You want one text mass-posted to every site: the skills are built on the opposite approach.
- Articles would go live without a human reading them: the package prepares a draft, not a final post.
Example request
Use $submit-product-directories-v2-quality: check 10 directories from my list, submit the product and record status and evidence for each.Limitations
The list of 743 platforms is not a catalogue of free options: it includes closed, paid, reciprocal-link and unverified sites. Before a run, Codex must recheck each site. Captchas, Turnstile, 2FA and email confirmation are passed by a human, and the skills use neither proxies nor stealth browsing to get around them. The skills target Codex and need adapting for other agents. Submissions go through your browser profile and accounts, so passwords and codes must never be written into the task log.
How to disable. Delete the copied skill folders from the Codex skills directory. Accounts created on platforms for submissions and listings already placed must be closed by hand on the sites themselves.
FAQ
How do V1 and V2 differ?
V1 Batch is built for a large queue and speed with resume after failures. V2 Quality takes up to 10 sites at a time, asks permission for each action and checks platform quality.
What happens at a captcha?
The skill hands the captcha to you and continues after you pass it. Answer guessing, stealth browsing and fingerprint spoofing are not used.
Do the writing skills publish right away?
No. They prepare the text and a publishing package. Signing in and posting need separate permission.
Does the set guarantee search results?
No. The authors promise neither indexing, nor dofollow, nor traffic, nor rankings.
What is the license?
MIT. The platform list is in `Free-backlink-list.md`, and the README exists in 19 languages, including Russian.
