Product Hunt Search — CLI Skill

Search public Product Hunt launches through vernclaw-cli and return normalized product evidence rows.

When to Use

  • Find Product Hunt launches for competitor and market research
  • Collect normalized launch rows before writing startup or product reports
  • Compare launch positioning, topics, makers, votes, and comments for a keyword

Prerequisites

npm i -g vernclaw-connect-cli

Authentication

Before using this skill, verify you are authenticated:

vernclaw-cli status

If not authenticated, run:

vernclaw-cli login
# or for CI/CD:
vernclaw-cli login --api-key YOUR_KEY

Invocation

vernclaw-cli invoke search.producthunt --query "AI coding agent" --limit 5
vernclaw-cli invoke search.producthunt --query "launch analytics" --limit 10 --from-date 2026-06-01 --to-date 2026-06-09

Parameters

| Flag | Required | Description | | ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | --query | Yes | Product Hunt search query | | --limit | No | Number of launches to return | | --from-date | No | Lower date bound in YYYY-MM-DD | | --to-date | No | Upper date bound in YYYY-MM-DD | | --sort | No | One of featured_at, votes, comments, or recent |

Output

The invoke command prints compact JSON to stdout by default:

{"status":200,"data":{}}
  • Parse the numeric status first; 2xx means the request succeeded, and non-2xx means the agent should inspect the error payload.
  • data contains a normalized summary, stats, and compact items rows with rank, name, tagline, direct product_url, producthunt_url, public votes, comments, and featured timestamp when available.
  • product_url is resolved to the direct product website when Product Hunt provides a redirect URL; unresolved product URLs are returned as null.
  • --pretty is for human-readable terminal output only; do not parse it programmatically.
  • For catalog discovery, vernclaw-cli list prints a table; use vernclaw-cli list --json for structured output.
  • The CLI omits provider raw payloads from normal connector output.

Execution mode: synchronous.

Limits: Product Hunt API v2 does not expose global post full-text search, so Vernclaw filters fetched public launches by keyword. Effective Product Hunt page size is capped at 20.

Workflow

# 1. Check authentication
vernclaw-cli status

# 2. Search Product Hunt launches
vernclaw-cli invoke search.producthunt --query "AI coding agent" --limit 5

# 3. Parse JSON response and use data.items as launch evidence rows
