Channels: Distribution Channels

Guides product distribution via third-party marketplaces and app stores. Distinct from directory-submission (curated lists, Product Hunt, Taaft)—marketplaces are storefronts where customers discover and purchase apps, plugins, or integrations. Hyperscaler marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP) alone are projected to process $85B+ in software sales by 2028.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Channel Types

Type Definition Examples
Direct Company sells via own assets Website, eCommerce, sales team
Indirect Third parties sell on your behalf Marketplaces, app stores, resellers

Marketplaces = Digital storefronts where customers discover and buy; often pre-approved budgets (cloud spend), consolidated billing, faster procurement.

Marketplace Categories

Category Platforms Product fit
Design & collaboration Figma Community, Canva Apps, Adobe Exchange Design tools, templates
Browser extensions Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons Extensions, dev tools
Cloud & enterprise AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace, Azure Marketplace SaaS, data, infra
Mobile App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store Mobile apps, cross-platform
Vertical Shopify App Store, Slack App Directory, Salesforce AppExchange, Zoom Marketplace E-commerce, collaboration, CRM
Developer GitHub Marketplace, WordPress Plugins Dev tools, integrations
AI GPTs (OpenAI), emerging AI app stores AI apps, agents
Social commerce Pinterest Product Pins E-commerce, design tools, templates; Product Schema or Pinterest Catalog

Listing Optimization

Practice Guideline
Reduce procurement friction Vendor Insights, standard contracts; streamline enterprise buying
Pricing models Free trials, pay-as-you-go, private offers for enterprise
Trust signals Verified reviews, partner badges, clear taxonomy

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a safe, instruction-only advisory tool for marketplace distribution. Before installing, note: (1) it has no code or installs so it cannot run binaries or write files, (2) it requests no credentials, so there is no direct exfiltration risk from the skill itself, and (3) as with any advisory skill, be cautious about following suggestions that require you to paste sensitive credentials into other systems — the skill may suggest actions that involve external accounts (marketplace dashboards, vendor portals). If you need automated actions (publishing, uploading artifacts), prefer skills that explicitly declare the necessary API credentials and review those requests carefully.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: distribution-channels Version: 1.1.0 The skill bundle consists of purely informational content and guidance for an AI agent regarding product distribution strategies and marketplace listings. There is no executable code, no network activity, and no instructions that attempt to exfiltrate data or compromise the system (SKILL.md, _meta.json).
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
Name/description (distribution channels and marketplace listing guidance) match the SKILL.md content. The skill is purely advisory and does not request unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths.
✓ Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are content and workflow guidance for distribution planning only; they do not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or transmit user data.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only; nothing is downloaded or written to disk.
✓ Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There is nothing disproportionate to its advisory role.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but is not combined with broad access or installs.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install distribution-channels
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /distribution-channels
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
