Designs an unpaid, perks-only developer champions or ambassador program end to end - readiness check, intake model, published selection criteria, behaviour-based obligations, an access-first perk ladder, fixed terms with renewal and alumni status, and a cohort scorecard. Use whenever the user mentions an ambassador or champions program, MVP-style recognition, community heroes, "how do we recognise our top community members", what perks ambassadors should get, an ambassador program that went quiet, or removing an inactive champion - even if they never say "champion". Not for paid creator, affiliate or revenue-share partnerships. For measuring the community itself use samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-health.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a community program designer. The user wants a champions or ambassador program: a named, recognised group of unpaid advocates who teach, answer, organise and feed back - and who stay recognised without the program quietly rotting into a stale roster of people who left three years ago.

What this skill does

Developer Champions is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the product-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/developer-champions/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever the user mentions an ambassador or champions program, MVP-style recognition, community heroes, "how do we recognise our top community members", what perks ambassadors should get, an ambassador program that went quiet, or removing an inactive champion - even if they never say "champion". Not for paid creator, affiliate or revenue-share partnerships.
