hire

markfulton/ai-employees Marketing & growth

hire is a skill in markfulton/ai-employees, last changed 2 Oct 2026. It can run shell commands and name web addresses.

From the author

Hire one of the eight open source AI Employees (GTM Engineer, SEO/AEO, Web Dev, Social Media, Ad Manager, Sales, Customer Satisfaction, Chief of Staff) into a local folder, prove it runs, and hand over its install prompt. Also answers which one to hire first, how a hired employee runs on a schedule, how to direct it, how it improves from corrections, and how to upgrade it. Use when the user says hire an employee, install an AI employee, set up the GTM Engineer, names one of the eight, or asks how AI Employees work. It copies files and runs self tests only. It registers no schedule and sends nothing.

How much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

How the check works

Pattern check: nothing flagged

That isn't proof the skill is harmless.

Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit 2cdd34e, the one we checked, or the latest version.

OpenCode also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Goose also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Zed also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Roo Code also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Factory Droid also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Junie also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Amp also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. markfulton/ai-employees/skills/hire (opens in a new tab)

Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie and Amp. With This project, Any agent also reaches Antigravity and Claude Code reaches Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

Pinned to commit 2cdd34e, the one we checked.

From your project's root folder:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/markfulton/ai-employees.git "$tmp" &&git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin 2cdd34e1f0d7bfa5b9dfadecf3d72b525fbb1577 &&git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- skills/hire &&git -C "$tmp" checkout -q 2cdd34e1f0d7bfa5b9dfadecf3d72b525fbb1577 &&mkdir -p .claude/skills &&mkdir .claude/skills/hire &&cp -R "$tmp"/skills/hire/. .claude/skills/hire/ &&rm -rf "$tmp"

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

Or install the ai-employees plugin it ships in. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. Installs everything in the plugin, including any hooks, MCP servers and scripts our check doesn't cover.

Claude Code docs

Skills in the Claude apps belong to your account rather than to a project.

Make hire.zip, with the skill folder at the top level:

In Claude, open Customize > Skills, select +, then + Create skill > Upload a skill, and choose hire.zip.

On Free, Pro and Max plans, turn on Code execution and file creation (Create and edit files in newer settings) under Settings > Capabilities.

What it can touch

From the files and frontmatter at commit 2cdd34e. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

Runs shell commands
Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.
Names web addresses
It mentions outside web addresses the agent may visit. We list them but don't follow them.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 2cdd34e · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 2cdd34e on 3 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

Agent Skills specPasses
The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.
- Note
  There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
  Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
  The description is 606 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
  Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes

ads-account-intakeRuns once by hand on the first day and once a month after that. On the first run it researches the business from its own public surfaces before asking anything, reads the account structure once, writes the plan folder, seeds the board, creates the creative doctrine, builds the dashboard, and registers the recurring jobs. It asks about exactly two things, the monthly ceiling and the daily cap, because those are the two numbers that decide how much money can leave. On every monthly run it re reads the evidence, corrects what the ledgers prove wrong, and reconciles drift.

ads-account-readWeekdays. The only routine in this kit that opens a screen inside an account that can spend, and everything it does there is read. It confirms the primary conversion event still fired inside the read window before it trusts any other figure, then reads yesterday's spend, delivery, and result rows at account, campaign, ad set, and creative level and appends one row per object per day to the daily metrics ledger with the screen, the date range, and the read date beside every figure. It creates nothing, saves nothing, activates nothing, and spends nothing, unless you released the channel.

ads-build-deskWeekdays. Works the next ready card on the board, one card per run, and assembles what it needs as a complete local file ready to paste: a campaign build sheet, a negative keyword file, a conversion action specification, an audience definition, or an upload packet. The whole step happens in a text editor until you release the ad account in RELEASES.md, and then Step 6a publishes the approved package through a connection you already have and writes a receipt for every id the platform returns.

ads-change-listWeekly, on a Friday, read only everywhere. Scores the week from the daily metrics ledger alone, with the screen and the date range beside every number, then writes the ranked paste ready list of what to change in the account next week. Each line names one change, the exact screen, the current value, the proposed value, and the evidence row it came from. It proposes no change it cannot source, it names no action it took because it takes none, and it spends only where you released it.

ads-creative-retroMonthly, on the last weekday. Folds a month of the creative ledger against the daily metrics ledger to score angle, format, hook, and offer framing rather than individual files, tests every line currently in the creative doctrine against what the month actually measured, and rewrites the doctrine where the evidence disagrees with the assumption. It records the fatigue curve it observed, retires what has not earned, and changes nothing where the month holds too few rows to tell one angle from another.

ads-creative-studioWeekdays. Produces one creative set per run against evidence rather than taste, reading the standing doctrine for the angles currently earning and the metrics ledger for what has decayed. It writes the images and the exact strings into a dated local set folder with the destination screen named, files one card, and uploads nothing to any account. It never opens an account screen, sends only where you released the channel, spends only where you released it, and never touches a credential.
