SkillHey workflow illustration for Free Tool Strategy: Problem, Tool, Distribution.
Project screenshotsAbout this Skill
Evaluate useful calculators, generators and utilities as marketing assets with distribution plans. This is the free-tools Skill in Corey Haines’s Marketing Skills collection. It gives an Agent a focused workflow and task references; it can work from information you supply, and the repository documents optional tools for tasks needing live websites or account data. Start with the product, audience and decision you need help with, then review the proposed work against your actual evidence.
Why we picked it
A focused starting point for free tool strategy. Pair it with product-marketing to reuse product and audience context. The two SkillHey illustrations explain the workflow and a conceptual use case; the original repository remains the installation source.
What it helps with
- Founders and marketing teams working on free tool strategy.
- Agent users who can provide product context and review proposed marketing work.
A practical starting workflow
Tell the Agent the task, intended audience and relevant constraints. Evaluate useful calculators, generators and utilities as marketing assets with distribution plans.
Problem
Use this focus to guide the free tool strategy task, and check the result against your source material.
Tool

Distribution
Use this focus to guide the free tool strategy task, and check the result against your source material.
Reuse product and audience context
The repository’s product-marketing Skill creates .agents/product-marketing.md. This Skill checks that shared context first; supply task-specific material and update the context when positioning or audience changes.
Install the original Skill
Install the selected Skill, or include the shared context Skill. In an Agent session, specify Claude Code explicitly when installing for that host. Keep the Skill folder and its references together.

Try a focused request
“Use free-tools for my product. Evaluate useful calculators, generators and utilities as marketing assets with distribution plans. Read the product-marketing context first, ask only for missing task information, and show the evidence and assumptions behind your recommendations.”
Requirements and review
The Skill provides instructions and references. Some workflows need browsing, data exports or connected tools, and image/video tasks need a suitable creation tool. Installing it does not by itself run a campaign or guarantee a performance outcome. Use current account data and platform documentation for implementation decisions.
Before you use it
- An Agent that supports SKILL.md, plus the supplied business context and relevant source material.
- Account access, API credentials or paid tools only when your chosen task and integration need them; they are separate from the free Skill.
