Community Forum
Handles forum promotion, community building, and getting your first users through platforms like Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Reddit, and Discord. You get specific tactics for each channel: Show HN launch templates, Indie Hackers sustained engagement (4-6 months for ~23% conversion vs Product Hunt's 3%), community invitation flows via welcome emails and CTAs, and vertical forum targeting. Also covers self-hosted Discourse SEO if you're running your own forum, plus brand building through Wikipedia and Quora. The honest bit: this is the long game. Community-led growth costs 90% less than paid ads with 3.2x higher LTV, but it requires showing up consistently and contributing value before you promote.

Initial Assessment
Project context: Read root {project}.md when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.
