developer-championslisted

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.

Design the exit before the launch. Scope is program design and its operating rules. Adjacent decisions belong to sibling skills: - Deciding whether to launch a community at all: samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-launch. - The code of conduct and escalation ladder: samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-moderation. - Community-wide health measurement: samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-health. - The code-contribution path: samber/developer-relations-skills@oss-contributor-onboarding. - Local user-group organizing: samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-meetup-program. Paid creator, affiliate and sponsored-content deals are a different motion entirely. Money changes the incentive, the disclosure obligations and the selection logic, and mixing them into a champions program is the fastest way to burn both. Typical invocations: "design an ambassador program for our
