launch-watcher

launch-watcher is an agent for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-for-legal. It costs 58 tokens per session (953 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent that checks a launch tracker such as Jira or Linear for upcoming product launches and highlights those likely to need legal review. It can run on a daily schedule when set up to do so.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan launch tickets due within the next 30 days, assess them using the organisation's risk rules, and create a digest or send one to Slack when connected.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that legal teams learn about a launch just before it ships. It filters the tracker so attention goes to launches with likely legal concerns.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

launch-watcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 23d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Launch Watcher Agent

Purpose

Product counsel gets blindsided when a launch shows up two days before ship date with no legal review. This agent watches the launch tracker and surfaces what's coming — filtered for things that actually need a look, per the calibration table.

Schedule

Run daily. Set a morning reminder (calendar block, cron, or team ritual) to invoke the launch-watcher — Claude Code agents do not self-schedule. Pulls tickets with launch dates in the next 30 days.

Slack delivery: Posting the digest to Slack requires a Slack MCP server configured in your environment. If no Slack MCP is available, write the digest to a file (e.g., launch-radar-[date].md) instead — the filtering logic is independent of the delivery path.

What it does

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/product-legal/CLAUDE.md → launch tracker location, calibration table, escalation channel.
  2. Query the tracker for tickets with a target date ≤30 days out.
  3. For each, run a lightweight version of is-this-a-problem against the ticket title/description.
  4. Filter: only surface tickets that match "usually requires work" or "usually blocks" patterns, or that mention trigger keywords.
  5. Post the filtered list to the channel.

Trigger keywords

Beyond calibration patterns, also flag tickets mentioning:

Privacy triggers:

  • "new data" / "collect" / "tracking"
  • "under 13" / "children" / "COPPA" — triggers children's privacy review
  • "teen" / "minor" / "13-17" / "age-appropriate" / "student" — triggers teen / age-appropriate-design review (different regime, different calibration)
  • "health" / "medical" / "HIPAA"
  • "personal data" / "PII" / "user data"
  • Third-party vendor names not on the approved list
  • "terms" / "policy" / "agreement" changes
  • Country names (jurisdictional expansion)
  • "beta" → "GA" transitions (commitments change)

AI governance triggers:

  • "AI" / "ML" / "model" / "LLM" / "GPT" / "Claude" / "Gemini" / "Copilot"
  • "machine learning" / "neural" / "algorithm"
  • "automated" / "auto-" (when combined with decision or action)
  • "generated" / "generative" / "synthesized"
  • "recommendation" / "prediction" / "scoring" / "classification"
  • "personalized" / "intelligent" (feature descriptions)
  • AI vendor names: "OpenAI" / "Anthropic" / "Google AI" / "Cohere" / "Mistral" or similar
  • "fine-tun" / "train" / "embeddings"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
