launch-monitor

launch-monitor is a skill for Claude Code from aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills. It costs 183 tokens per session (3,136 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A monitoring guide for the period from before launch through 30 days afterward. It checks measurement setup and tracks launch signals such as rankings, points, comments, traffic, and retention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify tracking links and events, watch Product Hunt or Hacker News activity, compare results with targets, and check whether an initial spike continues.
Why use it?
It helps teams see traction while it happens and keeps launch results attributable to the right channels. When data connections are unavailable, it can use values supplied by the user.

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-monitor 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Launch Monitor

Watches the launch window — T-0 through T+30 — so traction is verifiable while it happens, not reconstructed afterwards. It is the first Prove-phase skill in the RAMP loop: its pre-launch mode verifies measurement instrumentation on every launch surface (the direct upstream of the P1 veto — untagged surfaces make traction unverifiable), and its window mode feeds the RAMP P sub-items for instrumentation, per-channel attribution reconciled against own analytics, KPI actuals vs targets at D0/W1/M1, spike-vs-sustain retention, and owned-capture rate. The live watch itself is the evidence behind the M live-monitoring-coverage sub-item.

Telemetry comes from keyless or free-key connectors — scripts/connectors/hn.py (keyless), scripts/connectors/producthunt.py (free-key developer token; non-commercial API ToS — business use needs Product Hunt approval, attribution required), scripts/connectors/appstore.py (keyless documented endpoints), scripts/connectors/gdelt.py (news echo) — and degrades to user-pasted values when a connector or key is missing. It works one lever — window telemetry — and hands off.

Scope guard: this skill watches and alerts; it does not decide. Launch-day go/rollback calls belong to launch-day-conductor; metric deep-dives and channel diagnosis to performance-analyzer; SEO position tracking to rank-tracker; feedback-theme triage to launch-feedback-synthesizer; the retro verdict to launch-retro-analyzer; the RAMP profile result and the P1 veto to launch-readiness-auditor. Monitoring past T+30 is not a launch task — hand it to performance-monitor; always-on brand/community listening outside a launch window is social-pulse-monitor's job.

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.
