These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-retro-analyzer 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.

Launch Retro Analyzer

Runs the structured D1/W1/M1 retrospective after a launch: the per-channel actual-vs-target read, the 5-Whys on the single largest miss, the keep / kill / change call per channel, and the 3-5 learnings that change the next launch. It sits in the Prove phase of the RAMP loop (Research → Assemble → Mobilize → Prove) and feeds the RAMP P retro sub-items — retro completed (channel actual-vs-target, 5-Whys on misses, keep/kill) and learnings promoted to memory + the launch-registry outcome snapshot — plus the P attribution discipline that own UTM-attributed analytics, not platform self-reported numbers, are the truth column. See ramp-benchmark.md.

Only launch-readiness-auditor runs a typed lifecycle RAMP profile; this skill owns the retro evidence and hands off.

Scope guard: this skill runs the retro only. It does not compute return math — CPA / ROI / payback is roi-calculator; does not write the stakeholder-facing report — that is report-generator; does not run metric deep-dives or anomaly analysis — that is performance-analyzer; does not track the live T-0→T+30 window (launch-monitor) or triage feedback (launch-feedback-synthesizer); and it never writes memory/launch-registry/ records directly — launch-registry is the sole writer; this skill submits the outcome snapshot to memory/events/launches.ndjson via an authorized operation: propose request to registry-events.py only.

Quick Start

Run a W1 retro on our [product] launch. Targets: [D0/W1 KPIs]. Here is the GA4 UTM export and the platform dashboards.
Our biggest miss was [channel / KPI]. Walk the 5-Whys and tell me what to keep, kill, or change for the next launch.

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.
