launch-window-planner is a skill for Claude Code from aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (2,790 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning tool for choosing when a product launch should happen. It compares possible dates using industry events, competitor launches, store-review delays, and the choice between a launch week and a rolling release.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compare launch windows, choose a launch format, set an embargo time zone, and prepare a proposed date for the launch record.
Why use it?
It helps avoid dates that collide with important events, competitor announcements, or approval delays. It also makes the embargo—the time before news may be publicly released—explicit.

    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-window-planner 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Launch Window Planner

Picks when to launch — the timing lever of the RAMP loop Research phase. It scans industry-event and conference cycles, maps the competitor launch calendar, pads for store-review latency, chooses a launch-week vs rolling format, and defines the embargo window (lift moment + timezone). It feeds the RAMP-R timing sub-item ("timing window chosen deliberately — event cycles, competitor calendar, review-latency buffers") and the RAMP-M embargo-coordination sub-item ("embargo & partner commitments coordinated against one authoritative date/stage") per ramp-benchmark.md. It works one lever — timing — and hands off.

The window this skill recommends is a proposal, not the record: date, stage, and embargo facts become authoritative only when launch-registry records them. This skill submits candidates and never writes the registry directly.

Scope guard: this skill picks the window only. It does not judge whether a cultural moment or trend is worth riding (that is trend-spotter), run the launch day itself (launch-day-conductor owns the hour-blocked runbook), declare the launch tier or own the risk register (launch-tier-planner), write the canonical date/stage/embargo record (launch-registry is the sole writer of memory/launch-registry/), or compute the RAMP profile result (launch-readiness-auditor). It works one lever and hands off.

Quick Start

Pick a launch window for [product] in [quarter]. Constraints: [team availability / store-review submission / partner commitments].
Map the competitor launch calendar and industry events around [candidate date] — should we move?
Define the embargo window for [launch]: lift moment, timezone, and who is committed to it.

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.
