stage-launch

stage-launch is a skill for Claude Code from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. It costs 165 tokens per session (1,016 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A launch workflow turns an approved managed-agent plan into API request files and a resumable shell script. An API is a programmatic way for software to communicate with a service; BYOK means using your own API key.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for validating agent launch data, creating an environment, agent, session, and kickoff in order, and resuming a partly completed launch.
Why use it?
It reduces manual setup and helps catch configuration or key-leak problems before launch, while leaving the actual network call to 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

stage-launch scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/launch_script_writer.py, scripts/payload_generator.py, scripts/payload_validator.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

description: Phase 2 of building a Claude Managed Agent — turn a validated build sheet into exact API payloads and a resumable BYOK curl launch script, then launch (environment → agent → session → kickoff) using the foun
agent-launcher/skills/stage-launch/SKILL.md · 78 lines

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 2 — Stage → Launch

Turn the build sheet into runnable artifacts, then let the founder launch with their own key. No script here touches the network or the key — the user runs launch.sh.

Workflow

  1. Generate payloads.
    python3 scripts/payload_generator.py \
      --sheet ./my-agent/build-sheet.json --out-dir ./my-agent
    # -> ./my-agent/payloads/{01-environment,02-agent,03-session,04-kickoff}.json
    
    Agent toolset → always_allow; every MCP toolset → always_ask (baked into the agent payload's permission_policies).
  2. Write the launch script.
    python3 scripts/launch_script_writer.py --out-dir ./my-agent
    
    launch.sh creates environment → agent → session → kickoff in order, chaining IDs, and resumes on re-run (each step skips if its *.id file exists). It reads $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY at runtime.
  3. Validate before launch.
    python3 scripts/payload_validator.py --dir ./my-agent
    
    FAIL blocks — especially a key_leak finding. Fix and re-run.
  4. Minimal key step (never in chat). Check the shell first:
    [ -n "$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" ] && echo "key present" || echo "export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... first"
    
    Point the founder to platform.claude.com → API keys. Never print the key to chat, never write it to a file.
  5. Launch + watch the first poll.
    export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...      # in their shell, not in chat
    ./my-agent/launch.sh
    
    Mark checkpoints with Console deep links. Then goal_state.py set --phase grade-iterate and advance.

Hard rules (API-key safety)

  • The key never enters chat, a file, a payload, or a log. launch.sh reads it from the environment; payload_validator.py scans for sk-ant-… leaks and FAILs.
  • Sequential launch. environment → agent → session → kickoff. Watch the first poll foreground before declaring success.
  • Resumable. Re-running launch.sh continues from the last created ID.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

stage-launch is a skill published in the GitHub repository alirezarezvani/claude-skills (28,607 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 165 tokens to every session and 1,016 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-24.
