launch

launch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashtonian/llm-init. It costs 12 tokens per session (310 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-flight checker and launch process for starting parallel development work with an agent team. It verifies task files, project guidance, quality checks, strategy, dependencies, and a clean Git working tree before launch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a task backlog and project setup, confirm readiness, and launch the team lead to execute the tasks.
Why use it?
It catches missing preparation or unsafe repository state before work begins. This helps ensure the team has valid tasks and the project has the required instructions and checks.

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 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Run pre-flight checks and launch the team lead agent for parallel execution.

Instructions

  1. Pre-flight checks -- verify all of these before launching:
    • Task files exist in docs/spec/.llm/tasks/backlog/ (count > 0)
    • .claude/rules/agent-guide.md has been customized (project description is not a placeholder)
    • Quality Gates section has uncommented commands (not just comment-only examples)
    • docs/spec/.llm/STRATEGY.md has been filled in (not just template placeholders)
    • Task dependencies are valid (referenced tasks exist in backlog or completed)
    • Git working tree is clean (no uncommitted changes)
  2. Report any issues found. Do NOT launch if there are blocking issues.
  3. If all checks pass, confirm with the user.
  4. Launch the team lead agent: claude --agent team-lead --max-turns 300 --print -p "Execute all tasks in docs/spec/.llm/tasks/backlog/. Read each task file and coordinate teammates to complete them in parallel with branch isolation."
  5. After launching, run bash docs/spec/.llm/scripts/status.sh to confirm execution started.

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.
