shipping-and-launch

shipping-and-launch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from borhen68/SkillEngine. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,503 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for preparing a software change for release to production, where real users and live data are affected.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create launch checklists, monitoring plans, staged rollouts, and rollback strategies for features, data migrations, infrastructure changes, or beta releases.
Why use it?
It helps catch release problems before deployment and ensures changes can be monitored, rolled back, or released gradually.

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

shipping-and-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 4d 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.

Shipping and Launch

Overview

Most production incidents don't start with a dramatic failure — they start with a calm deployment that seemed fine until it wasn't. The difference between a team that sleeps through launches and a team that spends weekends debugging is preparation.

The shipping contract: Every deployment must be reversible within 5 minutes, observable in real-time, and incremental in risk exposure. If you can't roll back, you haven't shipped — you've jumped.

Real-world impact: The cost of a failed launch with no rollback is 10-100x the cost of spending an extra hour on preparation. The worst time to write a rollback plan is when the alert is firing.

When to Use

  • Deploying a feature to production for the first time
  • Releasing a significant change to users
  • Migrating data or infrastructure
  • Opening a beta or early access program
  • Any deployment that carries risk (all of them)

The Pre-Launch Checklist

Code Quality

  • All tests pass (unit, integration, e2e)
  • Build succeeds with no warnings
  • Lint and type checking pass
  • Code reviewed and approved
  • No TODO comments that should be resolved before launch
  • No console.log debugging statements in production code
  • Error handling covers expected failure modes

Security

  • No secrets in code or version control
  • npm audit shows no critical or high vulnerabilities
  • Input validation on all user-facing endpoints
  • Authentication and authorization checks in place
  • Security headers configured (CSP, HSTS, etc.)
  • Rate limiting on authentication endpoints
  • CORS configured to specific origins (not wildcard)

Performance

  • Core Web Vitals within "Good" thresholds
  • No N+1 queries in critical paths
  • Images optimized (compression, responsive sizes, lazy loading)
  • Bundle size within budget
  • Database queries have appropriate indexes
  • Caching configured for static assets and repeated queries

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.
