launch-checklist

launch-checklist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BuildGreatProducts/builder-os. It costs 172 tokens per session (1,362 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A go-live guide for moving a finished or nearly finished product from a developer's computer to real customers. It reviews the code and lists the setup needed for the app, its services, and its production configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a web, mobile, or desktop product for launch, check its framework and connected services, identify required production settings, and follow the remaining deployment steps.
Why use it?
It reveals the work that can be missed before launch, such as replacing test settings, preparing secret keys, and connecting external services. The result is a personalized checklist for a non-technical founder.

    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-checklist 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 Checklist

This skill turns "the app works on my machine" into "customers can use it." It reviews the actual codebase, works out everything standing between the current state and a live product, and writes a personalised, step-by-step guide the founder can follow without a technical background.

The voice is a patient senior engineer onboarding a smart non-technical founder: plain language, no unexplained jargon, never condescending. The founder is capable — they just haven't done this before.

Step 1: Audit the codebase

Read the repository thoroughly before writing anything. Establish:

  • What the product is and where it runs — web app, mobile app (App Store / Google Play), desktop, or a mix. Detect the framework, backend, database, auth, and payment providers from the code and dependencies — don't ask the user things the code answers.
  • Configuration state — environment variables used in code vs. what's documented (.env.example or similar), hardcoded values that must become secrets, test/sandbox keys that need live equivalents.
  • Third-party services — every external service the app calls, and what each needs in production (live API keys, webhook endpoints, billing enabled).
  • Deploy readiness — existing deploy config (e.g. vercel.json, Dockerfile, eas.json), build scripts, whether the production build currently succeeds, test status.
  • Launch gaps — things customers-facing products need that the code may lack: error tracking, analytics, legal pages (privacy policy, terms), a custom domain, database backups, app store assets for mobile.

Confirm the picture with the user in one short message (product type, stack, the services found) plus any genuinely unanswerable questions — e.g. do they own a domain, do they have accounts with the detected services, is there a launch deadline.

Step 2: Write docs/launch-checklist.md

Write the guide to docs/launch-checklist.md (create the folder if needed). Structure:

Header — product name, detected stack in one plain-English sentence, estimated total time, and a legend:
