oss-launch

oss-launch is a skill for Claude Code from mgiovani/cc-arsenal. It costs 214 tokens per session (2,507 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A staged workflow for releasing a private side project as a public GitHub repository. It checks the code, license, secrets, branding, README, mentions, and repository history before making it public.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running release checks, reviewing findings, creating optional logo or hero art, improving the README and repository description, removing approved mentions, and performing a controlled public release.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of exposing credentials, unfinished security issues, missing legal information, or private material when publishing a project.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

oss-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 22d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/history_rewrite.sh), 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OSS Launch

Take a private side project from "done" to a public GitHub launch in seven staged gates: pre-flight, review, brand, README, mention scrub, history rewrite (optional, hard-gated), public flip. Like ship, every stage reports the real command it ran and stops at the first gate that isn't met: never estimate a result, never skip a gate silently.

Track progress with TodoWrite (one line per stage) so the user sees where the launch train is if a gate stops it.

The stages

# Stage Gate
1 Pre-flight Repo is private; no leaked secrets; a license exists
2 Review No unresolved Critical/High findings
3 Brand (optional) logo/hero generated or reused
4 README + description Value-prop-first README, topics set
5 Mention scrub User confirms exactly what gets removed
6 History rewrite Private only, ever-public check, explicit confirmation this turn
7 Public flip Every earlier stage passed

Stage 1: Pre-flight

  • gh repo view --json isPrivate,licenseInfo,forkCount,stargazerCount -q .: record isPrivate; this is the launch's core assumption and Stage 6 rechecks it independently.
  • Secrets scan: run the same check env-setup's Phase 6 does, grep tracked files and .env/git history for key/secret/password/token patterns (see that skill's scan-patterns.md reference if you need the full pattern set). Any hit stops the whole train: report the finding as file:line only, never the matched value, and go no further.
  • License: check for LICENSE/LICENSE.md/COPYING at the repo root. Missing license is not an auto-fill, ask the user which license they want (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.) before continuing; don't pick one for them.

Stage 2: Review

Invoke the review-code skill (via Skill, or a Task/Explore→sonnet subagent if that's unavailable) against the default branch. Any Critical/High finding stops the train: report it and let the user decide (fix and re-run, or explicitly accept the risk). Medium/Low findings are reported but don't block.

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.
