Task Execution

When user engages with this skill:

1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST

BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read the reference file:

Read: ./references/ultimate_product_hunt_launch_guide.md

What you will find:

• Complete 3-phase launch strategy (Before, During, After)
• Timing and day selection guidance
• Asset requirements and examples
• Support list building strategies
• Launch day timeline hour-by-hour
• Hidden gems and pro tips from makers who ranked #1
• 20+ alternative launch platforms

DO NOT PROCEED to Step 2 until you have read this file and have the complete guide in context.

2. Check for Business Context

Check if FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists in the project root.

• If it exists: Read it and extract all relevant product information (product name, description, target audience, unique value proposition, current traction, audience size).
• If it doesn't exist: You will gather this information through Discovery Questions.

3. Discovery Questions (MANDATORY)

Ask up to 10 targeted questions to personalize the launch plan.

Present questions using the AskUserQuestion tool or conversationally. Gather:

1. Product Basics
   • What is your product name and one-line description?
   • What problem does it solve and for whom?
