create-launch-post

A workflow for preparing and publishing short Rivet launch or changelog posts. It covers research, images, blog content, social copy, scheduling, and review checkpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps research a release, create and upload a blog hero image, draft an MDX post, prepare social posts and replies, open a review pull request, and schedule approved content.
Why use it?
It keeps release communication organized while leaving important choices and final approval with the user.

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

create-launch-post 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/render-launch-images.ts, scripts/render-technical-image.ts, scripts/render-tile-images.ts), 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 — 267 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Launch Post

Prepare a complete, deliberately short launch. Keep the launch date, hero variation, social copy, Buffer schedule, and final GitHub merge as user-owned checkpoints. Opening the draft PR is not completion.

Workflow contract

Run these phases in order:

  1. Accept the user's launch context, research the release, confirm the launch date, and ask the user which hero variation to use. Never silently choose the variation or the painting.
  2. Render the 2:1 blog hero and social image. Upload only the blog hero; keep social and technical assets local.
  3. Write and validate the blog post, upload the hero, and push an initial draft PR.
  4. Give the user one review packet containing the draft PR, social image, first technical-image draft, four Buffer main-post options, and the proposed reply thread. If the feature has meaningful Dashboard, Inspector, or other product UI, recommend adding a clean screenshot and ask the user to provide it or approve capturing it. Iterate on the post, PR, technical image, optional UI screenshot, and social copy until the user approves them. Push every approved blog revision to the same PR.
  5. After the user approves the copy, replies, launch date, and exact time, schedule the Buffer thread and reopen it to verify the account, content, image, order, date, time, and timezone. Leave the GitHub PR for the user to merge manually.

Do not declare the launch ready until all three acceptance gates pass:

  • Blog post: The user has reviewed it, the latest approved revision is pushed to the draft PR, the hero resolves, and relevant checks pass or any external blocker is explicit.
  • Technical image: The user has reviewed and approved the current local technical.png.
  • Buffer: The approved thread is scheduled for rivet_dev and the scheduled item has been verified. If Buffer references a tunneled media URL, a reliable tunnel process and cleanup plan must remain active through publication.

Parallelize with subagents

Use subagents in bounded waves when concurrency is available. Keep the main agent as the only user-facing orchestrator and the sole owner of tracked-file edits, asset uploads, jj operations, GitHub writes, Buffer mutations, and tunnel lifecycle. Give subagents read-only repository work or a unique output directory outside the repository; never let multiple agents edit the same worktree or perform the same external action.

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
