plan-launch

plan-launch is a skill for Claude Code from tomzx/agents. It costs 27 tokens per session (442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-launch planning guide for coordinating the release of a shipped or nearly shipped change. It covers readiness, timing, communication channels, success checks, and rollback decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a launch checklist, timeline, channel plan, early success criteria, and pause or rollback plan.
Why use it?
It prevents launch work from being scattered across teams or treated as just a software deploy. It makes responsibilities, deadlines, and warning signs explicit.

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

plan-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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Plan Launch

A launch is a coordinated release, not a deploy. This skill produces the launch plan: who needs to be ready, by when, through which channels, and how we will know it worked. It assumes SDLC has shipped (or is about to ship) the change.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared PDLC conventions in skills/pdlc/references/shared.md.
  • A shipped or near-shipped change; acceptance-contract.md and goals.md.

Steps

  1. Define the launch type (minimal/quiet, beta, full GA, phased rollout) and justify it against risk and confidence.
  2. Build the readiness checklist across functions: product, engineering, design, docs, support, sales, marketing, legal. Each item has an owner and a due date.
  3. Define the timeline: readiness start, launch date, and post-launch review checkpoint.
  4. Choose channels and sequencing (in-product, email, blog, sales) tied to the target segments.
  5. State launch success criteria: the early-window signals (first hours/days) that indicate the launch landed, distinct from the long-term success metrics in goals.md.
  6. Define the rollback / pause plan: what would trigger pulling back, and who has authority.
  7. Write launch-plan.md to the initiative directory.

Output Format

Use the template at skills/pdlc/templates/initiatives/launch-plan.md.

Outcome

If $OUTCOME_YAML is set, emit verdict: drafted.

Completion Checklist

  • Launch type justified against risk
  • Readiness checklist has owners and due dates per function
  • Early-window success signals defined (distinct from long-term metrics)
  • Rollback trigger and authority named

Next Step

Load craft-messaging (then enable-teams, set-pricing) before running the Launch gate.

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.
