flywheel-sync

Flywheel Sync (ORBIT System)

A meta-skill that operates above all other skills in the launch engine, auditing the health of skill-to-skill connections, identifying broken handoffs, redundant outputs, and bottlenecks, then generating a continuous improvement roadmap. ORBIT ensures the entire product launch system functions as an integrated flywheel rather than a collection of disconnected processes.

When to Use

• Auditing whether the launch engine skills are working together effectively
• Diagnosing why a launch process feels slow, disconnected, or redundant
• Identifying gaps where important outputs are missing or not being consumed
• Checking if skill cadences are aligned with business rhythms
• Building a continuous improvement roadmap for the overall launch system
• Onboarding new team members to understand how skills interconnect
• Preparing for a major launch by verifying all system connections are healthy

What You'll Need

Critical inputs (ask if not provided):

• List of active skills and their current usage status
• Recent outputs from each skill (or confirmation that skills have been run)
• Known pain points or friction in the current launch process
• Team structure and ownership map across skills
• Launch cadence (how often launches occur, what types)

Nice-to-have:

• Outputs from the most recent run of each skill
• Timestamps of last skill execution
• Team feedback on handoff quality and timing
• Historical launch debriefs (from launch-debrief)
• Current launch calendar and upcoming milestones

Process

Step 1: Map the Full Skill Connection Graph

Document every skill-to-skill connection in the launch engine with its expected data flow.
