mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Launch Readiness Skill

Ensure nothing falls through the cracks before launch by systematically checking readiness across every function — and producing a clear, evidenced go/no-go recommendation.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Launch name and target date
  • Launch tier (Tier 1 = major launch / Tier 2 = significant feature / Tier 3 = incremental update)
  • Completed checklist items or self-assessment (even partial is fine — we'll surface gaps)
  • Team and role names (to assign owners to blockers)

Readiness Checklist by Function

Product & Engineering

  • Feature complete against launch spec
  • Performance benchmarks met
  • Accessibility standards checked
  • Edge cases documented and handled
  • Rollback plan defined and tested

Marketing & Comms

  • Launch messaging approved
  • Blog post / press release drafted
  • Social content prepared
  • Email campaigns scheduled
  • Landing page live and tested

Support & Success

  • Support team trained on new feature
  • FAQ and help docs published
  • Escalation path defined for launch issues
  • Customer success briefed (if enterprise)

Sales & Partnerships

  • Sales enablement materials ready
  • Pricing confirmed and communicated
  • Partner comms sent (if applicable)

Data & Analytics

  • Tracking events implemented and verified
  • Launch metrics dashboard live
  • Baseline metrics captured pre-launch

Process

  1. Review provided launch brief and checklist responses
  2. Flag any incomplete items as blockers (must fix) or risks (monitor)
  3. Assess overall readiness and produce go/no-go recommendation with rationale
  4. If no-go, specify exactly what must be completed and by when
  5. Validate — Confirm every blocker has a named owner and resolution deadline, and that the rollback plan is tested (not just documented)

Output Structure

Launch Readiness Assessment: [Feature/Product Name]

Launch Date: [date] Launch Tier: [1 / 2 / 3] Overall Status: Go / ⚠️ Conditional Go / 🛑 No-Go

Blockers (must resolve before launch):

  • [item + owner + resolution required by]

Risks (monitor closely):

  • [item + mitigation plan]

Ready Areas:

  • [function]: Ready

Recommendation: [Clear go/no-go with rationale — 3-5 sentences]

Quality Checks

  • Every blocker has a specific owner (not "the team") and a deadline
  • Rollback plan is explicitly tested, not just written
  • Analytics events are verified in staging, not just implemented
  • Go/No-Go decision has a named decision-maker and a cut-off time
  • At least one post-launch monitoring check is scheduled (e.g., T+2hr, T+24hr)

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not mark a function as "Ready" without evidence — green status must be backed by a completed checklist item, not an assumption
  • Do not issue a Conditional Go without specifying exactly what conditions must be met and by when — vague conditions are not conditions
  • Do not treat the rollback plan as complete unless it has been tested in staging, not just documented
  • Do not assign blockers to "the team" — every blocker must have a single named owner or it will not be resolved before launch
  • Do not skip the analytics verification step — unverified tracking events mean the launch will be invisible and cannot be evaluated
