# Product Launch Checklist Skill
|
||
|
||
Never launch without checking everything. Generate a complete, role-assigned checklist covering pre-launch readiness, launch day execution, and post-launch monitoring.
|
||
|
||
## How to Use This Skill
|
||
|
||
Provide:
|
||
- Launch name and date
|
||
- Launch tier (1 = major, 2 = feature, 3 = incremental)
|
||
- Team members and their roles
|
||
|
||
The skill generates a tiered checklist. Tier 3 launches use only the Essentials section. Tier 2 adds Marketing & Comms. Tier 1 uses all sections.
|

## Guidelines
|
||
|
||
- The Go/No-Go decision must have a named owner — "the team" is not an owner
|
||
- Never launch on a Friday unless you have weekend engineering coverage
|
||
- Recommend starting all launches at <10% traffic — even for simple features
|
||
- Document rollback time: "We can revert this in X minutes" should be known before launch
