Launch Runbook
Skill Verified ActivePlan and execute a launch runbook covering pre-launch verification, go-live procedures, DNS cutover, post-launch monitoring, and rollback procedures. Use this skill whenever the user is preparing to launch a website or product, planning a DNS cutover, building a go-live checklist, or executing a launch day. Triggers on launch runbook, go-live, launch day, DNS cutover, deploy to production, site launch, product launch, cutover plan, launch checklist, deployment procedure. Also triggers when a launch is approaching and the team needs structured coordination, even if 'runbook' is not explicitly stated.
To standardize and streamline the process of planning and executing product or website launches, ensuring all critical steps and communications are covered.
Features
- Generates detailed launch runbooks.
- Covers pre-launch, cutover, verification, and stabilization phases.
- Defines roles, responsibilities, and communication plans.
- Includes rollback criteria and procedures.
- Provides a fillable template for customization.
Use Cases
- Preparing for a new website or product launch.
- Planning a DNS cutover procedure.
- Building a go-live checklist for a team.
- Coordinating complex cross-team deployments.
Non-Goals
- Pre-launch testing (use `qa-testing` skill).
- Post-launch incident response (use `incident-response` skill).
- After-launch retrospective analysis (use `after-action-report` skill).
Installation
npx skills add rampstackco/claude-skillsRuns the Vercel skills CLI (skills.sh) via npx — needs Node.js locally and at least one installed skills-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …). Assumes the repo follows the agentskills.io format.
