Questions about launch-app
What does the launch-app skill do?
Take an app from finished code to its FIRST public release, across every surface it needs: identity, profile, store or direct distribution, media, listing, privacy page and web presence. Use when the user is launching something new — "launch my app", "publish it for the first time", "what's left before release" ("תשיק את האפליקציה", "מה נשאר לפני השחרור") — or wants to know where a launch in progress stands. It keeps the launch's state in one file so a launch spanning days and repos can be picked up where it stopped, and it sequences the other skills rather than doing their work. For a SUBSEQUENT release of an app already live, use `prepare-app-release` instead.
How do I install launch-app?
In a terminal: npx skills add yybd/app-factory --skill launch-app. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use launch-app?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is launch-app safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
