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…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Launch an App — zero to live, across three repos

> **Conversational language:** talk to the user in the `conversational language` set
> in the hub `DATA.md` (`$APP_HUB/DATA.md`).

## Prerequisites

- **Tools:** none beyond Claude Code — every stage runs another skill's tooling.
- **Credentials:** none held here; the shipping skills it sequences own theirs.
- **Hub (`$APP_HUB`):** optional — the state file is `$APP_HUB/<slug>/README.md` with a
  hub and `<app-repo>/LAUNCH.md` without one, read on every run and written at every
  stage boundary. A hub also holds `<slug>/profile.md`, which decides the routes.
- **Other tracks:** `appstore-media`, `ship-apple-app`, `macos-direct-distribution`,
  `notarize-and-distribute` (apple-track); `play-store-media`, `play-store-ship`
  (android-track); `web-seo` (web-track); the `$SITE` repo's own skill for stages
  2 and 6.

## This is not `prepare-app-release`, and the difference is the order

| | starts from | ends at |
|---|---|---|
| **`launch-app`** (this) | an app that has **never shipped** — no profile, no listing, no page | first version live, listed, on the site |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yybd/app-factory/launch-app@sha256:7f7e34cb404936e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.51e779a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
