## What it does

launch-review loads the team's review framework and risk calibration, then examines the PRD and related material. When a tracker is connected, it pulls the ticket and its comments, produces a memo in the house format, and can post a summary back to the ticket.

The skill walks through the framework categories, including contractual commitments, privacy, security, IP, third parties, and regulatory issues. It also looks for AI use even when the PRD does not label it as AI. If it finds an AI component, it runs `/ai-governance-legal:use-case-triage [feature]` alongside the launch review.

A completed `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/product-legal/CLAUDE.md` is required because the skill stops when it finds placeholders. Check that file before relying on a review. Before sharing output, the skill asks whether a named destination is inside the privilege circle.

## When to use it
- review a PRD before a feature launch
- check changes against contractual commitments
- spot new data collection and vendors
- flag AI use in a proposed launch
- prepare a review memo for a tracker ticket

## Example prompts
- Run `/product-legal:launch-review PROJ-1234` and prepare a launch review memo.
- Review this launch with `/product-legal:launch-review [PRD file | Drive link | tracker ticket ID]`.
- Can we ship this feature? Run `/product-legal:launch-review PROJ-1234`.

  Full launch review against your framework and risk calibration. Use when the
  user says "review this launch", "legal review for [feature]", "can we ship
  this", "what are the legal issues with [product]", or references a launch
  tracker ticket or PRD that needs a category-by-category review memo.

# /launch-review

1. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/product-legal/CLAUDE.md` → framework + calibration. Stop if placeholders.
2. Get PRD + related docs. If tracker connected, pull ticket and comments.
3. Walk every framework category using the workflow below.
4. Calibrate each finding against the table. Novel = flag explicitly.
5. Output review memo in house format. Post summary to ticket if connected.
6. Hand off: marketing-claims-review if substantial marketing; feature-risk-assessment if a finding needs depth.

```
/product-legal:launch-review PROJ-1234
```

## Matter context

**Matter context.** Check `## Matter workspaces` in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If `Enabled` is `✗` (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph — skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run `/product-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug>` or say `practice-level`." Load the active matter's `matter.md` for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/product-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/`. Never read another matter's files unless `Cross-matter context` is `on`.

## Destination check

Before producing output, check where it's going. If the user has named a destination (a channel, a distribution list, a counterparty, "everyone"), ask whether it's inside the privilege circle. Public channels, company-wide lists, counterparty/opposing counsel, vendors, and clients (for work product) waive the protection. When the destination looks outside the circle, flag it and offer (a) the privileged version for legal only, (b) a sanitized version for the broader channel, or (c) both — don't silently apply a privileged header and then help paste it somewhere the header won't protect it. See the canonical `## Shared guardrails → Destination check` in this plugin's CLAUDE.md.

## Purpose

Read the PRD, check every category in this team's framework, calibrate against what actually blocks here (per `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/product-legal/CLAUDE.md`), and output a review in house format. Goal: a PM reads it and knows exactly what has to happen before they ship.
