## What it does

The skill equips the coding agent with launch frameworks for early-stage software. It details submission steps across platforms like Product Hunt and Hacker News. Timelines cover pre-launch prep and launch day tasks.

The package provides code snippets in Python and JavaScript. These include a 30-day building-in-public posting schedule and an ICP lead scoring validator. No external API keys are required. Without clear audience criteria, the validation logic functions purely as a reference template.
