What it does

Feature Launch Playbook is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Take a new feature or product update and generate the full launch kit: changelog entry, email announcement, LinkedIn post variants, in-app banner text, Twitter/X thread, and internal sales enablement one-pager. Pure reasoning skill that chains product context with audience-specific copy generation. Use when a product marketing team needs to turn a feature spec into launch-ready assets fast.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Social media posts, Feature launches and release readiness and PRD writing. It works with LinkedIn and X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Feature Launch Playbook loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 493 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Feature Launch Playbook

Turn a feature spec or product update into a complete launch kit — every asset you need to announce, from changelog to cold email insert. One input, all outputs.

Built for: PMMs or founders who ship features faster than they can write about them. The goal is to go from "feature merged" to "launch assets ready" in one session.

When to Use

  • "We just shipped [feature] — help me launch it"
  • "Write launch copy for [feature/update]"
  • "I need a changelog entry, email, and LinkedIn post for [feature]"
  • "Generate the full launch kit for [product update]"
  • "Turn this feature spec into marketing assets"

Phase 0: Intake

Feature Context
  1. Feature name — What are you launching?
  2. One-paragraph description — What does it do? (Can be a Notion doc, PRD excerpt, or plain text)
  3. Who benefits most? — Which ICP segment cares about this? (e.g., "growth teams running outbound")
  4. Problem it solves — What was painful before this existed?
  5. Key capability — The single most impressive thing it does (for the headline)
Launch Context
  1. Launch tier — How big is this?
    • Tier 1 (Major): New product line, major feature, pricing change → Full launch kit
    • Tier 2 (Medium): Significant feature, new integration → Email + social + changelog
    • Tier 3 (Minor): Small improvement, bug fix → Changelog + social mention
  2. Launch date — When does this go live?
  3. CTA — What should the reader do? (Try it, book a demo, read docs, upgrade)
  4. Visual assets available? — Screenshots, GIFs, demo video URL?
Tone & Voice
  1. Brand voice — Technical/developer, conversational/founder-led, enterprise/professional?
  2. Any messaging to avoid? — Competitor names, specific claims, regulated language?

Phase 1: Core Messaging (Foundation)

Before generating assets, define the messaging foundation:

Feature Positioning Block
HEADLINE: [Outcome-driven, not feature-driven]
  Bad: "Introducing Advanced Filtering"
  Good: "Find your best leads in seconds, not hours"

SUBHEAD: [What it is + who it's for]
  "[Feature name] lets [audience] do [capability] so they can [outcome]."

PROOF POINT: [Metric or before/after comparison]
  "In beta, [customer] saw [X% improvement / saved X hours]."

CTA: [Single clear action]
  "[Try it now / See it in action / Book a demo]"

Phase 2: Generate Launch Assets

Asset 1: Changelog Entry
markdown
## [Feature Name] — [Date]

[1-2 sentence summary: what + why it matters]

**What's new:**
- [Capability 1]
- [Capability 2]
- [Capability 3]

**Who it's for:** [ICP segment]

[CTA button text] → [link]
Asset 2: Email Announcement
Subject line options (pick 1, A/B test if possible):
A: [Outcome-driven] — e.g., "Your [workflow] just got 10x faster"
B: [Curiosity-driven] — e.g., "We built the thing you've been asking for"
C: [Direct] — e.g., "New: [Feature Name] is live"

---

Hi [First Name],

[1-sentence hook tied to their pain point]

Today we're launching [Feature Name] — [1-sentence description of what it does].

Here's what this means for you:

- [Benefit 1 — outcome, not feature]
- [Benefit 2]
- [Benefit 3]

[Social proof line if available: "Teams like [Customer] are already using it to [result]."]

[CTA: Try it now / See it in action / Reply to learn more]

[Signature]

P.S. [Urgency or bonus — e.g., "Available on all plans" or "Early access for the next 48 hours"]
Show full SKILL.md (202 more words)Show less
Asset 3: LinkedIn Post (Founder Voice)

Generate 3 variants:

Variant A: Story-driven

[Hook: personal story or observation about the problem]

[2-3 lines on why this matters]

Today we shipped [Feature Name].

Here's what it does:
→ [Benefit 1]
→ [Benefit 2]
→ [Benefit 3]

[Social proof or early result]

[CTA — soft: "Check it out" or "Link in comments"]

Variant B: Contrarian/hot take

[Hot take about the problem or industry norm]

[2-3 lines on why the status quo is broken]

So we built [Feature Name] to fix it.

[How it works in 2-3 bullets]

[CTA]

Variant C: Customer-proof-driven

[Customer result or quote as hook]

[Context on what they were doing before]

[Feature Name] made this possible:
→ [Capability that drove the result]

[CTA]
Asset 4: Twitter/X Thread
Tweet 1 (hook):
[Announcement + outcome claim in <200 chars]
🧵

Tweet 2:

Tweet 3:
What we built: [Feature description + screenshot/GIF]

Tweet 4:
Key capabilities:
- [Bullet 1]
- [Bullet 2]
- [Bullet 3]

Tweet 5:
[Social proof or early result]

Tweet 6:
[CTA + link]
Asset 5: In-App Banner / Notification
Headline: [6-8 words max]
Body: [1 sentence, 15 words max]
CTA button: [2-3 words]
Dismiss: "Maybe later"
Asset 6: Internal Sales Enablement One-Pager (Tier 1 only)
markdown
