# workflow-launch-ready — Full Launch Preparation

**Degree of freedom: MIXED.** Skip/condition judgment `[HIGH freedom]`; sweep
order and quality-gate NO-GO block `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`.

The pre-launch sequence. Run once, get the complete picture across SEO, PWA,
performance, quality, and post-launch monitoring.

Local dirty-tree → merge-ready PR is **`workflow-release-prep`**, not this.

Copy this checklist and tick items as you go:

```
- [ ] Step 1: SEO: title, description, OG, canonical, JSON-LD, sitemap
- [ ] Step 2: PWA: manifest, service worker, offline; or note the skip
- [ ] Step 3: Bundle size: first-load JS 200 KB gzip or less
- [ ] Step 4: i18n: no hardcoded strings; skip if single locale, noted
- [ ] Step 5: Quality gate: a NO-GO verdict blocks launch
- [ ] Step 6: Deploy and smoke right after the production deploy
- [ ] Step 7: Day-1 iteration loop scheduled; launch checklist with verdict
```

## This skill vs neighbors

| Skill | Owns |
|---|---|
| **workflow-launch-ready** (this) | Pre-launch sweep: SEO, PWA, bundle, i18n, gate, deploy, day-1 loop |
| `workflow-quality-gate` | Pre-release gate across red-team, security, bundle, performance, unit tests |
| `workflow-release-prep` | Local working tree to a merge-ready PR against main; never merge |
| `deploy-verify` | Post-deploy smoke test across browser, Sentry, Supabase, Langfuse, public web |
| `iterate-post-launch` | Live app feedback loop: read signals, rank issues, fix, verify, repeat |
| `enhance-web-seo` | Audit and fix SEO: meta tags, structured data, sitemap, canonicals |
| `enhance-pwa` | Add or upgrade PWA features: manifest, service worker, offline, install prompt |

## How to reason

1. **Scope** — new app / major release, not a dirty-tree PR
2. **Sweep** — which steps apply; which are honest skips
3. **Verdict** — LAUNCH-READY / WITH CONDITIONS / NOT READY
4. **Handoff** — day-1 loop scheduled; blockers named

## Worked example

> **Scope:** first public launch of a Next.js + Supabase app; single locale; PWA wanted.
> **Sweep:** SEO + PWA + bundle + quality-gate; skip i18n with a note.
> **Verdict:** NOT READY — quality-gate NO-GO on missing RLS on `profiles`.
> **Handoff:** fix RLS, re-run Gate 2, then `deploy-verify`; do not treat this as `workflow-release-prep`.

## Self-critique before reporting

- **Not a PR-prep** — local dirty tree was not routed here
- **Skips named** — PWA/i18n skipped only when inapplicable, in the table
- **NO-GO blocks launch** — quality-gate NO-GO is NOT READY, not "with conditions"
- **Right owner** — merge-ready PR → `workflow-release-prep`; npm package → `deploy-npm`

## Sweep sequence  [LOW freedom — run exactly]

```
1. SEO          → enhance-web-seo    (meta, OG, JSON-LD, sitemap, canonicals)
2. PWA          → enhance-pwa        (manifest, service worker, offline, install)
3. BUNDLE       → audit-bundle-size  (first-load JS ≤ 200 KB goal)
4. i18n         → audit-i18n         (if multi-locale: natural copy, no hardcoded strings)
5. QUALITY GATE → workflow-quality-gate (red-team + security + perf + unit tests)
6. DEPLOY       → deploy-verify      (post-deploy smoke after the release)
7. ITERATE      → iterate-post-launch (close loop on day-1 production signals)
```

Skip steps 2 (PWA) and 4 (i18n) if not applicable — note the skip in the checklist.

## Step 1: SEO (read enhance-web-seo)  [HIGH freedom]

> Read the `enhance-web-seo` skill and follow it.

Every public page needs: `<title>`, `meta description`, OG tags, canonical URL,
structured data (JSON-LD), and a sitemap entry.

---

## Step 2: PWA (read enhance-pwa)  [HIGH freedom]

> Read the `enhance-pwa` skill and follow it.

Required: Web App Manifest + service worker with offline fallback, and no
installability errors in Chrome DevTools → Application → Manifest (Lighthouse 12
removed its PWA score).

---

## Step 3: Bundle size (read audit-bundle-size)  [HIGH freedom]

> Read the `audit-bundle-size` skill and follow it.

Target: first-load JS ≤ 200 KB gzip. All routes lazy-loaded.

---

## Step 4: i18n (read audit-i18n — skip if single locale)  [HIGH freedom]

> Read the `audit-i18n` skill and follow it.

Priority: no hardcoded user-facing strings, natural copy in all supported
locales, correct date/number/currency formatting.

---

## Step 5: Quality gate (read workflow-quality-gate)  [LOW freedom — hand off]

> Read the `workflow-quality-gate` skill and follow it.

This step runs test-red-team, audit-security, audit-performance, and test-unit
internally. A NO-GO verdict from this step blocks launch.

---

## Step 6: Deploy & smoke (read deploy-verify)  [LOW freedom — hand off]

> Read the `deploy-verify` skill and follow it.

Run immediately after the production deploy. Confirm no new Sentry errors,
schema is healthy, and critical flows work.

---

## Step 7: Day-1 iteration loop (read iterate-post-launch)  [LOW freedom — hand off]

> Read the `iterate-post-launch` skill and follow it.

Schedule this 24–48 hours after launch. Pull first real-user signals and
prioritize the first fix pass.
