Inspired by Karpathy's Sequoia talk: 'I would hope that I could give a prompt to an LLM, build menu gen, and then I didn't have to touch anything and it's deployed in that same way on the internet.' The skill is the forcing function that surfaces every place CCGM/CF infra is still human-shaped. - Category: workflow - Status: stable - Tags: skills, deployment, cloudflare-pages, agent-native, one-prompt, spec-driven - Dependencies: cloudflare, git-workflow, docs-for-agents - Presets: full - Context cost: no always-loaded rules - Last updated: 2026-06-14T18:25:23-04:00 - Available as a native plugin marketplace entry ## README # launch A `/launch ` skill that takes a one-page spec and walks the agent end-to-end to a deployed Cloudflare Pages site. The skill is a markdown prompt the orchestrating agent reads and follows — ten phases from pre-flight to verification, with one unavoidable hand-off where the user performs the Cloudflare dashboard's Connect-to-Git step. ## The Karpathy Forcing Function Karpathy on agent-native infra (Sequoia, 2026-04-29): > "A lot of the work, a lot of the trouble was not even writing the code for Menu Gen. It was deploying it in Vercel because I had to work with all these different services... I had to go to their settings and the menus and configure my DNS... I would hope that I could give a prompt to an LLM, build menu gen, and then I didn't have to touch anything and it's deployed in that same way on the internet. I think that would be a good kind of a test for whether or not a lot of our infrastructure is becoming more and more agent native." `/launch` is the test. Going from spec to deployed site requires multiple human-shaped steps today: dashboard project creation, DNS, secret provisioning. CCGM has `/cpm` for ongoing changes, `/ccgm-sync` for module sync, but no end-to-end `/launch`. This skill is also a probe — building it surfaces every place CCGM and Cloudflare infra are still human-shaped, and each gap is a follow-up. ## What This Module Provides | Source | Target | Purpose | |--------|--------|---------| | `skills/launch/SKILL.md` | `~/.claude/skills/launch/SKILL.md` | The skill prompt — ten phases the agent follows | | `examples/sample-spec.md` | `~/.claude/skills/launch/examples/sample-spec.md` | A small example spec the user can test against | The skill is installed globally so `/launch` is available in every project context. The example spec is a copy-paste starting point, not installed anywhere automatically. ## Manual Installation ```bash # From the CCGM repo root: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/launch/examples cp modules/launch/skills/launch/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/launch/SKILL.md cp modules/launch/examples/sample-spec.md ~/.claude/skills/launch/examples/sample-spec.md ``` ## Dependencies - `cloudflare` — encodes the Connect-to-Git rule the skill must respect. The skill never runs `wrangler pages deploy ` for project creation; it stops at the Pages-creation step and asks the user to perform the dashboard flow. See the constraint section below. - `git-workflow` — branch-from-origin/main, no AI attribution, PR template discipline. - `docs-for-agents` — Phase 3 of the skill scaffolds an `AGENTS.md` next to the project README so the deployed project is itself agent-native. ## Usage ```bash # Take a one-page spec and walk it to a deployed site: /launch path/to/spec.md # Dry-run: print every step that would be executed, do not run anything /launch path/to/spec.md mode:dry-run ``` The skill expects a one-page spec in the format documented by `code-quality/rules/spec-is-the-artifact.md`: **Problem / Deliverables / Constraints / Done-when**. The skill is flexible to whatever the user provides — if a section is missing, it asks once and continues. ### Example flow 1. User writes `spec.md` (problem, deliverables, constraints, done-when). 2. User runs `/launch spec.md`. 3. Skill performs Phase 0 pre-flight (auth checks for `gh` and `wrangler`, spec parseability). 4. Skill parses the spec and confirms project name, framework default (Vite + React TS), required secrets. 5. Skill creates the GitHub repo, scaffolds the project, implements the spec, commits incrementally, pushes to `main`. 6. Skill stops at Phase 6 and tells the user: "Open the Cloudflare dashboard, Workers & Pages > Create > Pages > Connect to Git, point it at this repo, use these build settings, then say 'done' to continue." 7. User performs the Connect-to-Git step in the browser. 8. Skill resumes, provisions secrets via `wrangler pages secret put`, optionally attaches a custom domain, verifies the deployed URL, and reports. ## Constraints (Non-Negotiable) ### Connect-to-Git only — no direct-upload Pages projects, ever The single most expensive Cloudflare mistake is creating a direct-upload Pages project (via `wrangler pages deploy `) instead of a Git-connected one. Cloudflare does not support retrofitting Git integration onto an existing direct-upload project. The only fix is to delete and recreate, which means migrating custom domains, env vars, and bindings — multi-session production work. **The `/launch` skill MUST NEVER run `wrangler pages deploy` to create a new project.** It stops at the Pages-creation step and instructs the user to perform the Connect-to-Git dashboard flow. This is enforced in the skill prompt's Phase 6, with explicit anti-pattern callouts. See `modules/cloudflare/rules/cloudflare.md` for the full rule. ### No AI attribution Per `git-workflow.md`: no `Co-Authored-By` Claude/AI/Anthropic trailers, no "Generated with Claude Code" footers in commits or PR bodies. The human is the author; the agent is a tool. ### Spec is the input contract The skill takes a spec. It does not generate a spec. If the spec is missing details the skill needs (project name, framework, secrets), the skill asks once and continues — it does not silently invent. See `modules/code-quality/rules/spec-is-the-artifact.md`. ## Scope ### v1 includes - One-page spec parsing (loose format: problem/deliverables/constraints/done-when) - GitHub repo creation via `gh repo create` - Project scaffold (default: Vite + React TypeScript; spec can override) - Implementation of spec deliverables - Push to GitHub - Pages project creation via Connect-to-Git (user performs the dashboard step) - Secret provisioning via `wrangler pages secret put` - Optional custom domain attachment - Verification: `curl` against the assigned Pages URL, confirm 200 + expected content - `mode:dry-run` that prints every command without executing - A scaffolded `AGENTS.md` so the deployed project is itself agent-native (Phase 3) ### v1 explicitly does NOT include (deferred follow-ups) - **Multi-cloud deploy targets.** CF Pages only. Workers, Vercel, Netlify, Render are follow-ups. - **Multiple framework templates beyond default + override.** Vite + React TS is the default. The spec can override (e.g., `framework: next`, `framework: astro`, `framework: static`), but the skill does not ship pre-built scaffolds for every option in v1 — it shells out to the framework's own scaffolder (`npm create vite@latest`, `npx create-next-app@latest`, etc.). - **Ongoing site updates.** The skill is for *initial launch*. Subsequent changes use `/cpm` for the commit/PR/merge cycle. Pages auto-deploys from the connected branch. - **Domain registration.** The skill expects the user to already own the domain. It can attach an owned domain to the Pages project; it does not buy domains. - **Building a full agent-native surface for the deployed project.** The deployed app is whatever the spec asks for. Producing a 12-tool agent-native surface as in the agent-native self-eval rubric is a separate exercise. - **Real end-to-end test against a fresh deployment.** Burning a real CF Pages project and a real GitHub repo for testing is out of scope for the PR that ships the skill. Real-world use will surface refinements and those are expected follow-ups. ## What `/launch` Is Not - **Not a replacement for `/cpm`.** `/launch` is for the initial creation of a project. Once the project exists and Pages is auto-deploying, ongoing changes go through `/cpm` (commit, PR, merge). - **Not a replacement for the agent-native self-eval rubric.** `/launch` produces a deployed site. The agent-native self-eval / red-team rubric (`rules/agent-native-self-eval.md`, from the `agent-native` module) evaluates whether that site (or any other system) satisfies the four agent-native principles. If you want a launched site that also passes that evaluation, run `/launch` first, then apply the rubric against the result. - **Not a planning tool.** If the spec needs to be designed first, use `/brainstorm` and `/xplan` to produce the spec, then feed it to `/launch`. ## Design Decisions ### Why a markdown skill prompt, not executable code CCGM skills are markdown prompts the orchestrating agent reads and follows. They are not executable code. The orchestrator owns the tools (`Bash`, `Read`, `Write`, `gh`, `wrangler`); the skill encodes the procedure the orchestrator should follow. This matches the rest of the CCGM skill surface (`/ce-review`, `/research`, `/document-review`) and lets the skill compose with whatever tools the agent has at hand without re-implementing them. ### Why ten phases, not three The natural seams of "launch a site from a spec" are: pre-flight, parse, repo creation, scaffold, implement, push, Pages, secrets, domain, verify, report. Collapsing them into three loses the failure-resume points — if the skill fails at "secrets," you do not want to re-run "scaffold." The phases correspond to resumable units of work. ### Why we stop for the Connect-to-Git step The Cloudflare dashboard's Connect-to-Git flow requires the user's browser session and explicit OAuth authorization for the GitHub repo. There is no `wrangler` command that creates a Git-integrated Pages project. The Cloudflare API surface (per the `cloudflare` module's rule) does not expose this either. The skill stops, explains exactly what to do, and resumes when the user confirms. This is the one place `/launch` is human-shaped, and the gap is filed as part of the issue's "forcing function" framing. ## Karpathy citation > "I would hope that I could give a prompt to an LLM, build menu gen, and then I didn't have to touch anything and it's deployed in that same way on the internet." > — Andrej Karpathy, Sequoia interview, 2026-04-29 Source transcript: `~/code/docs/transcripts/karpathy-vibe-coding-to-agentic-engineering-2026-04-29.md` ## Files ### skill #### skills/launch/SKILL.md ```` --- name: launch description: > Take a one-page spec and reach a deployed Cloudflare Pages site without further human input — except for the unavoidable Cloudflare Connect-to-Git dashboard step, which the skill stops to ask for. Ten phases - pre-flight, parse spec, create GitHub repo, scaffold project, implement deliverables, push, Pages via Connect-to-Git, provision secrets, optional custom domain, verify and report. Default scaffold is Vite + React TypeScript; the spec can override. The skill NEVER runs `wrangler pages deploy ` to create a project — direct-upload Pages projects cannot be retrofitted with Git integration. Modes - interactive (default) and dry-run. Triggers: launch this spec, deploy this spec, ship this spec, take spec to deploy, one-prompt deploy, end-to-end launch, /launch. disable-model-invocation: false --- # /launch — One-Prompt Spec to Deployed Cloudflare Pages A skill that walks a one-page spec all the way to a deployed Cloudflare Pages site. The skill is the prompt the orchestrating agent reads and follows; the orchestrator owns the tools (`Bash`, `Read`, `Write`, `gh`, `wrangler`). The skill is what makes the procedure repeatable. This skill exists because, as Karpathy put it (Sequoia, 2026-04-29): > "A lot of the work, a lot of the trouble was not even writing the code for Menu Gen. It was deploying it in Vercel because I had to work with all these different services. I had to go to their settings and the menus and configure my DNS. I would hope that I could give a prompt to an LLM, build menu gen, and then I didn't have to touch anything and it's deployed in that same way on the internet." The skill is the test of whether CCGM + Cloudflare infra is agent-native enough yet. Every place the skill stops to ask the user is a gap that is filed as a follow-up. --- ## CRITICAL CONSTRAINT: Connect-to-Git only **You must read this section before starting Phase 0.** Cloudflare Pages projects MUST be created via the dashboard's `Workers & Pages > Create > Pages > Connect to Git` flow at inception. You CANNOT add Git integration to an existing direct-upload Pages project later — Cloudflare does not support that conversion. Concretely, this skill MUST NOT run any of: - `wrangler pages deploy ` - `wrangler pages project create ` followed by `wrangler pages deploy` - Any other CLI command that creates a NEW Pages project as a direct-upload one If you do, the resulting project will never auto-deploy from `git push`. The user will discover this days or weeks later when the production site goes stale, and the only fix is to delete the project and recreate it via Connect-to-Git, migrating custom domains, env vars, and bindings — multi-session production work. **This rule has no exceptions for v1 of `/launch`.** If `wrangler` is the only path and Connect-to-Git is unavailable, STOP and report `BLOCKED`. Do not "make progress" by direct-upload. See `~/.claude/rules/cloudflare.md`. --- ## Modes Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for a mode token: | Mode | Behavior | |------|----------| | `mode:interactive` (default) | Full pipeline. Skill asks targeted questions when the spec is silent. Executes commands. Stops at Phase 6 for the user to perform the Connect-to-Git step, then resumes. | | `mode:dry-run` | Prints every `gh`, `git`, `npm`, `wrangler`, and `curl` command that would run, in order, with the inputs they would receive. Executes nothing. Skips the Phase 6 hand-off but prints the exact instructions the user would receive. Use this to verify the skill is correct against a spec before burning a real CF project. | In `mode:dry-run` no files are written, no repos are created, no commits are made, no deployments occur. The output is a transcript the user can review. --- ## Inputs ``` /launch [mode:dry-run] ``` The spec is a one-page markdown file in the format documented by `code-quality/rules/spec-is-the-artifact.md`: - **Problem** — what is broken or missing, why it matters - **Deliverables** — what will exist when this is done - **Constraints** — what must not change, what approaches are off the table - **Done-when** — how completion is verified The skill is flexible: not every section must be present. If a section is missing AND the skill needs that information to proceed (for example, the spec does not name a project), the skill asks once and continues. The skill never silently invents. If the spec also includes any of these optional fields, the skill uses them: - `project_name` — the GitHub repo name and CF Pages project name - `framework` — overrides the default (Vite + React TS); valid values are `vite-react-ts` (default), `vite-react`, `vite-vanilla`, `next`, `astro`, `static` - `domain` — a custom domain the user already owns - `visibility` — `public` (default) or `private`; passed to `gh repo create` - `secrets` — list of env-var names that must be set as Pages secrets - `success_criteria` — a curl-able URL pattern + expected content fragment, used in Phase 9 If the spec is missing entirely or is unparseable, return `BLOCKED` with a one-line explanation. --- ## Phase 0: Pre-Flight Run before any work. Each check is a one-line `Bash` invocation; the skill aborts and reports `BLOCKED` if any check fails. ### 0.1 Verify required CLIs exist and are authenticated ```bash # gh gh --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "BLOCKED: gh CLI not installed"; exit 1; } gh auth status >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "BLOCKED: gh CLI not authenticated. Run: gh auth login"; exit 1; } # wrangler npx -y wrangler --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "BLOCKED: wrangler not available via npx"; exit 1; } npx -y wrangler whoami >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "BLOCKED: wrangler not authenticated. Run: npx wrangler login"; exit 1; } # git git --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "BLOCKED: git not installed"; exit 1; } # node + npm (for scaffold) node --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "BLOCKED: node not installed"; exit 1; } npm --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "BLOCKED: npm not installed"; exit 1; } ``` In `mode:dry-run`, print these commands as the verification plan but do not execute the auth checks (they have no side effects, but printing them as a plan is consistent with dry-run semantics). ### 0.2 Verify the spec exists and is parseable ```bash test -f "" || { echo "BLOCKED: spec file not found at "; exit 1; } wc -l "" # sanity check: nontrivial content ``` If the spec file is empty or under 5 lines, return `NEEDS_CONTEXT` and ask the user to provide a real spec. ### 0.3 Print the plan Before doing anything, print a summary of what the skill is about to do: ``` /launch — plan summary - Spec: - Project: - Framework: - Domain: - Mode: - Phases: 0 (preflight, done) -> 1 (parse) -> 2 (repo) -> 3 (scaffold) -> 4 (implement) -> 5 (push) -> 6 (Pages: USER STEP) -> 7 (secrets) -> 8 (domain) -> 9 (verify) -> 10 (report) ``` In `interactive` mode, ask the user `proceed?` once. In `dry-run`, print the plan and proceed automatically (no side effects to confirm). --- ## Phase 1: Parse the Spec Read the spec file. Extract the four canonical sections (Problem, Deliverables, Constraints, Done-when) and the optional fields listed in the Inputs section. ### 1.1 What to do if a required field is missing If the spec does not include a usable project name (and there is no `project_name` field): - Derive a candidate from the spec's Problem heading (kebab-case the title). - Ask the user once via `AskUserQuestion`: > "I'm reading the spec but I do not see a project name. I propose ``. Use it, or supply a different one?" > Options: `Use `, `Custom (I'll type it)`, `Cancel` If the spec does not specify a framework: - Default is `vite-react-ts`. Tell the user (do not ask): "Defaulting to Vite + React TypeScript. Override in the spec with `framework: ` if you want something else." If the spec does not list secrets: - Assume zero secrets. Phase 7 becomes a no-op. The skill notes this in the final report. ### 1.2 Build the run config Materialize a single in-memory config object the rest of the phases consume: ``` { "project_name": "", "framework": "vite-react-ts", "domain": "", "visibility": "public", "secrets": ["NAME1", "NAME2"], "success_criteria": { "url_pattern": "https://.pages.dev", "expected_fragment": "" }, "spec_path": "" } ``` In `dry-run`, print this config and continue without further prompts. --- ## Phase 2: Create the GitHub Repo ```bash # 2.1 Create the repo (--public or --private from spec) gh repo create / \ -- \ --description "$(grep -m1 '^# ' | sed 's/^# //')" \ --confirm # 2.2 Clone locally to a working directory under /tmp or the user's code dir WORK_DIR="$HOME/code/" test -d "$WORK_DIR" && { echo "BLOCKED: $WORK_DIR already exists. Pick a different project name or remove the directory."; exit 1; } gh repo clone / "$WORK_DIR" cd "$WORK_DIR" ``` Notes: - `` is the authenticated GitHub user (`gh api user --jq .login`). The skill does NOT assume an org. - If the repo already exists on GitHub, the skill MUST stop and ask: "A repo named `/` already exists. Reuse it, or pick a different name?" Reuse is risky (may have stale main branch); default to picking a new name. - The skill does NOT add the repo to any organization or grant access to any other user. Owner-only by default. In `dry-run`, print the commands and a note that the working directory would be created at ``. --- ## Phase 3: Scaffold the Project Default: Vite + React + TypeScript. ```bash # 3.1 Scaffold via Vite (using the chosen framework) case "" in vite-react-ts) npm create vite@latest . -- --template react-ts ;; vite-react) npm create vite@latest . -- --template react ;; vite-vanilla) npm create vite@latest . -- --template vanilla-ts ;; next) npx create-next-app@latest . --ts --tailwind --eslint --app --no-src-dir --import-alias "@/*" --no-experimental-app ;; astro) npm create astro@latest . -- --template minimal --typescript strict --install --no-git ;; static) : ;; # Phase 4 will write index.html directly *) echo "BLOCKED: unknown framework "; exit 1 ;; esac # 3.2 Install deps. The Vite scaffolder may have already installed; running it # again is idempotent and ensures the lockfile is up to date. npm install # 3.3 Add an AGENTS.md so the deployed project is itself agent-native (per docs-for-agents rule) cat > AGENTS.md <<'EOF' # AGENTS.md Operational commands for this project. Human-readable docs are in README.md; this file is what an agent should run. ## Install ```bash npm install ``` ## Build ```bash npm run build ``` ## Dev ```bash npm run dev ``` ## Test ```bash npm test # if tests exist ``` ## Deploy This project deploys to Cloudflare Pages via Git integration. Push to `main` and Cloudflare auto-deploys. ```bash git push origin main ``` To deploy a non-main branch as a preview, push the branch; Pages creates a preview deployment automatically. EOF # 3.4 Add a basic .gitignore augmentation if Vite did not include common entries cat >> .gitignore <<'EOF' # Cloudflare .wrangler/ .dev.vars EOF # 3.5 First commit: scaffold git add -A git commit -m "Initial scaffold: via /launch" ``` Notes: - The first commit message MUST NOT include any AI attribution. Per `git-workflow.md`, no `Co-Authored-By` Claude/AI/Anthropic, no "Generated with Claude Code" footer. - The `AGENTS.md` is the agent-native counterpart to `README.md`. Per the `docs-for-agents` rule, any project that an agent will install/build/test/deploy/debug should have one. The skill writes it as part of scaffolding so the deployed project is born agent-native. - For `static` projects, Phase 3 produces just the `AGENTS.md` and `.gitignore`; Phase 4 writes `index.html` and any other source files. In `dry-run`, print the exact `npm create` invocation for the chosen framework, the `AGENTS.md` content, and the commit message; do not run anything. --- ## Phase 4: Implement the Spec Read the spec's Deliverables section. Generate the code that satisfies them. ### 4.1 What "implement" means in this skill The orchestrating agent owns implementation. The skill describes the procedure: 1. For each Deliverable line in the spec, decide which file(s) need to change. 2. Make the change. Use `Read` and `Edit` for existing files (the scaffold from Phase 3); use `Write` only for genuinely new files. 3. Commit incrementally. One commit per Deliverable, or one commit per logical chunk if Deliverables share files. The commit message names the deliverable: `Implement: `. 4. After all Deliverables are implemented, verify them against the spec's Done-when section. Run any commands the Done-when section calls out (tests, type-check, build). ### 4.2 Scope discipline The skill implements ONLY what the spec asks for. If you find yourself wanting to add a feature, refactor adjacent code, or "improve" the scaffold beyond the deliverables — STOP. Note the observation in the final report under `Deferred suggestions` and proceed. The spec is the contract. The PR for ongoing changes uses `/cpm`, not `/launch`. ### 4.3 Build verification After all commits, run: ```bash npm run build # or framework-equivalent: vite build, next build, astro build ``` If the build fails, report `BLOCKED` with the build output. Do not push a project that does not build. Do not create the Pages project against a broken main. In `dry-run`, print: "Implementation phase: would generate code for each deliverable in , commit incrementally, run `npm run build` to verify." --- ## Phase 5: Push to GitHub ```bash git branch -M main git push -u origin main ``` Do NOT push other branches in v1. The Pages Connect-to-Git flow defaults to `main` as production; preview branches are a follow-up concern. In `dry-run`, print the command. --- ## Phase 6: Cloudflare Pages — USER STEP (Connect-to-Git) **This is the only phase the skill cannot complete autonomously.** The skill stops here, prints clear instructions, and waits for the user to confirm. ### 6.1 What the skill prints ``` --- Phase 6: Cloudflare Pages project creation (Connect-to-Git) --- This step requires your browser. The skill cannot do it for you. The Cloudflare API does not expose a "create Pages project with Git integration" endpoint, so the dashboard flow is the only correct path. DO NOT run `wrangler pages deploy ` to "make progress". That creates a direct-upload project that Cloudflare cannot retrofit with Git integration. The only fix later is to delete and recreate. Steps: 1. Open: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers-and-pages/create/pages 2. Click "Connect to Git" 3. Authorize the GitHub repo: / 4. Select branch: main 5. Configure build settings: - Framework preset: - Build command: - Build output dir: - Root directory: / 6. Click "Save and Deploy" 7. Wait for the first deployment to finish (1-3 minutes) 8. Copy the assigned `.pages.dev` URL 9. Return here and paste the URL, or type "done" if there were no issues Build settings by framework: | Framework | Build command | Output directory | |----------------|-----------------|------------------| | vite-react-ts | npm run build | dist | | vite-react | npm run build | dist | | vite-vanilla | npm run build | dist | | next | npm run build | .next | (use the Next.js preset) | astro | npm run build | dist | | static | (leave empty) | . | (Project name to use in the dashboard: ) --- ``` ### 6.2 What the skill does after the user says "done" Verify the project was created correctly: ```bash # 6.3 Confirm the project exists with Git integration npx -y wrangler pages project list 2>/dev/null | grep -E "" || { echo "BLOCKED: project not found in `wrangler pages project list`." echo "Did you complete the Connect-to-Git step in the dashboard?" exit 1 } # 6.4 Capture the assigned Pages URL # The user is asked to paste the URL when they confirm "done". Store it in PAGES_URL. # If the user said "done" without a URL, default to the conventional pattern and ask once # to confirm. The conventional pattern is https://.pages.dev but Cloudflare # may assign a hash-suffixed alias for projects that conflict. PAGES_URL="https://.pages.dev" # default; override if user pasted a different one ``` If the user pasted the URL, use it. If they said "done" without a URL, ask once: "What's the assigned `.pages.dev` URL?" and store it. The skill does NOT attempt to verify Git-Provider status programmatically in v1 — `wrangler pages project list` does not expose the field reliably. The skill trusts the user's confirmation that they used Connect-to-Git, and the user is on the hook for not having taken the direct-upload path. (The instructions printed in 6.1 are explicit; the rule lives in the skill.) ### 6.3 Dry-run behavior In `dry-run`, print the full instruction block from 6.1 with the actual `` substituted, and a note: "Skill would stop here in interactive mode. Skipping in dry-run; downstream phases assume the project exists at https://.pages.dev." --- ## Phase 7: Provision Secrets For each name in `secrets` from Phase 1's run config: ```bash # 7.1 Ask the user for each secret value. Never log the value. for SECRET_NAME in ; do read -rs -p "Value for $SECRET_NAME: " SECRET_VALUE echo "$SECRET_VALUE" | npx -y wrangler pages secret put "$SECRET_NAME" --project-name "" unset SECRET_VALUE done ``` Notes: - The skill MUST NOT log secret values. Use `read -rs` (silent mode) and pipe to `wrangler` directly. - If `` is empty, this phase is a no-op. Print: "No secrets to provision." - If a secret already exists, `wrangler pages secret put` overwrites it; that is acceptable behavior and the skill does not warn. - After provisioning, trigger a redeploy by pushing an empty commit (Pages does not auto-redeploy on secret changes): ```bash git commit --allow-empty -m "Trigger redeploy: secrets provisioned" git push origin main ``` In `dry-run`, print the secret names and the `wrangler pages secret put` invocations without prompting for values. --- ## Phase 8: Custom Domain (Optional) If the spec specifies a `domain`: ```bash # 8.1 Attach the domain via wrangler npx -y wrangler pages deployment tail --project-name "" >/dev/null 2>&1 & # smoke check the project is reachable TAIL_PID=$! sleep 1 kill $TAIL_PID 2>/dev/null # 8.2 Add the custom domain # Note: as of the skill's authoring, `wrangler pages domain add` exists; verify with `wrangler pages domain --help` npx -y wrangler pages domain add "" --project-name "" || { echo "Domain attach failed. Falling back to dashboard instructions:" echo "1. Open: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers-and-pages//custom-domains" echo "2. Click 'Set up a custom domain'" echo "3. Enter: " echo "4. Follow CNAME / DNS instructions" echo "" echo "This is a deferred step. The skill will continue to Phase 9 with the .pages.dev URL." } ``` Notes: - DNS propagation can take minutes. The skill does NOT block on DNS — it attaches the domain and continues. Phase 9 verification uses the `.pages.dev` URL, not the custom domain. - If the user does not yet own the domain (DNS lookup fails), the skill prints: "Domain `` is not registered or does not have a DNS record yet. Skipping. Attach it later via the dashboard." Continues to Phase 9. If no `domain` is in the spec, this phase is a no-op. In `dry-run`, print the `wrangler pages domain add` invocation and the dashboard fallback URL. --- ## Phase 9: Verify the Deployment ```bash # 9.1 HEAD request to the .pages.dev URL PAGES_URL="https://.pages.dev" HTTP_STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -I "$PAGES_URL") test "$HTTP_STATUS" = "200" || { echo "BLOCKED: $PAGES_URL returned HTTP $HTTP_STATUS, expected 200." echo "Possible causes: deployment still in progress (wait 1-2 min and retry); build failed (check dashboard); project misconfigured." exit 1 } # 9.2 Content check (if the spec provided expected_fragment) if [ -n "" ]; then curl -s "$PAGES_URL" | grep -q "" || { echo "WARN: $PAGES_URL responded 200 but did not contain expected fragment: " echo "The site is live but may not match the spec's success criteria. Investigate." } fi ``` Notes: - Per the `condition-based-waiting` rule, do NOT add arbitrary `sleep` between Phase 6 and Phase 9. If the first `curl` returns a non-200 (likely a 522 or 503 while the build is in flight), poll with bounded retry: 5 attempts, 10 seconds apart, then BLOCKED. ```bash for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do HTTP_STATUS=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -I "$PAGES_URL") test "$HTTP_STATUS" = "200" && break sleep 10 done test "$HTTP_STATUS" = "200" || { echo "BLOCKED: deployment did not return 200 within 50s"; exit 1; } ``` In `dry-run`, print the curl commands and the bounded-retry loop, do not execute. --- ## Phase 10: Report Print a structured final report. Format: ``` --- /launch — DONE --- Project: Spec: Repo: https://github.com// Pages URL: https://.pages.dev Custom domain: Secrets set: Build status: 200 OK Content check: <"matched expected fragment" or "(skipped, no fragment in spec)"> Verification evidence: - gh repo view /: exists - git log on main: commits, last commit: "" - curl -I https://.pages.dev: HTTP/2 200 - (if applicable) Custom domain status: attached / pending DNS / dashboard fallback Deferred suggestions (NOT implemented; spec did not ask for these): - - - (or "(none)") Next steps: - For ongoing changes: use /cpm to commit/PR/merge. Pages auto-deploys on push to main. - To audit agent-native readiness: apply the agent-native self-eval / red-team rubric (`rules/agent-native-self-eval.md`) against the deployed surface. - If the custom domain is still pending DNS, attach via the dashboard once DNS resolves. ``` End with a single-line status token on its own line: ``` DONE ``` Or `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` if Phase 8 (custom domain) deferred to dashboard, or any non-blocking warning surfaced. The Concerns block lists each. In `dry-run`, the final report is replaced with: ``` --- /launch — DRY RUN COMPLETE --- The skill would have: 1. Verified gh, wrangler, git, node, npm 2. Parsed and built the run config (printed above) 3. Created GitHub repo / as 4. Cloned to 5. Scaffolded 6. Implemented deliverables, committed each 7. Pushed to origin/main 8. Stopped to ask the user to perform the Connect-to-Git step 9. Provisioned secrets via wrangler pages secret put 10. (if applicable) Attached via wrangler pages domain add 11. Verified https://.pages.dev returns 200 12. Reported success No commands were executed. No repos created. No deployments made. DONE (dry-run) ``` --- ## Failure Modes and Status Tokens The skill ends with one of four status tokens, per CCGM convention: | Token | When | |-------|------| | `DONE` | All phases completed; deployed URL returns 200; content check (if specified) matched; no deferred steps. | | `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` | Deployment is live but at least one phase deferred (e.g., custom domain pending DNS) or a non-blocking warning surfaced. The Concerns block names each. | | `BLOCKED` | A phase failed in a way the skill cannot resolve (e.g., wrangler not authenticated, build failed, repo name conflict). The report names the phase and the specific failure. | | `NEEDS_CONTEXT` | The spec is under-specified in a way that asking once cannot fix (e.g., the spec is empty, or Deliverables section is missing entirely). The report names the gap. | Never end with a free-form summary. Always end with one of the four tokens on its own line. --- ## Anti-Patterns (Do NOT Do These) - **Running `wrangler pages deploy ` to create a project.** Forbidden in v1. Direct-upload projects cannot be retrofitted with Git integration. STOP and report `BLOCKED` instead. - **Skipping Phase 6 and assuming the user "knows" the dashboard step.** The skill's job is to make the procedure explicit. Print the instruction block in 6.1 verbatim, including the build command and output directory for the chosen framework. - **Including AI attribution in commits or PR bodies.** No `Co-Authored-By` Claude/AI/Anthropic. No "Generated with Claude Code" footers. The human is the author. - **Implementing more than the spec asks for.** If the spec says "build a landing page with three sections," do not also add an admin panel. Note adjacent suggestions in the Deferred suggestions block of the final report. - **Logging secret values.** Use `read -rs` and pipe directly to `wrangler`. Never `echo` the value. Never include the value in a commit, branch name, or filename. - **Sleeping on Phase 9 with arbitrary delays.** Use the bounded retry loop in 9.2. Per `condition-based-waiting`, fixed sleeps are an anti-pattern; bounded retries with a clear failure message are the correct shape. - **Pushing a broken build.** Phase 4 ends with `npm run build`. If it fails, do not proceed to Phase 5. Pages will fail to build, the user will not have a deployed site, and they will have to debug from a partially-launched state. - **Reusing an existing GitHub repo without explicit consent.** Phase 2's "repo already exists" branch defaults to picking a new name. Reuse only if the user explicitly says so. - **Adding the agent as a contributor or collaborator on the new repo.** The repo is owned by the authenticated user; the agent is a tool, not a collaborator. Do not run `gh api repos/.../collaborators/...`. - **Ending with prose instead of a status token.** End with exactly one of `DONE`, `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS`, `BLOCKED`, `NEEDS_CONTEXT` on its own line. --- ## Rationalizations That Mean You Are About to Violate the Connect-to-Git Rule | You are about to say... | The reality is... | |-------------------------|-------------------| | "Just one direct-upload to test the pipeline" | A direct-upload project becomes the production artifact. The user will not delete and recreate it later — they will live with a stale site. | | "wrangler pages deploy is faster than asking the user to open the dashboard" | Faster now, multi-session migration later when the user discovers the site does not auto-deploy. | | "The user said they're in a hurry, let me skip Phase 6" | Phase 6 cannot be skipped. The dashboard is the only correct path for project creation. Print the instruction block and wait. | | "I'll create the project via wrangler now and convert to Git later" | Cloudflare does not support that conversion. There is no "later". | | "I'll deploy via wrangler and ask the user to add Git integration after" | Same problem. Connect-to-Git is inception-only. | If you find yourself reaching for `wrangler pages deploy `, STOP. Read the constraint section at the top of this file again. --- ## Composition with Other CCGM Skills - **`/cpm`** — for ongoing changes after the project is launched. `/launch` is initial-creation only. - **agent-native self-eval rubric** (`rules/agent-native-self-eval.md`, from the `agent-native` module) — to evaluate whether the launched site satisfies the four agent-native principles. Apply after `/launch` if the spec implies an agent-native surface. - **`/brainstorm` and `/xplan`** — to produce the spec that `/launch` consumes. If the user has only a fuzzy idea, run those first. - **`/research`** — for technical context the spec author might need before writing the spec. `/launch` is one stop in the larger flow: ``` fuzzy idea -> /ideate -> /brainstorm -> /xplan -> spec.md -> /launch -> deployed site | +-> /cpm for ongoing changes +-> agent-native self-eval rubric for surface audit ``` --- ## Source Issue: ccgm#443. Karpathy on agent-native infra (Sequoia, 2026-04-29): > "I would hope that I could give a prompt to an LLM, build menu gen, and then I didn't have to touch anything and it's deployed in that same way on the internet. I think that would be a good kind of a test for whether or not a lot of our infrastructure is becoming more and more agent native."

Existing tools either require an account, run a heavy SPA for what should be 50 lines of code, or insert ads. There is no canonical "word-counter.pages.dev" the way there is `whois`. A one-page tool that takes pasted text and returns word count, character count (with and without spaces), and reading-time estimate solves the problem in the smallest possible surface. ## Deliverables - Single-page Vite + React TypeScript app, deployed to `.pages.dev` - A `
