launch-review

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. 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. Load calibration Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude for legal/product legal/CLAUDE.md : Review framework — the categories to check Risk calibration — what blocks vs. what's FYI at this company Launch review process — output format Escalation — when to route up The calibration table is the difference between this skill and a generic checklist. If the table says "new data collection → PIA, ships in 1 2 days," don't write "this might require a full DPIA and regulatory consultation." Match the team's actual practice. Workflow Step 1: Get the inputs PRD — from file, Drive, or the launch tracker ticket Spec/design doc — if separate Marketing plan — if there is one (hands off to marketing claims review if substantial) Launch date — for urgency calibration Launch tracker ticket — if connected, pull it for context and comments If Jira/Linear MCP is connected, pull the ticket history — often there's context in earlier comments that the PRD doesn't capture. Step 2: Understand what's launching Before the checklist, answer in plain English: What does this thing do? Who uses it — existing users, new users, a new segment? What's new vs. what's an extension of something already reviewed? Any new data, new vendors, new claims, new jurisdictions? AI detection — run before the framework walk. Check whether this launch uses AI in any form: a third party model, an internally built model, an AI powered vendor feature, automated scoring or classification, generative content, recommendations, predictions. Look for this even if the PRD doesn't label it "AI" — words like "intelligent", "automated", "personalized", "generated", "suggested" are tells. If AI component detected → flag it, then run /ai governance legal:use case triage [feature] alongside the framework walk. Category 8 below handles the detail; this flag ensures it's never skipped even if the PRD is vague. Step 3: Walk the framework For each category in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude for legal/product legal/CLAUDE.md → Review framework. If the team doesn't have one, use the 8 category default below. The categories are stable framing concepts; within each category, research the regulatory regimes applicable to the product's sector, audience, and jurisdictions before calibrating severity. What blocks in one jurisdiction or sector may be routine in another — ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude for legal/product legal/CLAUDE.md captures the team's calibration. Category Key question Auto skip if 1 Contractual commitments Does this conflict with any customer facing promise (ToS, SLA, marketing)? No customer facing changes 2 Privacy New data collection, new purpose, new sharing? No data changes 3 Security New attack surface, new data at rest, new access patterns? UI only, no backend change 4 IP Third party code/content? Open source license check? Outputs that could infringe? No new dependencies, no user generated content 5 Third party New vendor, partner, or integration? No new external parties 6 Regulatory Does this touch a regulated sector, audience, or jurisdiction? Research the applicable regimes. Same users, same sectors, same jurisdictions as existing product No silent supplement. If a research query to the configured legal research tool (Westlaw, CourtListener, regulator sites, or firm platform) returns few or no results for a regime, enforcement precedent, or regulator guidance, report what was found and stop. Do NOT fill the gap from web search or model knowledge without asking. Say: "The search returned [N] results from [tool]. Coverage appears thin for [regime / topic]. Options: (1) broaden the search query, (2) try a different research tool, (3) search the web — results will be tagged [web search — verify] and should be checked against the issuing authority before relying, or (4) flag as unverified and stop. Which would you like?" A lawyer decides whether to accept lower confidence sources. Source attribution tiering. Tag every citation in the review with its source. For model knowledge citations, use one of three tiers rather than a single blanket "verify" tag: [settled] — stable, well known statutory and regulatory references unlikely to have changed (e.g., FTC Act § 5, GDPR Art. 33, CCPA § 1798.100). Still verify before relying on it to clear a launch, but lower priority. [verify] — model knowledge citations that are real but should be verified: specific implementing regulations, agency guidance, enforcement actions, case holdings, thresholds, effective dates, post 2023 amendments. [verify pinpoint] — pinpoint citations (specific subsection letters, volume/page numbers, paragraph numbers) carry the highest fabrication risk and should ALWAYS be verified against a primary source. Tool retrieved citations keep their source tag ( [Westlaw] , [CourtListener] , [regulator site] , or the MCP tool name); web search citations remain [web search — verify] ; user supplied citations (from the PRD or seed materials) remain [user provided] . The tiering surfaces the real verification work — a reader who verifies everything verifies nothing. Never strip or collapse the tags. [platform policy — verify against live docs] — platform rules (Apple App Store Review Guidelines, Google Play policies, Meta / Snap / TikTok creator rules, ESRB / PEGI descriptors, card network rules, app store in app purchase policies) cited without fetching the live page. Never use [settled] for a platform policy — these change without notice and the model's snapshot is almost always stale. If the launch hinges on a platform rule, fetch the current policy page in session before relying on it. 7 Marketing claims Any claims that need substantiation? No marketing component 8 AI governance Does this use AI in any form? Is the use case in the registry? AIA done? Vendor AI terms reviewed? No AI component detected in Step 2 For each category, output: Auto skip honestly. If a category doesn't apply, say so with a one line reason. Don't pad. Sector hints. The 8 category framework above is enterprise SaaS shaped. If the launch involves any of the sectors below, add the overlay: ask the overlay question alongside the base framework question for each affected category, and surface the sector specific regime before calibrating severity. A launch that checks all 8 boxes but misses a sector regime still ships with a hole. Sector Overlay regimes to surface Children / minors COPPA (US — operators of services directed to children under 13 or with actual knowledge), CA AADC / state age appropriate design codes, platform age ratings (ESRB, PEGI), addictive design scrutiny (NY Safe for Kids Act, CA SB 976 and analogs), FTC endorsement guides for kid directed influencers Gaming / loot boxes / in game currency Loot box odds disclosure (CA AB 2476 style, Chinese / Korean / Belgian / Dutch regimes), ESRB / PEGI descriptors (In Game Purchases, Loot Boxes, Real Gambling), state gambling law (games of chance vs. games of skill lines, sweepstakes promotions law), FTC dark patterns guidance, platform store policies (Apple, Google, console) Financial / fintech GLBA (NPI, Safeguards Rule, Reg P), state money transmission licensing (MTLs across ~50 states + DC), CFPB UDAAP, state UDAP, bank partner sponsorship requirements and "true lender" exposure, Reg E / Reg Z where applicable, FINRA if brokerage Health HIPAA (if CE or BA), FDA SaMD / clinical decision support / general wellness exemption, state health privacy (WA MHMDA, NV SB 370, CT HIPAA analog), FTC Health Breach Notification Rule for non HIPAA entities Education FERPA (if school or school acting service provider), state student privacy (NY Ed Law 2 d, IL SOPPA, CA SOPIPA + AB 1584), COPPA if K 12 data under 13 Employment / HR tech Title VII, EEOC guidance on AI in hiring, ADA, state AI hiring laws (IL AIVIA, NYC Local Law 144, CA / CO / UT / NJ analogs under consideration or enacted), state biometric laws (IL BIPA, TX / WA analogs) for video interview and keystroke products, FCRA for background / verification products Government / public sector FedRAMP (Low / Moderate / High), FAR / DFARS, CMMC where applicable, state level equivalents (StateRAMP), CJIS for law enforcement data, IRS Publication 1075 for tax data, StateRAMP and state procurement rules Consumer / retail / marketing FTC Act § 5, Made in USA rule, Green Guides, CAN SPAM, TCPA (with TCPA Shaken/Stir for calls), state auto renewal (ROSCA, CA ARL, NY GBL § 527 a [consumer] or GOL § 5 903 [B2B services] — verify which applies), state sweepstakes/promotions law If a sector hint fires and no dedicated category in the base framework covers it, insert it as a category (e.g., "6a. Sector overlay — children / COPPA + CA AADC"). Don't let it disappear into category 6 Regulatory as an afterthought; the sector regime often supplies the controlling floor, not a footnote. Step 4: Calibrate severity For each finding, check against the calibration table in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude for legal/product legal/CLAUDE.md: If it matches a "usually FYI" pattern → note it, don't block If it matches "usually requires work" → specify the work, estimate timeline from the table If it matches "usually blocks" → flag prominently, route per escalation table If it's novel (not in the table) → say so explicitly: "This doesn't match any pattern in the calibration — needs a human call" Step 5: Assemble the review Format per ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude for legal/product l
