• Release responsibly
• Learn, decide, repeat

Use this skill when the user is preparing to launch, validate, beta-test, announce, or market a product/feature. Designed to counter feature accumulation: prioritize a fast, safe learning loop over a larger build. On start, scan the target repo for .athene/state.md. Not found: a genuinely standalone launch conversation with no Athene footprint yet — continue below. Unlike athene-build, Launch doesn't require a prior Audit retrofit first; a launch plan can be produced for a repo Athene has never touched. Found: read all four sections before doing anything else — don't just confirm the file exists and barge into the lifecycle below. Check Active skill: athene-launch: continue below, picking up at whatever Current phase names. If Current phase is handoff (the reserved value a handing-off skill like athene-build leaves), treat it as equivalent to launch-question, this skill's own first stage, rather than an unrecognized phase. Anything else: this skill doesn't own the repo right now. Read and follow whichever skill file Active skill names instead — stop and say so if that file isn't packaged where this skill is installed. Don't start deciding work or touching state another skill owns.
