Explicit invocation only: This skill should only run when the user explicitly requests it with
/launch-checklist. Do not auto-invoke based on context matching.
Read the argument for the launch date or dry-run mode. Dry-run mode generates the checklist without creating sign-off entries or writing files.

## Go / No-Go Decision
**Overall Status**: [READY / NOT READY / CONDITIONAL]
### Blocking Items
[List any items that must be resolved before launch]
### Conditional Items
[List items that have documented workarounds or accepted risk]
### Sign-Offs Required
- [ ] Creative Director — Content and experience quality
- [ ] Technical Director — Technical health and stability
- [ ] QA Lead — Quality and test coverage
- [ ] Producer — Schedule and overall readiness
- [ ] Release Manager — Build and deployment readiness
Present the completed checklist and summary to the user (total items, blocking items count, conditional items count, departments with incomplete sections).
If not in dry-run mode, ask: "May I write this to production/releases/launch-checklist-[date].md?"
If yes, write the file, creating directories as needed.
