> **A launch does not fail because it was unseen. It fails because its momentum was never engineered.**

Pump is a momentum trigger for launches, releases, and first-day attention design.

This skill is built for people who want more than “post and pray.”
It helps turn a launch into a structured momentum event.

Use this skill when you need to:
- design a stronger day-one launch curve
- sequence attention triggers before and after release
- avoid weak, flat, forgettable launches
- create a sharper release rhythm for a product, skill, campaign, or digital asset
- concentrate attention so the launch feels alive instead of scattered
- turn launch timing into a force multiplier

This skill does NOT:
- guarantee virality
- buy traffic
- replace product quality
- execute posting, automation, or paid distribution
- act as a general marketing strategy for all time horizons

## What This Skill Does

Pump helps:
- design first-day launch logic
- identify momentum-killing weak points before release
- sequence reveal, proof, urgency, and participation triggers
- improve the odds that a launch feels active, concentrated, and worth noticing
- convert a flat “announcement” into a momentum event

---

## Best Use Cases

- product launch planning
- skill launch design
- campaign rollout structure
- creator release sequencing
- landing-page launch timing
- digital product release
- community-based launch coordination
- attention spike design for new offers

---

## What to Provide

Useful input includes:
- what is being launched
- target audience
- launch date or window
- current audience size
- existing channels
- whether the goal is activation, installs, signups, sales, or visibility
- whether the weak point is awareness, urgency, credibility, or participation
- what will happen before, during, and after launch day

If the user has not defined the launch window, audience, or core trigger, this skill should identify what is missing before overconfident planning.

## Standard Output Format

PUMP LAUNCH ASSESSMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Launch Target: [What is going live]
Primary Goal: [Installs / Signups / Sales / Visibility / Activation]
Momentum Type: [Spike / Wave / Layered / Community-driven]

MOMENTUM READINESS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trigger Strength: [Strong / Medium / Weak]
Day-One Energy: [High / Medium / Low]
Attention Concentration: [Tight / Loose / Scattered]

MAIN WEAKNESSES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ [No strong trigger]
⚠️ [Timing too passive]
⚠️ [No social proof or credibility moment]
⚠️ [No urgency or reason to act now]
⚠️ [Too many channels, no concentrated push]

TRIGGER SEQUENCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Pre-launch ignition: [What should happen before launch]
2. Launch spark: [What hits first when it goes live]
3. Proof layer: [What builds credibility fast]
4. Participation layer: [What gets people involved]
5. Follow-through layer: [What sustains momentum after the spike]

FIRST-DAY CURVE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Hour 0-2: [What should happen]
- Hour 2-6: [What should happen]
- Hour 6-12: [What should happen]
- Hour 12-24: [What should happen]

RECOMMENDED NEXT STEP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- [What to tighten, simplify, stage, or amplify next]

## Momentum Principles

- launches are won by concentration, not by vague presence
- attention should be staged, not dumped
- a release needs a reason to move now, not later
- proof should appear early, not after attention is already gone
- urgency without clarity creates noise
- energy dies fast when no one knows what to do next
- the first day should feel like an event, not a post

---

## Launch Curve Lens

When analyzing a launch, ask:

- Why should people care on day one instead of week three?
- What is the first strong trigger?
- What makes the release feel alive, urgent, or socially real?
- Where does momentum die if nobody reacts immediately?
- Is this launch concentrated enough to feel like a signal?
- Does the audience know what to do when the release appears?

## Execution Protocol (for AI agents)

When user asks for launch or release help, follow this sequence:

### Step 1: Parse launch context
Extract:
- what is launching
- who it is for
- what success means
- what channels exist
- what proof, urgency, or community energy is available
- what the current launch plan looks like

### Step 2: Diagnose momentum weakness
Check:
- weak opening trigger
- no urgency
- no social proof
- weak sequencing
- diluted attention
- no participation mechanism
- no post-launch sustain logic

### Step 3: Design trigger sequence
Suggest:
- pre-launch ignition
- launch spark
- proof layer
- participation layer
- follow-through layer

### Step 4: Shape the first-day curve
Map:
- what should happen in the first hours
- where credibility appears
- where interaction gets triggered
- how to avoid the launch flattening too early

### Step 5: Output launch logic
Return:
- momentum diagnosis
- first-day curve
- trigger sequence
- key weakness
- next refinement step

### Step 6: Guardrails
If the user has not defined enough about audience, goal, or launch timing:
- say so clearly
- do not fake launch certainty
- ask for the missing strategic inputs if needed

## Activation Rules (for AI agents)

### Use this skill when the user asks about:
- product launch
- launch timing
- first-day growth
- release momentum
- launch sequencing
- release strategy
- cold-start attention
- how to make a launch hit harder

### Do NOT use this skill when:
- the user only wants generic branding advice
- the user needs long-term content strategy instead of a launch moment
- the user wants paid media execution
- the user needs automation or ad-buying setup
- the user asks for guaranteed breakout outcomes

### If context is ambiguous
Ask:
"Do you want launch-momentum design for a release event, or broader marketing strategy?"

## Boundaries

This skill supports launch sequencing, day-one momentum design, and attention-curve planning.

It does not replace:
- paid distribution strategy
- brand strategy in full
- product validation
- community management execution
- platform-specific moderation or policy review
