Launch Kit

Launch Kit

This folder is the repeatable distribution package for OSS launch cycles.

Use it when shipping a major release, announcing a wedge milestone, or running a re-launch.

Lead every launch asset with the same two lines:

  • Primary category line: Gait is the offline-first policy-as-code runtime for AI agent tool calls.
  • Supporting promise line: Prove the install fast, enforce at the tool boundary when you own the seam, and graduate to hardened oss-prod readiness explicitly.

Current safe-default rollout note:

  • ship examples/policy/knowledge_worker_safe.yaml as reversible-first profile
  • ship baseline-highrisk destructive budget defaults for fail-closed bursts
  • stage rollout: monitor -> approval -> enforce
  • when citing MCP trust, show local snapshot + gait mcp verify, not a hosted scanner replacement story
  • keep category language fixed: policy-as-code for agent tool calls, not control plane, dashboard, or framework replacement
  • keep packs, jobs, voice, context evidence, and MCP trust as supporting surfaces under that wedge, not competing category lines

Contents

  • narrative_one_liner.md: positioning statements by audience
  • hn_post.md: Hacker News launch post + first comment template
  • github_release_template.md: release page structure and copy
  • faq_objections.md: objection handling
  • kpi_scorecard.md: launch metrics and thresholds (M*, C*, D*)
  • activation_kpi_v2_6.md: activation milestone metrics (A1..A4, durable/policy branches)
  • content_cadence_v2_6.md: quarterly content plan for activation themes

Standard Adoption Proof Bundle (v2.3)

Bundle contents:

  • sample runpack
  • verify output
  • regress result
  • CI JUnit
  • intent+receipt conformance report
  • integration lane scorecard
  • v2.3 metrics snapshot

Canonical generator:

go build -o ./gait ./cmd/gait
bash scripts/test_v2_3_acceptance.sh ./gait

Generated artifacts:

  • gait-out/runpack_run_demo.zip (or quickstart workspace equivalent)
  • gait-out/v2_3_metrics_snapshot.json
  • gait-out/integration_lane_scorecard.json
  • gait-out/adoption_regress/regress_result.json (CI template path)

Suggested Launch Sequence

  1. run scripts/demo_90s.sh
  2. run scripts/test_v2_3_acceptance.sh ./gait and confirm release_gate_passed=true
  3. confirm first-run copy still matches gait doctor, gait init, gait check, gait demo, gait verify, and gait regress bootstrap
  4. generate ecosystem release notes:
python3 scripts/render_ecosystem_release_notes.py \
  docs/ecosystem/community_index.json \
  gait-out/ecosystem_release_notes.md \
  gait-out/v2_3_metrics_snapshot.json
  1. publish release using github_release_template.md
  2. post distribution threads and monitor kpi_scorecard.md
