Monitor my launch. First ask me for my product’s name, its domain and where I posted the launch. Find my Hacker News post with hackernews/search and read its thread with hackernews/item. Read posts on X with x/search-recent, Reddit with scrapecreators/get-v1-reddit-search and the press with serper/news. Finish with the overall reception, the questions and objections to answer now (with links), bugs reported, the people worth thanking, and what to post next. Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go.
