− - `whoami` (read): Start here. Returns your Launchdog account, Maker Pass, each limit with what is left, your products with their launch checklists (resume from the first open step), open orders, and the actions only the web can do (paying, voting).− - `update_product` (write): Edit the listing. Rules: name ≤ 40 characters; tagline ≤ 60; description 150–1,200 characters of plain prose (no hype words like "revolutionary"); up to 3 categories; up to 8 built-with tools. Pass dry_run: true to lint and preview without saving — show the maker, then save after their OK. A new url is refused once booked and clears the domain verification and badge (check_badge again). Only the fields you pass change.− - `get_badge_snippet` (write): Free launch only (paid launches need no badge): the Launchdog badge for your site, in the syntax of the framework this repo uses (pick it from the repo). It goes on the site's home page, in the HTML the server sends (not only rendered by JavaScript) — a footer is fine — and it is also how the domain gets verified: nothing else to add. Paste it as-is, deploy, then call check_badge. The listing's address is fixed from the first snippet on.− - `check_badge` (write): Free launch only. Fetches the site's home page and confirms the badge links to your listing; the first time it does, that verifies the domain (the badge is the only proof Launchdog asks for). If it answers status: checking, wait and call again. Failures say why (redirected, noindex, a JavaScript-only page, not found).− - `list_launch_weeks` (read): The next 12 launch weeks (Monday–Sunday UTC) with seats left and prices, whether you can book each tier there (and why not), the earliest free week, and what each tier needs (`tiers`: free needs the Launchdog badge on the site; paid needs nothing else). Show the maker the free and paid options side by side and let them choose; never buy.− - `schedule_launch` (write): Books the product into a launch week — only after the maker's OK. Paid (launch, featured): needs nothing beyond a complete listing — no badge, no site edits; holds the seat and returns checkout_url + hold_expires_at — give the maker the link (never pay yourself), then confirm with get_launch. Free: the earliest open week at least 7 days out (or the week you pass); it needs the Launchdog badge on the site, and without it answers badge_missing with the steps to add it.− - Free: a week with open free seats, at least 7 days out, one every 30 days. Needs the Launchdog badge on the site's home page (free launch only; it also verifies the domain). A permanent listing, with a followed link to the site once the badge is seen and the listing check passes.− - Launch ($19): pick your week.

A pasted profile URL or @handle is fine; "" removes a link (bio: "" clears the bio). github shows their GitHub sign-in (whoami profile.github) only if you pass that login, after they agree. Draft it from what you can see — the README, package.json + - `send_feedback` (write): Tells the Launchdog team, in the maker's name, about a step that was harder than it should have been: a confusing result, an error whose fix did not help, a missing tool, or something the maker said about Launchdog.
