What the agent does
Badges from launch sites and press mentions are social proof for the production site, but pasted embed codes pile up into a slow, messy footer. Put the badges and mentions I have really earned into one tidy, fast section, kept in a data file, using each site's own badge code where its terms require it.
1. Collect what was earned
Ask me for each badge or mention: the site, what it was for (launched, top 3 of the week, featured article), the date, the link, and the badge embed code if the site provides one. Only include what I confirm.
2. Store it as data
Keep entries in one data file: name, kind, date, link, image or embed code. Where a site's badge must be its own code (some check for it to keep a listing's link), keep that code as given; otherwise use a local image.
3. Build the section
A compact row or grid in the footer or the about page, with consistent heights, images with width, height and alt text, lazy loading below the fold, and links that open the listing or article. Third-party badge scripts must not block rendering.
4. Keep it honest
Show each badge for what it is ("Launched on", not "Winner", unless it won), and keep the date. Remove badges whose listing no longer exists.
Done means
- Every badge and mention shown is one I confirmed.
- Entries live in one data file.
- Images have dimensions and alt text, and no badge script blocks rendering.
- Each badge says what it was for, honestly.
Questions
Do launch badges slow my site down?
Badges loaded with their own scripts can. Plain images with dimensions and lazy loading cost almost nothing; the prompt keeps any required scripts from blocking rendering.
Why keep a badge's code unchanged?
Some launch sites check that their badge is present to keep your listing's link dofollow or your listing live. Changing the code can make the check fail.
Where should the section go?
The footer or the about page. Near the main call to action, one or two strong badges can work as proof.
Does this prompt add links to Aback Launch to my site?
No. Nothing in the prompt mentions Aback Launch or asks your agent to link to us. The only exception is an optional badge step, which stays off unless you tick it. Some prompt libraries slip their own link into your codebase by default; we think that should always be your choice.
Which coding agents does it work with?
Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and any agent that can read your project and edit files. You can copy it as a plain prompt, save it as a Claude Code skill or a Cursor rule, or add it to AGENTS.md.
Is it safe to run on my real codebase?
The prompt makes the agent read first, show a plan and wait for your approval, and it forbids touching secrets, deploying and deleting data. Still review the changes and run your tests before you deploy, as with any change.
