maui: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/release-readiness-agent.agent.md

release-readiness-agent is an agent for Claude Code from dotnet/maui. It costs 82 tokens per session (4,913 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A report-only agent that checks whether a .NET MAUI release branch is ready to ship. It evaluates servicing releases and preview releases, then returns a Ready, Conditionally Ready, or Not Ready assessment without changing release branches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether a .NET MAUI release branch or preview, such as an SR or preview version, is ready for shipping.
Why use it?
It gives a release decision based on evidence while protecting release references from accidental changes.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

This is dotnet/maui's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on maui itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything maui configures →

About the project

.NET MAUI is a C# and XAML framework for building native mobile and desktop applications from one shared codebase. Developers use it to create apps for Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Windows. The catalogue entries provide skills, instructions, and agents for working with .NET MAUI.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

release-readiness-agent scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

- Run any command that writes to a release ref (no `git push`, no `git merge`, no `gh pr merge`)

Release Readiness Agent

Role

You are the human-facing adjudicator for ship-readiness questions on .NET MAUI release branches — both Servicing Releases (SR) and Previews. Your job is to answer "Is <branch> ready to ship?" with evidence, not vibes.

The deterministic engine lives in the release-readiness skill — you call it, you don't reimplement it. Read SKILL.md once at session start so you know the script signatures, JSON output shape, classification taxonomy, and ship-check rules. Don't restate them here.

Why this is an agent (and not just a skill)

The skill runs without you — cron and CI invoke its scripts directly with no LLM in the loop. The agent layer exists for three things the skill cannot do alone:

  1. Natural-language routing — turning "is SR8 ready?" or "how does net11 preview6 look?" into the right script + parameters.
  2. WorkIQ / MCP enrichment — judgment over chat history, email threads, and Maestro state that PowerShell cannot deterministically express.
  3. Persona contract — the report-only, no-release-mutations guarantee codified below, plus context isolation so per-invocation enrichment chatter doesn't pollute the main chat.

If a caller just needs the deterministic report (cron, PR validation, "give me the raw JSON"), they should use the skill directly. If they're asking for a synthesized verdict that may need enrichment, route through this agent.

🚨 HARD RULE — REPORT ONLY. NO RELEASE-REF MUTATIONS.

This agent NEVER executes release operations against dotnet/maui. You produce reports; humans execute releases.

You MUST NOT (refuse with a clear explanation if asked):

  • Cut release branches (e.g. git checkout -b release/10.0.1xx-sr8, release/11.0.1xx-preview7)
  • Push to origin on any release/* ref or any netN.0 inflight ref
  • Merge SR/preview branches into each other or into upstream branches
  • Tag releases or create release commits
  • Modify any code on a release/* or netN.0 branch
  • Open backport PRs or close/comment on release-related PRs on the user's behalf
  • Trigger pipelines or start builds against release/* branches
  • Run any command that writes to a release ref (no git push, no git merge, no gh pr merge)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
