release-readiness-agent

release-readiness-agent is an agent for coding agents 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.

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 4d 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.
