release-readiness

release-readiness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 05-deepak-patidar/claude-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,050 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-release review that checks whether software is actually ready for real users, using evidence such as test results, command output, files, screenshots, and tested behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a first launch, major release, production handoff, or when deciding whether a project is production-ready.
Why use it?
It separates “finished” from “safe to launch” and exposes missing checks or known risks before release.

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 A, and why

release-readiness scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Release Readiness

"Done" and "ready for real users" are different claims. This skill is the go/no-go gate: a structured sweep that turns "I think it's ready" into a checked list with evidence. Run it before first launch, before major releases, and before handing anything to a paying client.

How to run it

Work through the seven gates below against evidence, not memory — for each item, the answer is a command output, a file path, a screenshot, or a tested behavior, never "yes, I'm pretty sure". Produce a written verdict at the end: ✅ ready / ⚠️ ready-with-known-risks (listed, accepted by the user) / ❌ blocked (by what). Deep-dive any failing gate with its dedicated skill (threat-model-security, deployment-safety, observability-readiness, etc.).

Gate 1 — Correctness of the money-and-data core

  • Golden paths run end-to-end in a production-like environment, by hand, today — not "tests passed last week".
  • Money math spot-checked against a calculator: one real invoice with discounts/tax/rounding, one payment, one return.
  • Concurrent/duplicate actions tried: double-click submit, retry after timeout, two tabs. No dupes, no corruption.
  • Test suite green from clean checkout; the regression tests for every previously found bug still exist and pass.

Gate 2 — Security minimum (threat-model-security)

  • The IDOR test performed live: user A's token requesting user B's objects on every resource type → refused.
  • Auth rate-limiting/lockout demonstrated, not assumed. Sessions revocable.
  • Secrets audit: none in git history/client bundle/logs; prod secrets differ from dev; HTTPS enforced.
  • Error responses leak nothing internal (trigger a 500 deliberately and look).

Gate 3 — Data safety (database-design)

  • Backups: running, automatic, AND restored once successfully into a scratch environment — an untested backup is a hope, not a backup.
  • Destructive operations inventoried: what can permanently delete/overwrite data, and what protects each (confirm, soft-delete, audit row)?
  • The DB enforces its own invariants: spot-check that constraints exist in the live schema (not just in models).

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.
