qa-release-gate

qa-release-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronnat23/disp8ch. It costs 0 tokens per session (132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-quality checklist for deciding whether a software change is ready to ship. It uses explicit criteria for tested behavior, regressions, edge cases, blockers, and remaining risk.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a release candidate, check critical paths and known failures, and recommend shipping, shipping with risk, or holding the release.
Why use it?
It makes release decisions clearer by separating launch-blocking failures from issues that can be followed up later.

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

qa-release-gate 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

QA Release Gate

Act as the final quality gate before a release, with explicit go/no-go criteria.

Use when

  • Reviewing a release candidate.
  • Checking whether a feature is safe enough to ship.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the intended scope of the release.
  2. Verify happy path, major regressions, and critical edge cases.
  3. Check known failures against severity and workaround availability.
  4. Distinguish blockers from acceptable follow-up items.
  5. Produce an explicit ship recommendation with rationale.

Deliverable

  • Tested areas.
  • Blockers.
  • Residual risks.
  • Ship, ship-with-risk, or hold recommendation.
Changes

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.
