release-readiness

A release checklist that coordinates checks across code, live operations, security, browser behavior, protocol support, performance, documentation, and deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define release scope, run the relevant focused checks, and produce one consolidated go or no-go result.
Why use it?
It collects the evidence needed to decide whether a branch can merge, ship, run as a canary, or be released.

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 2d 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

Overview

Use this skill when the user asks whether a branch can merge, ship, canary, or release. It is a coordinator, not a replacement for the focused skills. Load the matching skill for each surface you exercise and report one consolidated go/no-go result.

This workflow is intentionally repo-native. External agent workflows can inspire the order of review passes, but MCP Runtime release evidence must come from the repo's own commands, skills, CI, cluster state, docs, and security model.

Step 1 - Define Release Scope

Inspect the current state before choosing checks:

git status --short
git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD

If the working tree has unrelated user changes, do not include them in a release commit or claim they were validated. If the user wants a tag or deploy, confirm the target version, branch, and environment before any destructive or external action.

Classify the request:

  • merge-readiness: branch can be reviewed and merged.
  • release-readiness: version/tag candidate can be cut.
  • canary-readiness: candidate can be promoted to a limited environment.
  • post-release-check: verify a just-shipped build and document evidence.

Step 2 - Route By Change Surface

Choose every applicable focused skill:

Surface Required skill
Operator, setup, registry, ingress, CLI, CRDs, service rollout qa-e2e-operations
Auth, grants, sessions, gateway policy, audit, TLS, secrets security-audit and often qa-e2e-security
Platform-wide release security signoff security-audit-platform
Kubernetes RBAC, PSS, NetworkPolicy, manifests k8s-hardening-audit
Images, SBOMs, GitHub Actions, dependency or base-image changes supply-chain-audit
Sentinel dashboard, UI-visible API behavior, login/admin/tenant flows qa-e2e-ui
MCP protocol behavior or upstream spec compatibility mcp-spec-compliance
Gateway/API/operator hot paths or "feels slower" risk qa-e2e-perf
Public k3s, TLS, ACME, production hostnames k3s-public-ops or mcp-runtime-platform-public
Docs, CLI examples, contributor guidance, release notes repo-guidance-sync

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

release-readiness is a skill published in the GitHub repository Agent-Hellboy/mcp-runtime (5 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,257 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
