pre-release-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chaunsin/agent-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (2,201 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only checklist and report for checking whether web or backend services are ready for a production release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a release, production deployment, tag, or CI/CD run to review ordering, settings, data changes, and unresolved risks.
Why use it?
It helps find missing deployment materials, configuration gaps, migration concerns, and other risks before software goes live.

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

pre-release-review 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 10d 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.

Pre-release Review

Use this skill to run a read-only production release readiness review. The goal is to reduce release time and coordination failures by finding missing deploy materials, unsafe ordering, configuration gaps, data migration gaps, and ambiguous production risks before CI/CD or manual release steps begin.

Non-negotiable rules

  • Do not modify source code, configs, migrations, secrets, deployment files, or generated files.
  • Do not execute migrations, clear or warm caches, upload assets, trigger CI/CD, deploy services, publish tags, rotate secrets, or change remote infrastructure.
  • Produce a concise report that lists only confirmed problems and plausible risks needing confirmation. Do not bury the reader in clean checklist items.
  • Sort findings from highest to lowest priority.
  • Include module, finding, evidence, inferred owner, risk, and recommended action for each item.
  • Never reveal private keys, account passwords, tokens, certificates, cookies, or full secret values. Report only file path, line number, variable name, secret type, and a redacted hint.
  • If evidence is incomplete but the risk could block production, list it as a confirmation item.

Required references

  • Read references/checklist.md before analyzing findings so important release domains are not skipped.
  • Read references/report-template.md before writing the final report so priorities, owner inference, secret redaction, and output shape stay consistent.

Project guidance discovery

Before interpreting the release diff, look for project-local guidance files such as AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md in the repository root and relevant service directories. Read them when present so the review respects the user's project-specific conventions, service boundaries, release rules, validation expectations, ownership hints, and known operational constraints.

  • Treat project guidance as context for how to interpret risks, not as permission to perform mutating release actions.
  • If project guidance conflicts with this skill's non-negotiable safety rules, the read-only, no-secret-disclosure rules in this skill win.
  • If a relevant guidance file cannot be read, note the limitation in "Unable To Verify" only when it affects the release review.

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.
