release-check is a skill for Claude Code from davepoon/buildwithclaude. It costs 36 tokens per session (363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-release checklist that reviews a software change before it is shipped to users. It checks documentation, tests, code quality, security, and release readiness, then records the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before releasing to production or tagging a version to review the changelog, technical debt, tests, security, and final release decision.
Why use it?

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-check 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 7d 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

Release Check

Runs pre-release verification using the Centinela (QA) agent. This is the highest-stakes checklist in the system.

When to Use This Skill

  • Before any release to production
  • Before tagging a version
  • As a final quality gate after all features are implemented and reviewed

What This Skill Does

  1. Runs the SIGN IN checklist
  2. TIME OUT 1 — Documentation and Debt Check: verifies CHANGELOG, TECH_DEBT, specs, and docs
  3. TIME OUT 2 — Testing and Quality Gate: runs all tests, code health scan, quality verification
  4. TIME OUT 3 — Security and Release Gate: runs security audit, security verification, release readiness
  5. Writes release assessment to docs/reviews/release-check-{version}.md
  6. Issues final verdict: READY FOR RELEASE or BLOCKED (with specific reasons)

How to Use

Basic Usage

/release-check v1.2.0

Example

User: /release-check v2.0.0

Output: A release assessment at docs/reviews/release-check-v2.0.0.md with:

  • Documentation completeness check
  • Test results and quality gate status
  • Security audit summary
  • Final verdict with specific blocking reasons if any

Tips

  • This is the last line of defense before code reaches users
  • A blocked release here prevents issues from reaching production
  • Three TIME OUT checkpoints cover docs, quality, and security independently
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.
