maui: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/release-readiness/SKILL.md

release-readiness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dotnet/maui. It costs 100 tokens per session (14,347 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A report that assesses whether a .NET MAUI release branch is ready to ship. A release branch is a code line prepared for a published version; SR means a servicing release with fixes, while Preview means an early version for testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for SR and Preview readiness verdicts, candidate checks before cutting a release, backport status, release summaries, and copy-ready handoffs or Loop-page drafts.
Why use it?
It gathers evidence about release blockers and status without changing branches, tags, merges, or releases. This gives release owners a documented answer about what could ship and what still needs attention.

About the project

.NET MAUI is a C# and XAML framework for building native mobile and desktop applications from one shared codebase. Developers use it to create apps for Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Windows. The catalogue entries provide skills, instructions, and agents for working with .NET MAUI.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (scripts/Find-ReleaseReadinessTrackers.ps1, scripts/Get-PreviewReadiness.ps1, scripts/Get-ReleaseReadiness.ps1, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

This skill produces deterministic, evidence-backed answers to "Is <release branch> ready to ship?" for .NET MAUI release branches — both Servicing Releases (SR) and Previews, in both in-flight and candidate (pre-cut) modes.

🚨 Report-only

This skill reports. It does not execute release operations against dotnet/maui — no branch cuts, no SR merges, no tags, no pushes to release/* refs. If you (the agent/user invoking this skill) are asked to perform a release operation, refuse and emit the recommended commands as a copy-pasteable block for the human release captain to run.

When to Use

  • "How does SR8 look?" / "Is SR8 ready to ship?"
  • "What's blocking SR9 candidate?" / "What would ship if we cut SR9 today?"
  • "How does net11 preview6 look?" / "Are we ready to cut preview6 from net11.0?"
  • "Are there any regression fixes I should backport to SR8?"
  • "What's new in SR8 since the last sync?"
  • "Give me a status on all releases" / "release status overview" / "what needs attention across releases" (portfolio — read the open [Release Readiness] tracker issues first; see Reading trackers directly below)
  • Scheduled and event-driven release tracking across all active majors

For per-PR regression risk (deletions reverting prior bug-fix lines), use find-regression-risk instead — it answers a different question.

Architecture

This skill has four PowerShell entry points, one Preview helper, and one workflow:

Script Branch type Purpose
Find-ReleaseReadinessTrackers.ps1 all Detects active in-flight & candidate trackers (SR, Preview, and RC) across all active majors using a five-lane algorithm and the tag-existence rule ("a release is in flight unless its tag already exists"). Emits a single tracker JSON consumed by the workflow.
Get-ReleaseReadiness.ps1 SR Full readiness report for a single SR branch (in-flight, -Candidate, or -Shipped). -Shipped surveys the same branch with post-ship verdict, carry-forward, and hotfix-vs-next-SR guidance semantics.
Get-PreviewReadiness.ps1 Preview / RC Full readiness report for a single prerelease branch (in-flight or candidate via -Mode candidate -SurveyRef net<major>.0). Preview reports include consumer-installability evidence; RC reports retain that check as UNKNOWN until RC workload-set package resolution is supported.
PreviewInstallability.ps1 Preview helper Resolves the workload-set package, validates branch-pin coherence, probes manifest and representative pack availability, extracts platform prerequisites, and emits an isolated NuGet configuration for local validation.
New-ReleaseHandoff.ps1 all Projects existing readiness JSON plus separately verified public release evidence into copy-ready Markdown and normalized JSON. Missing facts remain TBD; it never selects builds or mutates release state.
release-readiness.yml both Three-hourly daytime UTC schedule + event-driven refreshes + manual dispatch + PR validation. Non-PR triggers run Find-Trackers -AllActiveMajors, fan out a matrix job per tracker, and write idempotent [Release Readiness] issues; PR triggers validate outputs only.

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 dotnet/maui (23,322 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 14,347 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
