release-readiness-workflow

A guide for checking whether an Android app is ready to build for release without publishing it. It covers versions, signing, packaging, policy requirements, and release automation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check version codes, signing and keystores, release builds, code shrinking, mapping files, APKs, app bundles, permissions, privacy information, changelogs, and CI or publishing handoffs.
Why use it?
It catches missing or unsafe release details before someone uploads an app. It also clarifies which files, artifacts, credentials, and systems own each release step.

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-workflow 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.

Android Release Readiness Workflow

Purpose

Check whether an Android app or library is ready for release without starting a publish workflow by default.

The practical decision is which version, signing, packaging, policy, changelog, and automation surfaces must be verified before a human or repo-owned release system publishes artifacts.

Source Check

Use repo-local Gradle files, release docs, CI workflows, Fastlane files, checked-out automation sources, and Dash.app docsets opportunistically for exact Gradle or Java questions. Use official documentation as authority for Android-specific release, signing, privacy, permissions, and Play behavior:

Translate documentation into concrete release files, commands, artifacts, and gates.

Inspection Workflow

  1. Identify release ownership:
    • app module
    • release build type
    • product flavors
    • version code and version name
    • changelog or release notes
    • CI release workflow
    • Fastlane, Gradle Play Publisher, Play Developer Publishing API client, or custom scripts
  2. Inspect signing boundaries:
    • signing config names
    • keystore references
    • environment variable names
    • secret-handling docs
    • local placeholder configs
  3. Inspect packaging:
    • app bundle tasks
    • APK tasks
    • R8/ProGuard files
    • mapping output expectations
    • native debug symbols if present
  4. Inspect policy-sensitive surfaces:
    • permissions
    • exported components
    • privacy disclosures
    • target SDK requirements
    • Play delivery tracks and rollout docs
  5. Route automation:
    • identify the repo-owned release command or CI job
    • explain required credentials or approvals
    • stop before publish unless the user explicitly requested the publish action

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-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,047 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.
