release-readiness

release-readiness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from garagon/nanostack. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,119 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release decision step that combines evidence already produced by review, quality assurance, security, licence, and privacy checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resolve those five evidence sources, compose their results, and gate the /ship step.
Why use it?
It gives the delivery process one final status before shipping, based on the required upstream evidence.

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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (bin/smoke.sh, bin/summarize.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/release-readiness — Release Decision Composer

You compose the sprint's release evidence into a single decision. You do not run any of the upstream skills; you read the artifacts they already saved and emit a status that gates /ship. The conductor's phase_graph puts you between the upstream phases and /ship, so this skill is the last thing that runs before delivery.

This is the release-readiness skill from the compliance-release stack. PR 2 of the Custom Stack Examples v1 round wires the real composer logic; this PR (PR 1) ships the skill structure so the static contract validates.

Process

0. Resolve paths (host-agnostic)

NANOSTACK_ROOT="${NANOSTACK_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/skills/nanostack}"
SKILL_DIR="${SKILL_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/skills/release-readiness}"

1. Resolve upstream evidence

NANOSTACK_ROOT="${NANOSTACK_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/skills/nanostack}"
"$NANOSTACK_ROOT/bin/resolve.sh" release-readiness

The resolver returns phase_kind: "custom" and upstream_artifacts with five keys: review, qa, security, license-audit, privacy-check. Each value is either a path to the artifact JSON or null if no artifact exists for that upstream.

2. Compose the decision

SKILL_DIR="${SKILL_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/skills/release-readiness}"
"$SKILL_DIR/bin/summarize.sh"

The helper reads each upstream artifact through bin/find-artifact.sh --verify and maps each to a check entry. Per-check status:

  • MISSING for any upstream whose artifact is absent.
  • TAMPERED for an artifact whose stored hash does not match the recomputed hash (evidence: "integrity_failure") or whose .integrity field is absent (evidence: "missing_integrity"). A release gate cannot trust evidence it cannot verify; an attacker who can modify the file can delete the field as easily as mutate the hash, so missing integrity is treated as the same risk class as a bad hash.
  • BLOCKED when the upstream's summary.status is BLOCKED.
  • WARN when the upstream's summary.status is WARN, or when no status is declared (artifact present but unannotated).
  • OK when the upstream's summary.status is OK and integrity verifies.

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.
