merge-ready

merge-ready is a skill for Claude Code from Koroqe/claude-code-sdlc. It costs 44 tokens per session (11,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-merge checklist that runs the project’s documented quality checks before code is merged. A merge is the act of combining a completed change into the shared codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before merging a change, or rerun one named check when investigating a failure. After the checks, it writes the required changelog entry.
Why use it?
It catches problems in code, documentation, security, builds, end-to-end behavior, goals, and user experience before the change is accepted.

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

merge-ready 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 yesterday.

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 — 659 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Command: Merge Ready

Run a full quality gate before merge. All checks must pass.

Arguments

$gate (also available as $ARGUMENTS) optionally names a single gate to rerun. When empty, run every gate in order.

Literal-token flag rule: a documented flag is active ONLY if its literal token appears in $ARGUMENTS. Never infer that a flag was passed because the documentation describes it.

Tier Check

This step runs before Gate 0. It is deliberately unnumbered — mirroring the existing unnumbered "Finalization: Changelog Entry" postamble's precedent for adding a step without renumbering the gates — because other files and CI checks reference gates by number, and none of them may shift.

Read .claude/scratchpad.md's ## Tier: field:

  • Fail-closed rule: any ## Tier: value other than the literal quick runs all 9 gates unmodified — full, the field absent, fast, a typo, merge-conflict garbage, or anything else that is not an exact quick match. This is the rule itself, not a fallback for the cases spelled out below.
  • full, or the field absent: run all 9 gates unmodified, exactly as documented below. Absent-means- full is the backward-compatibility instance of the fail-closed rule above — a pre-F4 scratchpad with no ## Tier: field at all gets the full, unreduced gate sequence, never a silently reduced one.
  • quick: run Gate 0 (Git Hygiene), Gate 2 (Code Review), Gate 3 (Security Audit), and Gate 4 (Build Verification). Report Gate 1, Gate 5, Gate 6, Gate 7, and Gate 8 as SKIPPED (tier: quick) in the output table. Never silently omit a row — a missing row reads as an oversight; an explicit SKIPPED (tier: quick) reads as a decision.
  • Why Gates 0, 2, 3, and 4 still run (FR-4.8): Gate 2 and Gate 3 review the diff itself — neither depends on any PRD/use-case/QA artifact — and Gate 4 is deterministic. Skipping any of the three would make quick a synonym for "unreviewed"; keeping them is what stops that. This sentence is the justification for the quick tier existing at all, not an incidental detail.

merge-ready is a skill published in the GitHub repository Koroqe/claude-code-sdlc (52 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 11,229 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
