prd-v08-release-planning

prd-v08-release-planning is a skill for Claude Code from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,951 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for planning how a software release moves through development, testing, preview, and production environments. It defines release checks, conditions for rolling back, and validation after deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan release criteria, deployment environments, rollback strategies, go-live checklists, and post-deployment checks.
Why use it?
It turns completed work and passing staging tests into clear rules for deciding whether a release is ready and what to do if deployment causes problems.

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

prd-v08-release-planning 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 330 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Planning

Position in workflow: v0.7 Implementation Loop → v0.8 Release Planning → v0.8 Runbook Creation

Execution Mode

Default is standard. See .claude/rules/08-skill-execution-modes.md for selection logic.

Mode What this skill produces
quick Staging→prod only; 3–5 release criteria; one rollback trigger
standard Dev/staging/preview/prod environments; full criteria checklist; multiple rollback triggers; post-deploy validation
deep Full environments + IaC review + canary/blue-green strategy + risk-weighted criteria + post-mortem hooks

Consumes

This skill requires prior work from v0.7 Implementation Loop and v0.6-v0.9:

  • EPIC-* completed entries (from v0.7 Implementation Loop) — Finished work packages define what's being released; must have State=Complete, all TEST- passing
  • TEST-* test entries (from v0.7 Test Planning) — All TEST- must pass in staging before release criteria can be met
  • API-* endpoint contracts (referenced in EPIC Context & IDs) — Define SLA and performance baselines for release criteria
  • ENV-* environment specifications (from v0.6 Environment Setup) — Local/CI/CD/production configurations inform DEP- entries for each environment
  • ARC-* architecture decisions (from v0.6 Architecture Design) — System structure (monolith, microservices, deployment topology) drives environment setup
  • TECH-* technology stack (from v0.5 Technical Stack Selection) — Technology choices inform infrastructure requirements and deployment tooling
  • RISK-* high-priority entries (from v0.5 Risk Discovery) — High RISK- must be mitigated or explicitly accepted before release
  • KPI-* metrics (from v0.3 and v0.9) — Target KPI values inform monitoring baselines and rollback thresholds

This skill assumes v0.7 Implementation is complete with all EPIC- entries marked Complete and all TEST- passing.

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.
