release-gate

Release Gate — FFBB MCP Server

Use this skill for any request involving push, tag, release, publish, version, CI, GitHub Actions, or remote synchronization.

This workflow adapts the relevant patterns from sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills:

• lint-and-validate: validate after changes.
• verification-before-completion: evidence before success claims.
• git-pushing: commit and push only when explicitly requested.
• iterate-pr: follow GitHub checks until green.
• codebase-audit-pre-push: inspect diffs and side effects before pushing.

Non-negotiable rules

• Use rtk for all terminal commands.
• Work from the repository root.
• Do not claim completion without fresh command output.
• Do not push, tag, release, or publish if any local gate fails.
• Keep changes surgical; do not refactor unrelated code.
• Inspect and revert unintended runtime/test mutations, especially src/ffbb_mcp/acronyms_cache.json.

Required local gate before push/tag/release

Run the full gate, in this order:

1. Version alignment:
   • rtk uv run python tools/check_version_alignment.py
2. Formatting:
   • rtk uv run ruff format --check .
3. Linting:
   • rtk uv run ruff check .
4. Types:
   • rtk uv run mypy src
5. Tests:
   • rtk uv run pytest
6. Repository inspection:
   • rtk git status --short --branch
   • rtk git diff --stat
   • targeted rtk git diff -- ./path for changed files.

If version files changed, run rtk uv run python tools/sync_version.py, inspect the diff, then rerun the required local gate.

Push workflow

Only when the user explicitly asks to push or publish changes:

1. Run the required local gate.
2. Inspect staged and unstaged changes.
3. Revert unrelated changes and generated side effects not intentionally part of the task.
4. Commit with a conventional commit message.
5. Push the branch.
6. Inspect GitHub Actions after pushing:
   • rtk gh run list --limit 5
   • For failures, inspect only failed logs with rtk gh run view <run-id> --log-failed.
7. If CI fails, fix the root cause locally, rerun the relevant gate plus any affected tests, commit, push, and re-check CI.
