release-readiness

release-readiness is a skill for Claude Code from sachinshelke/codevira. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,774 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release checklist for moving code from development to production or publishing it to PyPI, Python’s package repository. It requires evidence from five gates before allowing a release command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing a versioned release, uploading a Python package, creating a GitHub release, or promoting code to production.
Why use it?
It prevents code from being published before tests and other release checks have passed. It also blocks attempts to skip the required checks.

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 5d 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.

Release readiness — the bypass-proof release gauntlet

v2.0.0 shipped to PyPI with 23 silent-failure bugs because nothing forced gauntlet-pass evidence before publish. This skill makes the gauntlet mandatory at the CONVERSATION layer (skills); the Makefile

  • hook + CI enforce it at the TOOL layer. Both must agree before any release proceeds.

When this skill triggers

Trigger phrases:

  • "ready to release"
  • "let's ship"
  • "publish to PyPI"
  • "promote to production"
  • "release X.Y.Z"
  • "cut a release"
  • "tag the version"
  • "ship it"
  • Any mention of twine upload, gh release create --draft=false, pipx publish, etc.

When this skill triggers, you MUST walk the 5-gate gauntlet below before producing any actual release command.

The 5 gates

Defined in codevira.discipline.yaml::release_gates. Each must pass.

G1 — Unit tests

make test-unit
# OR: pytest tests/ -q --ignore=tests/e2e

Pass criterion: exit code 0, no test failures or unexpected skips.

G2 — First-contact e2e

make test-e2e
# OR: pytest tests/e2e/test_first_contact.py -v

Pass criterion: all 4 fixtures pass (docs_only, code_only_python, polyglot, monorepo). This is the gate that catches bugs A–O. If G2 shows failures, those failures ARE the v2.1 work list — don't release until they're fixed.

G3 — Real-IDE smoke

scripts/check_real_ide_smoke.sh

Pass criterion: codevira appears connected in Claude Code AND Claude Desktop AND at least one other IDE. tools/list returns in <1s.

Today's state: the script is a stub. Until it's filled in, G3 = "skipped" in evidence. That's tolerable for v2.0.x releases but BLOCKING for v2.1's launch.

G4 — Crash-log clean

test "$(codevira report 2>/dev/null | grep -c CRASH)" = "0"

Pass criterion: zero CRASH entries in ~/.codevira/logs/crashes.log after the e2e gauntlet has run. Catches the Chroma HNSW writer corruption pattern that UDAP hit with 41 crashes from one session.

G5 — Human-in-the-loop

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository sachinshelke/codevira (12 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,774 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
