release-checklist

release-checklist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from silver2dream/ai-workflow-kit. It costs 54 tokens per session (545 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-release checklist for deciding whether a codebase is ready to merge into the main branch or receive a release tag.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a release merge, release tag, or release pull request to produce a go/no-go result without automatically fixing problems.
Why use it?
It checks tests, repository state, version information, dependencies, continuous integration, and branch status before release.

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-checklist 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 4d 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 Checklist Skill

Pre-release verification workflow that systematically validates all quality gates before a release merge to main.

Overview

This skill runs a comprehensive checklist of verifications to determine whether the current state of the codebase is ready for release. It produces a clear go/no-go decision with supporting evidence for each check.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Preparing to merge an integration branch into main
  • Before creating a release tag
  • User invokes /release-checklist
  • User asks "are we ready to release?"
  • Before creating a release PR (feat/<branch> -> main)

Workflow

Phase 1: Verify Release

Read phases/verify-release.md

Run the full pre-release verification:

  1. Verify all tests pass
  2. Check for uncommitted changes
  3. Verify changelog/version
  4. Check dependency vulnerabilities
  5. Validate CI status
  6. Verify branch state (up to date with main)
  7. Output go/no-go decision

Critical Rules

  1. ALL checks must pass for a GO decision -- no exceptions
  2. Do not auto-fix issues -- report them and let the user decide
  3. Be explicit about what failed -- include exact error output
  4. Check the correct branch -- verify you are on the integration branch, not main
  5. Never push or merge -- this skill is verification only

Integration with AWK Workflow

This skill is typically the last step before a release PR:

awkit kickoff → issues processed → PRs merged to integration branch
        ↓
/release-checklist → GO decision
        ↓
Create PR: integration branch → main (Release: true)

Per .ai/rules/_kit/git-workflow.md:

  • Release PRs target main
  • Only create release PRs when the ticket says Release: true

Self-Check

On each phase entry, output:

[RELEASE-CHECKLIST] <timestamp> | <phase> | loaded: <filename>

Changes

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.
