production-release-gating

production-release-gating is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stealth-factory/skills. It costs 191 tokens per session (4,042 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment setup that lets preview builds run from feature branches while sending production releases only after a real versioned release. A feature branch is a separate line of code used for a change before it is merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for configuring release-triggered deployment, a separate production branch, or a script that skips non-release production builds.
Why use it?
It prevents every push or merge to the main branch from going live automatically when only a published release should reach users.

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

production-release-gating scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (templates/vercel-ignore.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Gating production deploys to real releases

By default, a push/merge to main deploys to production. With semantic-release you usually want the opposite: previews on feature branches, but production only on an actual release (a versioned chore(release): commit / a published GitHub Release).

There are three ways to enforce that. They have names, not letters, so you can pick one by name and record it (see "pick the flow" below):

Release-Triggered Deploy Promotion Branch Build-Skip Gate
One-liner CI runs the deploy when a Release publishes a release fast-forwards a production branch the platform watches a script cancels non-release builds on the platform
Who deploys a workflow you control (GKE, self-hosted, dispatchable, or a platform CLI) the platform's native git integration, but only off production the platform auto-builds every push; the script vetoes
The gate a published Release triggers the deploy; plain pushes deploy nothing production only advances on a published Release; main = staging the script skips the build unless it's a release commit
Portability any dispatchable target (must disable native push-deploy — see below) any host with a configurable production branch (Vercel, Netlify, CF Pages) — most portable Vercel/Netlify only (platform-specific script)
Template release-production.yml promote-to-production.yml vercel-ignore.sh

Decision rule:

  • Want to keep the platform's native git deploys with zero platform-specific scripting? → Promotion Branch (set the production branch, promote on release). Most portable; the recommended default for Vercel/Netlify/CF Pages.
  • You own the deploy (GKE/self-hosted/any dispatchable target, or you want CI to drive a platform CLI)? → Release-Triggered Deploy.
  • Locked into a platform's push-deploy and can't add a branch/promotion? → Build-Skip Gate (the ignore script) as the fallback.

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.
