The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 46 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Verify artifact identity, provenance, tests, security scans, and environment gates.

    line 24
  2. Distinctive:

    Do not publish tags, releases, or deployments without explicit authorization.

    line 32
  3. Distinctive:

    Never promote an artifact that has not passed required checks.

    line 33

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 46 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Prepare Release

Coordinate release.md, Git history, CI results, artifacts, and deployment risk.

Parameters

  • owner, repository, pullRequest: optional release source.
  • version: required or inferred from project convention.
  • environment: target promotion environment; default staging.
  • mode: notes, readiness, candidate, promote, or rollback-plan; default readiness.
  • requireChecks: default true.
  • format: summary, json, or Markdown release notes; default summary.

Workflow

  1. Inspect commits, merged changes, version configuration, migrations, and CI status.
  2. Generate notes covering behavior changes, risks, migrations, dependencies, and rollback.
  3. Verify artifact identity, provenance, tests, security scans, and environment gates.
  4. Identify backward-compatibility and data-migration sequencing risks.
  5. For candidate or promotion modes, require explicit confirmation and verify the exact artifact being promoted.
  6. Record deployment evidence and post-release verification requirements.

Safety

  • Do not publish tags, releases, or deployments without explicit authorization.
  • Never promote an artifact that has not passed required checks.
  • Redact secrets and sensitive plan or test output.

Output

Return version, source revision, artifact identity, readiness checks, release notes, migration requirements, rollback plan, blockers, and next steps.
