pre-publish-review

name

pre-publish-review

description

Nuclear-grade 16-agent pre-publish release gate. Runs /get-unpublished-changes to detect all changes since last npm release, spawns up to 10 ultrabrain agents for deep per-change analysis, invokes /review-work (5 agents) for holistic review, and 1 oracle for overall release synthesis. Runs ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a pre-publish review — a plain publish/release request MUST NOT trigger this; /publish ships directly. Triggers: 'pre-publish review', 'review before publish', 'release review', 'pre-release review', 'ready to publish?', 'can I publish?', 'pre-publish', 'safe to publish', 'publishing review', 'pre-publish check'.

Pre-Publish Review — 16-Agent Release Gate

Three-agent-layer review before publishing to npm. Every layer covers a different angle, and every result is mapped onto the release layers below.

Layer	Agents	Type	What They Check
Per-Change Deep Dive	up to 10	ultrabrain	Each logical change group individually — correctness, edge cases, pattern adherence
Holistic Review	5	review-work	Goal compliance, QA execution, code quality, security, context mining across full changeset
Release Synthesis	1	oracle	Overall release readiness, version bump, breaking changes, deployment risk

Release Layer Taxonomy

Every phase classifies evidence and risk across:

Release Layer	Scope	Required version decision
omo pure components	Core packages, MCP packages, shared skills, reusable scripts, platform binary inputs	Patch/minor/major impact for shared logic consumed by adapters.
omo opencode	Root oh-my-opencode / oh-my-openagent, src/, OpenCode plugin hooks/tools/CLI/config/docs, .opencode/, .agents/	Semver bump for the OpenCode/OpenAgent npm release.
omo codex	packages/omo-codex, lazycodex-ai, Codex plugin metadata/hooks, bundled MCP runtimes, code-yeongyu/lazycodex marketplace payload	Codex adapter bump, LazyCodex npm publish risk, and marketplace/GitHub release need.

Phase 0: Detect Unpublished Changes

Run /get-unpublished-changes FIRST. This is the single source of truth for what changed and must include omo pure components, omo opencode, and omo codex layer-specific version recommendations.

skill(name="get-unpublished-changes")

This command automatically:

• Detects published npm version vs local version
• Lists all commits since last release
• Reads actual diffs (not just commit messages) to describe REAL changes
• Groups changes by type (feat/fix/refactor/docs) with scope
• Identifies breaking changes
• Recommends a layer-specific version bump plus one overall workflow bump

Save the full output — it feeds directly into Phase 1 grouping and all agent prompts.

Then capture raw data needed by agent prompts:

# Extract versions (already in /get-unpublished-changes output)
PUBLISHED=$(npm view oh-my-opencode version 2>/dev/null || echo "not published")
LOCAL=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version" 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")

# Raw data for agents (diffs, file lists)
COMMITS=$(git log "v${PUBLISHED}"..HEAD --oneline 2>/dev/null || echo "no commits")
COMMIT_COUNT=$(echo "$COMMITS" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
DIFF_STAT=$(git diff "v${PUBLISHED}"..HEAD --stat 2>/dev/null || echo "no diff")
CHANGED_FILES=$(git diff --name-only "v${PUBLISHED}"..HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "none")
FILE_COUNT=$(echo "$CHANGED_FILES" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')

If PUBLISHED is "not published", this is a first release — use the full git history instead.

Phase 1: Parse Changes into Groups

Use the /get-unpublished-changes output as the starting point — it already groups by scope and type.

Grouping strategy:

1. Start from the /get-unpublished-changes analysis which already categorizes by feat/fix/refactor/docs with scope
2. Further split by module/area — changes touching the same module or feature area belong together
3. Target up to 10 groups. If fewer than 10 commits, each commit is its own group. If more than 10 logical areas, merge the smallest groups.
4. For each group, extract:
   • Group name: Short descriptive label (e.g., "agent-model-resolution", "hook-system-refactor")
   • Release layer(s): omo pure components, omo opencode, omo codex
   • Commits: List of commit hashes and messages
   • Files: Changed files in this group
   • Diff: The relevant portion of the full diff (git diff v${PUBLISHED}..HEAD -- {group files})

---

Phase 2: Spawn All Agents

Launch ALL agents in a single turn. Every agent uses run_in_background=true. No sequential launches.

Layer 1: Ultrabrain Per-Change Analysis (up to 10)

For each change group, spawn one ultrabrain agent. Each gets only its portion of the diff — not the full changeset.

task(
  category="ultrabrain",
  model="gpt-5.6-sol",
  run_in_background=true,
  load_skills=[],
  description="Deep analysis: {GROUP_NAME}",
  prompt="""
<review_type>PER-CHANGE DEEP ANALYSIS</review_type>
<change_group>{GROUP_NAME}</change_group>

<project>oh-my-opencode (npm package)</project>
<published_version>{PUBLISHED}</published_version>
<target_version>{LOCAL}</target_version>

<commits>
{GROUP_COMMITS — hash and message for each commit in this group}
</commits>

<changed_files>
{GROUP_FILES — files changed in this group}
</changed_files>

<diff>
{GROUP_DIFF — only the diff for this group's files}
</diff>

<file_contents>
{Read and include full content of each changed file in this group}
</file_contents>

You are reviewing a specific subset of changes heading into an npm release. Focus exclusively on THIS change group. Other groups are reviewed by parallel agents.

ANALYSIS CHECKLIST:

1. **Intent Clarity**: What is this change trying to do? Is the intent clear from the code and commit messages? If you have to guess, that's a finding.

2. **Correctness**: Trace through the logic for 3+ scenarios. Does the code actually do what it claims? Off-by-one errors, null handling, async edge cases, resource cleanup.

3. **Breaking Changes**: Does this change alter any public API, config format, CLI behavior, or hook contract? If yes, is it backward compatible? Would existing users be surprised?

4. **Pattern Adherence**: Does the new code follow the established patterns visible in the existing file contents? New patterns where old ones exist = finding.

5. **Edge Cases**: What inputs or conditions would break this? Empty arrays, undefined values, concurrent calls, very large inputs, missing config fields.

6. **Error Handling**: Are errors properly caught and propagated? No empty catch blocks? No swallowed promises?

7. **Type Safety**: Any `as any`, `@ts-ignore`, `@ts-expect-error`? Loose typing where strict is possible?

8. **Test Coverage**: Are the behavioral changes covered by tests? Are the tests meaningful or just coverage padding?

9. **Side Effects**: Could this change break something in a different module? Check imports and exports — who depends on what changed?

10. **Release Risk**: On a scale of SAFE / CAUTION / RISKY — how confident are you this change won't cause issues in production?

OUTPUT FORMAT:
<group_name>{GROUP_NAME}</group_name>
<verdict>PASS or FAIL</verdict>
<risk>SAFE / CAUTION / RISKY</risk>
<summary>2-3 sentence assessment of this change group</summary>
<has_breaking_changes>YES or NO</has_breaking_changes>
<breaking_change_details>If YES, describe what breaks and for whom</breaking_change_details>
<findings>
  For each finding:
  - [CRITICAL/MAJOR/MINOR] Category: Description
  - File: path (line range)
  - Evidence: specific code reference
  - Suggestion: how to fix
</findings>
<blocking_issues>Issues that MUST be fixed before publish. Empty if PASS.</blocking_issues>
""")

Layer 2: Holistic Review via /review-work (5 agents)

Spawn a sub-agent that loads the /review-work skill. The review-work skill internally launches 5 parallel agents: Oracle (goal verification), unspecified-high (QA execution), Oracle (code quality), Oracle (security), unspecified-high (context mining). All 5 must pass for the review to pass.

task(
  category="unspecified-high",
  model="gpt-5.6-sol",
  run_in_background=true,
  load_skills=["review-work"],
  description="Run /review-work on all unpublished changes",
  prompt="""
Run /review-work on the unpublished changes between v{PUBLISHED} and HEAD.

GOAL: Review all changes heading into npm publish of oh-my-opencode. These changes span {COMMIT_COUNT} commits across {FILE_COUNT} files.

CONSTRAINTS:
- This is a plugin published to npm — public API stability matters
- TypeScript strict mode, Bun runtime
- No `as any`, `@ts-ignore`, `@ts-expect-error`
- Factory pattern (createXXX) for tools, hooks, agents
- kebab-case files, barrel exports, no catch-all files

BACKGROUND: Pre-publish review of oh-my-opencode, an OpenCode plugin with 1268 TypeScript files, 160k LOC. Changes since v{PUBLISHED} are about to be published.

The diff base is: git diff v{PUBLISHED}..HEAD

Follow the /review-work skill flow exactly — launch all 5 review agents and collect results. Do NOT skip any of the 5 agents.

Layer 3: Oracle Release Synthesis (1 agent)

The oracle gets the full picture — all commits, full diff stat, and changed file list. It provides the final release readiness assessment.

task(
  subagent_type="oracle",
  model="gpt-5.6-sol",
  run_in_background=true,
  load_skills=[],
  description="Oracle: overall release synthesis and version bump recommendation",
  prompt="""
<review_type>RELEASE SYNTHESIS — OVERALL ASSESSMENT</review_type>

<project>oh-my-opencode (npm package)</project>
<published_version>{PUBLISHED}</published_version>
<local_version>{LOCAL}</local_version>

<all_commits>
{ALL COMMITS since published version — hash, message, author, date}
</all_commits>

<diff_stat>
{DIFF_STAT — files changed, insertions, deletions}
</diff_stat>

<changed_files>
{CHANGED_FILES — full list of modified file paths}
</changed_files>

<full_diff>
{FULL_DIFF — the complete git diff between published version and HEAD}
</full_diff>

<file_contents>
{Read and include full content of KEY changed files — focus on public API surfaces, config schemas, agent definitions, hook registrations, tool registrations}
</file_contents>

You are the final gate before an npm publish. 10 ultrabrain agents are reviewing individual changes and 5 review-work agents are doing holistic review. Your job is the bird's-eye view that those focused reviews might miss.

SYNTHESIS CHECKLIST:

1. **Release Coherence**: Do these changes tell a coherent story? Or is this a grab-bag of unrelated changes that should be split into multiple releases?

2. **Version Bump**: Based on semver:
   - PATCH: Bug fixes only, no behavior changes
   - MINOR: New features, backward-compatible changes
   - MAJOR: Breaking changes to public API, config format, or behavior
   Recommend the correct bump for each release layer and the overall workflow with specific justification.

3. **Breaking Changes Audit**: Exhaustively list every change that could break existing users. Check:
   - Config schema changes (new required fields, removed fields, renamed fields)
   - Agent behavior changes (different prompts, different model routing)
   - Hook contract changes (new parameters, removed hooks, renamed hooks)
   - Tool interface changes (new required params, different return types)
   - CLI changes (new commands, changed flags, different output)
   - Skill format changes (SKILL.md schema changes)

4. **Migration Requirements**: If there are breaking changes, what migration steps do users need? Is there auto-migration in place?

5. **Dependency Changes**: New dependencies added? Dependencies removed? Version bumps? Any supply chain risk?

6. **Changelog Draft**: Write a draft changelog entry grouped by:
   - feat: New features
   - fix: Bug fixes
   - refactor: Internal changes (no user impact)
   - breaking: Breaking changes with migration instructions
   - docs: Documentation changes

7. **Deployment Risk Assessment**:
   - SAFE: Routine changes, well-tested, low risk
   - CAUTION: Significant changes but manageable risk
   - RISKY: Large surface area changes, insufficient testing, or breaking changes without migration
   - BLOCK: Critical issues found, do NOT publish

8. **Post-Publish Monitoring**: What should be monitored after publish? Error rates, specific features, user feedback channels.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
<verdict>SAFE / CAUTION / RISKY / BLOCK</verdict>
<recommended_version_bump>PATCH / MINOR / MAJOR</recommended_version_bump>
<layer_specific_version_bump>omo pure components: PATCH/MINOR/MAJOR; omo opencode: PATCH/MINOR/MAJOR; omo codex: PATCH/MINOR/MAJOR</layer_specific_version_bump>
<version_bump_justification>Why this bump level</version_bump_justification>
<release_coherence>Assessment of whether changes belong in one release</release_coherence>
<breaking_changes>
  Exhaustive list, or "None" if none.
  For each:
  - What changed
  - Who is affected
  - Migration steps
</breaking_changes>

Phase 3: Collect Results

As agents complete (system notifications), collect via background_output(task_id="...").

Track completion in a table:

#	Agent	Type	Status	Verdict
1-10	Ultrabrain: {group_name}	ultrabrain	pending	—
11	Review-Work Coordinator	unspecified-high	pending	—
12	Release Synthesis Oracle	oracle	pending	—

Do NOT deliver the final report until ALL agents have completed.

Phase 4: Final Verdict

<verdict_logic>

BLOCK if:

• Oracle verdict is BLOCK
• Any ultrabrain found CRITICAL blocking issues
• Review-work failed on any MAIN agent

RISKY if:

• Oracle verdict is RISKY
• Multiple ultrabrains returned CAUTION or FAIL
• Review-work passed but with significant findings

CAUTION if:

• Oracle verdict is CAUTION
• A few ultrabrains flagged minor issues
• Review-work passed cleanly

SAFE if:

• Oracle verdict is SAFE
• All ultrabrains passed
• Review-work passed

</verdict_logic>

Compile the final report:
