name	release-testing-workflow
description	Use this skill when you need release-phase QA workflow from T-14 planning to go/no-go and post-release monitoring; triggers include release testing workflow and go/no-go QA.

Release Testing Workflow

中文版： See the corresponding Chinese skill.

When to Use

• Need a release-window cadence: T-N planning → specialties → RC → Go/No-Go → post-release watch.
• Need release gates and a ship evidence pack, with specialty execution handed to type skills.

Workflow

1. Read and follow prompts/release-testing-workflow.md (timeline, gates, Go/No-Go, handoffs).
2. Add release date, scope, freeze rules, candidate build, and known defects that change decisions.
3. After locating the T window, hand off by skill name per reference.md; invoke specialty type skills by name only.
4. If input is incomplete, still draft a gate board and mark assumptions—never invent pass results.

Core Constraints

• Own release timeline and ship decision; hand specialty reports to performance-testing / security-testing / etc.
• Timelines may compress; gate criteria may not be deleted.
• Go/No-Go requires evidence; conditional Go must be verifiable.
• No relative-path links to other skill files.

Progressive Disclosure

• Before producing output, read and follow prompts/release-testing-workflow.md.
• For step ↔ handoff mapping: read reference.md.
• For stage/specialty deep-dives: invoke the matching type skill; do not expand full specialty reports here.
• Templates: output-templates/.

Pre-delivery Checklist

• Followed the main prompt’s output structure
• Includes scope/exclusions, T window, gate board, evidence gaps, next skill
• At decision point: Go / No-Go / conditional with rationale
• Did not invent pass results or unknown defect states
• Assumptions and open questions are marked

Common Pitfalls

• Do not delete gates just to compress the calendar.
• Do not declare RC done before freeze.
• Do not write full specialty long-reports inside this skill.
• Do not replace conditional-Go terms with vague “keep watching”.
