Release review

When to use

Use this Skill when a release candidate needs a go/no-go verdict supported by checked, reproducible evidence.

Required resources

• Read the release checklist to inspect the artifact.
• Apply the release readiness policy to classify findings.
• Deliver the result with the release readiness report template.

Workflow

1. Gather evidence for each checklist item. Cite the command, artifact path, observed result, and reproduction steps for every finding.
2. Classify each finding using the policy severity. A blocker prevents a ready verdict; unresolved non-blockers must still be disclosed.
3. Decide the verdict only after all required evidence is recorded. Use ready only when there are no blockers.
4. Complete every section of the report template: verdict, evidence, findings, blockers, and required follow-up.

Final report requirements

The final report must state ready, not ready, or needs evidence; list all evidence reviewed; give each finding a severity and reproduction; and make the blocker count explicit. Do not issue ready when evidence is missing or a blocker remains.
