Release Check

Runs pre-release verification using the Centinela (QA) agent. This is the highest-stakes checklist in the system.

When to Use This Skill

• Before any release to production
• Before tagging a version
• As a final quality gate after all features are implemented and reviewed

What This Skill Does

1. Runs the SIGN IN checklist
2. TIME OUT 1 — Documentation and Debt Check: verifies CHANGELOG, TECH_DEBT, specs, and docs
3. TIME OUT 2 — Testing and Quality Gate: runs all tests, code health scan, quality verification
4. TIME OUT 3 — Security and Release Gate: runs security audit, security verification, release readiness
5. Writes release assessment to docs/reviews/release-check-{version}.md
6. Issues final verdict: READY FOR RELEASE or BLOCKED (with specific reasons)

How to Use

Basic Usage

/release-check v1.2.0

Example

User: /release-check v2.0.0

Output: A release assessment at docs/reviews/release-check-v2.0.0.md with:

• Documentation completeness check
• Test results and quality gate status
• Security audit summary
• Final verdict with specific blocking reasons if any

Tips

• This is the last line of defense before code reaches users
• A blocked release here prevents issues from reaching production
• Three TIME OUT checkpoints cover docs, quality, and security independently
