What it does

Pre Release Validation is an agent skill from aztfmod/terraform-provider-azurecaf. Run comprehensive pre-release checks: full test suite, E2E tests, coverage verification, CHANGELOG validation, and generated code freshness. Triggers on: before creating a release tag, release preparation.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test generation, End-to-end testing and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Terraform provider for the Terraform platform engineering for Azure. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : before creating a release tag
  • Release preparation

Example prompts

  • “/pre-release-validation”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify CHANGELOG
  2. Verify generated code is fresh
  3. Run full test suite
  4. Run E2E tests
  5. Check coverage
  6. Report
  7. Cleanup

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac74615. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make
    • go
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pre Release Validation loads about 367 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~367

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Pre-Release Validation

Procedure

1. Verify CHANGELOG

Check that CHANGELOG.md has entries under ## [Unreleased]:

bash
sed -n '/^## \[Unreleased\]/,/^## \[v/p' CHANGELOG.md | grep -c "^- "

If no entries, FAIL: "No unreleased changes documented in CHANGELOG.md."

2. Verify generated code is fresh
bash
go generate
git diff --name-only azurecaf/models_generated.go

If there are uncommitted changes, FAIL: "Generated code is stale. Run go generate and commit."

3. Run full test suite
bash
make test_ci 2>&1 | tee /tmp/prerelease-tests.txt

All tests must pass.

4. Run E2E tests
bash
make test_e2e 2>&1 | tee /tmp/prerelease-e2e.txt

All E2E tests must pass.

5. Check coverage
bash
make test_coverage 2>&1 | tee /tmp/prerelease-coverage.txt

Coverage must be >= 95%.

6. Report
## Pre-Release Validation Report

| Check | Status |
|-------|--------|
| CHANGELOG has entries | ✅ / ❌ |
| Generated code fresh | ✅ / ❌ |
| Unit tests | ✅ / ❌ |
| E2E tests | ✅ / ❌ |
| Coverage >= 95% | ✅ (<percentage>%) / ❌ (<percentage>%) |

Overall: READY FOR RELEASE / NOT READY
7. Cleanup
bash
rm -f /tmp/prerelease-*.txt
