What it does

Release Check is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Pre-release verification checklist. Validates features, tests, docs, security, and quality gates before shipping. Delegates to the Centinela (QA) agent.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 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 Quality gates. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Quality gates

Example prompts

  • “/release-check”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  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)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Release Check loads about 395 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~395

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.

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
