What it does

Workclaw Release Readiness is an agent skill from haojing8312/WorkClaw. Use when changes affect versioning, installer branding, release docs, packaging outputs, or vendor release lanes in WorkClaw before deciding a branch is ready to ship.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 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 Product & Project Management, covering Feature launches and release readiness and Technical writing. It works with pnpm. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Changes affect versioning
  • Installer branding
  • Packaging outputs
  • Vendor release lanes in WorkClaw before deciding a branch is ready to ship

Example prompts

  • “/workclaw-release-readiness”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify which release-sensitive surface changed.
  2. Run the matching release commands.
  3. Start from "safe to ship" and only downgrade when there is concrete evidence.
  4. If blocked, provide an explicit unblock checklist.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81ae074. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Workclaw Release Readiness loads about 559 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~559

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.

WorkClaw Release Readiness

Overview

Use this skill for shipping-sensitive changes. It separates release readiness from ordinary code verification and produces a clear ship recommendation with evidence.

When to Use

  • Version files or release metadata changed
  • Installer branding or installer checks changed
  • Release docs changed
  • Packaging outputs or desktop build expectations changed
  • Vendor lane or upstream sync release paths changed
  • A branch is being assessed for ship readiness after release-sensitive work

Do not use this for ordinary feature work that does not touch release-sensitive surfaces.

Command Routing

  • Run pnpm release:check-version for version and release metadata changes.
  • Run pnpm test:release for release-path validation.
  • Run pnpm test:installer for installer branding or installer flow changes.
  • Run pnpm test:release-docs for release note or release document changes.
  • Run pnpm test:openclaw-vendor-lane for vendor sync or lane changes.
  • Run pnpm build:runtime when packaging output or desktop build behavior changed.

Required Output

  • Release verdict: GREEN, YELLOW, or RED
  • Blocking issues, if any
  • Required release-note or documentation follow-ups
  • Final recommendation on whether the branch is safe to ship

Output Template

Use this shape:

md
## Release Readiness
- Verdict: GREEN | YELLOW | RED
- Changed release surface:
- Commands run:
- Blocking issues:
- Required follow-ups:
- Ship recommendation:

Core Pattern

  1. Identify which release-sensitive surface changed.
  2. Run the matching release commands.
  3. Start from "safe to ship" and only downgrade when there is concrete evidence.
  4. If blocked, provide an explicit unblock checklist.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating release-doc or installer changes as low-risk and skipping dedicated checks.
  • Reporting a release verdict without citing commands or evidence.
  • Mixing ordinary runtime verification with ship-readiness judgment and losing the release signal.
