What it does

QA Release is an agent skill from jitpass/jit. Run jit's pre-release QA — a team of QA-engineer subagents (functionality, integrations, UX, bug-hunting, code review) that exercise a release candidate on this real Mac and hand back a consolidated release-readiness report. Invoke when the user says "test/QA release N", "check the build before we ship", "run the release QA", or "/qa-release". Attended (Touch ID). Not CI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 QA and bug reports, Feature launches and release readiness and Secrets management. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Find the plaintext secrets on your Mac and move them behind Touch ID, injected just in time without breaking the tools that read them. Free and local-first.

When your agent uses it

  • Says test/QA release N
  • Check the build before we ship
  • Run the release QA

Example prompts

  • “test/QA release N”
  • “check the build before we ship”
  • “run the release QA”
  • “/qa-release”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-flight (you, main thread)
  2. Fast mechanical baseline (you)
  3. Dispatch the QA team
  4. Consolidate
  5. Restore & verify
  6. Deliver the verdict (playbook §9 template)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8389df7. 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:

    • 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

QA Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 521 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 521 words (~1,098 tokens).

“You are running jit's pre-release QA as the lead of a QA team. The shared charter is docs/testing/pre-release-playbook.md — read it. The mechanical helper is scripts/pre-release-live-test.sh. The QA engineers are the jit-qa-* subagents. Your job: pre-flight the release candidate, dispatch…”

How do I install QA Release in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add jitpass/jit --skill qa-release -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/qa-release in jitpass/jit) into .claude/skills/qa-release in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install QA Release in Codex?

Run `npx skills add jitpass/jit --skill qa-release -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/qa-release in jitpass/jit) into .agents/skills/qa-release in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use QA Release in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jitpass/jit --skill qa-release -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/qa-release, .gemini/skills/qa-release, .github/skills/qa-release and .opencode/skills/qa-release in your project.

What does QA Release need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, QA Release needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Our summary lists: Docker.

Does QA Release access the network?

What licence does QA Release use?

QA Release has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does QA Release use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
