What it does

Release Testing Workflow is an agent skill from naodeng/awesome-qa-skills. Use this skill when you need release-phase QA workflow from T-14 planning to go/no-go and post-release monitoring; triggers include release testing workflow and go/no-go QA.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 37 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `evals/cases/basic-success.yaml`).

When your agent uses it

  • You need release-phase QA workflow from T-14 planning to go/no-go and post-release monitoring
  • Triggers include release testing workflow and go/no-go QA

Example prompts

  • “/release-testing-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read and follow prompts/release-testing-workflow.md (timeline, gates, Go/No-Go, handoffs).
  2. Add release date, scope, freeze rules, candidate build, and known defects that change decisions.
  3. After locating the T window, hand off by skill name per reference.md; invoke specialty type skills by name only.
  4. If input is incomplete, still draft a gate board and mark assumptions—never invent pass results.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52c4eaf. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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 Testing Workflow loads about 536 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~536

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); the scripts in this folder 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 248 words (~536 tokens).
