What are the Rigor Tiers?

Rigor Tiers (1-3) adjust the strictness of the release checklist based on project needs, ranging from simple personal apps to enterprise systems requiring full audit trails.

Does this skill perform automated security scans?

Yes, it runs mandatory security scans using the ubs command and performs specialized manual reviews for common Java SQL injection and JS/TS XSS vulnerabilities.

How does it handle multi-agent projects?

It uses the Agent Mail protocol to check for unresolved urgent messages and release any file reservations held by other agents before final sign-off.

What is a 'bead' in the context of this skill?

Beads are unit-of-work trackers used in this specific agent stack to manage tasks; the release skill ensures all beads are 'closed' to guarantee no work is left unfinished.

How do I trigger the release process?

You can trigger the skill by saying 'release' or 'ship' in the Claude Code interface once your development work is complete or before deploying to production.

Security & Testing

Conducts a comprehensive pre-deployment verification to ensure code quality, security compliance, and project completion before shipping.

The Release skill acts as a final orchestrator and quality gate within the Claude Code environment, mapping to professional protocols for release readiness and security. It automates the validation of task completion via bead tracking, enforces mandatory security scans (ubs), verifies test suites across multiple languages, and manages multi-agent handoffs. By categorizing releases into rigor tiers, it provides tailored checklists ranging from hobbyist projects to enterprise-grade deployments, ensuring that no critical vulnerabilities, uncommitted changes, or orphaned tasks reach production.
