release-readiness

name: release-readiness description: Use this skill when you want Claude Code to check whether a change in this repository is ready to hand off, merge, or deploy. It is best for deciding what validation is still missing across backend, frontend, crawler, newsletters, agentic_ai, or infrastructure.

Release Readiness

Use this skill after implementing a change.

Workflow

1. Identify the touched services from the changed files.
2. Map each touched area to its minimum useful validation.
3. Check for obvious repo-specific drift risks:
   • generated output edited instead of source
   • backend or crawler scheduled paths mismatched
   • frontend API URL inconsistency introduced
   • newsletter or crawler live-side-effect commands run unintentionally
   • infra placeholders or mutable tags left behind
4. Report:
   • what is validated
   • what is unvalidated
   • what should block merge versus what is residual risk

Minimum Validation Hints

• backend/: npm test
• frontend/: npm run lint, plus Playwright for user-flow changes
• crawler/: npm test
• newsletters/: npm test
• agentic_ai/: static review unless Python environment is confirmed
• infrastructure/: manifest/script consistency review unless deploy tooling is confirmed

References

• Read references/validation-matrix.md if the touched surface spans multiple services.
