Release Health Gates

Purpose

Standardize release approvals by expressing gates as GitHub-aware checklists. Ensure code, docs, comms, and observability items are green before deployment.

Gate Categories

  1. Scope & Risk – Are all blocking issues closed or deferred with owners?
  2. Quality Signals – Are required checks, tests, and soak times satisfied?
  3. Comms & Docs – Are docs merged and release notes posted?
  4. Operations – Are runbooks, oncall sign-off, and rollback plans ready?

Workflow

  1. Load skill to access gate modules.
  2. Attach Release Gate section to deployment PR.
  3. Use tracker data to auto-fill blockers and highlight overdue tasks.
  4. Update comment as gates turn green; require approvals for any waivers.

Outputs

  • Release Gate markdown snippet (embed in PR/issue).
  • QA Handshake summary referencing GitHub Checks.
  • Rollout scorecard that persists in tracker data for retros.

Exit Criteria

  • All release gates evaluated and documented.
  • Any blocking gates have waiver approvals recorded.
  • Deployment PR contains embedded Release Gate snippet.
  • Rollout scorecard saved for post-release retrospective.
