Assess Release Readiness
Analyze a branch to determine if it's ready for release.
Analysis Tasks
- •
Review code changes: Check
git diff main..HEADfor:- •Incomplete work (TODO, FIXME, XXX comments in new code)
- •Security concerns (hardcoded secrets, credentials)
- •Runtime errors or obvious bugs
- •
Check for blocking issues:
- •Tests failing (if tests exist)
- •Type errors (if type checking exists)
- •Missing files referenced in code
- •
Identify actionable items (not theoretical concerns):
- •Documentation that needs updating
- •Version numbers to bump
- •Files to stage/commit before release
What NOT to Flag
- •"Breaking changes" for command renames - users adapt
- •API changes in a plugin - plugins are configuration, not APIs
- •Internal refactoring - doesn't affect users
- •Theoretical upgrade concerns - users pull fresh versions
Output Format
Return JSON:
json
{
"releasable": true,
"verdict": "Ready for release",
"concerns": [],
"instructions": {
"pre_release": [],
"post_release": []
}
}
Or if issues found:
json
{
"releasable": false,
"verdict": "Needs attention before release",
"concerns": [
"Found TODO comment in src/foo.ts",
"Tests failing in commands/drive.md"
],
"instructions": {
"pre_release": ["Fix failing tests", "Remove TODO comments"],
"post_release": []
}
}
Guidelines
- •Focus on issues that actually block releases
- •Provide actionable instructions, not theoretical warnings
- •"Breaking change" is rarely a real concern for plugins
- •Empty concerns array is the happy path, not a failure
- •If it doesn't require action, don't flag it
