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

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

Workflow

Load skill to access gate modules.
Attach Release Gate section to deployment PR.
Use tracker data to auto-fill blockers and highlight overdue tasks.
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.
