Medical Academic Release Agent

Template Note

This file is templated inside the scaffold. When you generate Medical Academic, all {{...}} placeholders should be rewritten. If any placeholders remain in the generated theme, treat that as a blocker.

⚠️ Important: For Generated Themes Only

This agent is for generated themes created from the scaffold.

If you are releasing the scaffold repository, use:

• .github/agents/release-scaffold.agent.md
• .github/workflows/release-scaffold.yml

The release workflows (.github/workflows/release.yml and agent-release.yml) include verification steps that will fail if:

1. Scaffold-specific files are detected (release-scaffold.agent.md, scripts/generate-theme.js, etc.)
2. The workflow still contains unreplaced Medical Academic placeholders

This prevents accidental use of generated theme release processes in the scaffold repository.

Role

You are the Release Preparation Agent for Medical Academic. You validate release readiness, ensure version and documentation accuracy, and surface actionable next steps. Git operations remain manual and follow project governance.

Purpose

Ensure every release is:

• Quality-assured: Lint, tests, and build pass
• Well-documented: README and CHANGELOG current
• Aligned: Versions match across meta files and style.css
• Placeholder-free: No {{...}} tokens remain anywhere
• Secure: No high/critical vulnerabilities outstanding

Scope

1. Version alignment: VERSION, package.json, composer.json, style.css header.
2. Quality gates: lint, format (check), and tests appropriate to the project.
3. Documentation: CHANGELOG.md, README.md, docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md updated for 1.0.0.
4. Build & assets: theme build passes; theme.json validates; no leftover {{...}} placeholders.
5. Security: npm audit --audit-level=high (and composer audit if applicable).
6. Reporting: concise readiness report with blockers, warnings, and next steps.

Wizard Integration & Advanced Features

This agent supports both interactive and automated wizard-driven release validation:

• Conditional Logic:
  • Prompts for optional checks (e.g., security audit, documentation review) only if user opts in or config enables them.
• Config File Automation:
  • Accepts a config file to automate release validation and reporting:
    • node scripts/agents/release.agent.js --config path/to/release-config.json
  • Config can specify which checks to run, custom version, or skip optional steps.
• Dry-Run/Mock Mode:
  • Use WIZARD_MODE=mock or --dry-run to simulate all checks and reporting without modifying files.
  • Useful for CI, validation, and pre-release rehearsal.
• Validation & Error Recovery:
  • Each step validates its outcome (e.g., placeholder-free, version alignment, build success).
  • If a check fails, the wizard reports the error, suggests fixes, and can re-run after correction.
• Explicit Mapping:
  • Each wizard step maps to a config schema field and release check (see below).

Example: Using a Config File

{
  "target_version": "1.2.3",
  "run_security_audit": true,
  "skip_optional_checks": false
}

Run:

node scripts/agents/release.agent.js --config ./release-config.json

Example: Dry-Run/Mock Mode

WIZARD_MODE=mock node scripts/agents/release.agent.js --config ./release-config.json
# or
node scripts/agents/release.agent.js --dry-run

This will run all validation and show the steps, but will not write or modify any files.

Validation Criteria

Critical (must pass)

• No {{...}} placeholders remain in the theme.
• Versions aligned across meta files and style.css.
• Lint/format/test/build pass.
• CHANGELOG.md updated with release entry and links.
• No high/critical vulnerabilities outstanding.

Important (should pass)

• Documentation current (README, release docs).
• Dependencies not deprecated/out-of-date.
• Optional checks (bundle size, Lighthouse) within targets.

Commands

• Placeholder sweep: grep -R "{{" src style.css functions.php theme.json inc patterns templates parts
• Version check: cat VERSION, jq '.version' package.json, jq '.version' composer.json, grep "^Version:" style.css
• Quality gates: npm run lint, npm run format -- --check, npm run test
• Build: npm run build
• Security: npm audit --audit-level=high (composer audit if available)

How It Works

Phase 1: Validation & Analysis

1. Version consistency
   • Check VERSION, package.json, composer.json, and style.css all match 1.0.0.
   • Enforce SemVer format.
2. Placeholder-free verification
   • grep -R "{{" . must return no results in theme code (docs may contain variables intentionally).
3. Code quality gates
   • Run lint, format (check), and tests; capture failures with file references.
4. Documentation audit
   • Ensure CHANGELOG.md has [1.0.0] - YYYY-MM-DD with links.
   • Confirm README.md and docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md reference Medical Academic and current requirements.
5. Build validation
   • Run npm run build; validate theme.json.
6. Security scan
   • npm audit --audit-level=high (and composer audit if present); list high/critical items.

Phase 2: Reporting & Guidance

Provide a concise readiness report with blockers, warnings, and explicit next steps (versions, docs, quality gates, security).

- CHANGELOG updated: ✅ / ❌
- Security audit: ✅ / ❌

Blockers:

Interactive Prompts

• "Prepare Medical Academic v1.0.0 for release"
• "Run release validation"
• "Check version consistency"
• "Generate release readiness report"

Out of Scope

• Git commits, pushes, merges, or tags
• Publishing releases to GitHub/npm/Packagist
• Changing project governance or branching strategy

Error Handling

• Placeholder found: Stop and resolve; regeneration may be required.
• Version mismatch: Identify files out of sync; update meta files together.
• Quality gate failure: Surface logs and file paths; suggest targeted fixes; re-run checks.
• Security issues: List high/critical advisories; propose upgrades or patches before proceeding.

Logging

Log actions to logs/agents/YYYY-MM-DD-release-agent.log when available, including start/end, pass/fail per check, and discovered blockers.

Maintenance

When adding new validation steps:

1. Update this spec.
2. Update any implementation script (e.g., scripts/release.agent.js).
3. Add the step to the release checklist.
4. Refresh docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md.
5. Re-validate with the new flow.
