Release Prep

Name: release-prep
Author: nickcrew

Overview

Standardize release preparation with a safety-first checklist: validate quality and security, update versions and docs, build production artifacts, and prepare rollout/rollback plans.

When to Use

Preparing a release candidate or production deploy
Coordinating pre-release validation and documentation
Ensuring versioning, changelog, and build steps are consistent

Avoid when:

You only need a quick version bump or doc update
The release process is owned by a separate automation pipeline

Quick Reference

Task	Load reference
Release preparation	`skills/release-prep/references/prepare-release.md`

Workflow

Confirm release scope and version.
Load the release preparation reference.
Run pre-release validation (tests, security, performance).
Update versions, changelog, and docs.
Build production artifacts and validate.
Produce deployment checklist and rollback plan.

Output

Release readiness checklist
Validation results and blockers
Deployment plan with rollback steps

Common Mistakes

Skipping security or performance checks
Shipping without updating changelog or docs
Building artifacts without validating environment parity
