SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates deployment uncertainty by replacing subjective human judgment with a rigorous, evidence-based verification process that ensures only fully tested and validated code reaches production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-Based Gating: Automatically verifies that critical test tiers (smoke, API, E2E, matrix) have passed in the correct sequence.
  • Critical Area Protection: Enforces strict checks on sensitive domains like auth, payments, and data safety, failing closed if evidence is missing.
  • Use Case: Use this before a production deployment to generate a definitive Release Gate Report that confirms whether your current build meets all safety and quality requirements.

Quick Start

Run the check-release-gate skill to evaluate the current deployment readiness and generate a release gate report for the production environment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify deployment readiness for production releases?

Deployment readiness is verified by evaluating test evidence and critical system integrity to ensure deterministic quality gates. The process requires explicit passing evidence for critical areas like authentication and data safety to produce a final ship or no-ship decision.

What is evidence-based gating in software deployment?

Evidence-based gating automatically verifies that critical test tiers like smoke, API, E2E, and matrix tests have passed in the correct sequence. It enforces strict checks on sensitive domains like auth and payments, failing closed if required evidence is missing.

Can I use automated quality gates for pull requests and production stages?

Automated quality gates operate across various deployment stages including pull requests and production releases. They replace subjective human judgment with a rigorous verification process to ensure only fully tested and validated code reaches production.

How do I enforce data safety checks before a production deployment?

Data safety checks are enforced by requiring explicit passing test evidence for sensitive domains before deployment. The release gate fails closed if this evidence is missing, ensuring critical areas like data safety are strictly protected.

Why does a release gate fail when test evidence is missing?

A release gate fails closed when test evidence is missing to eliminate deployment uncertainty and prevent unvalidated code from reaching production. This deterministic quality gate replaces subjective human judgment with rigorous evidence-based verification.
