What problem does it solve? Releasing software involves far more than deploying code, and teams often miss critical steps like migration rollback plans, security checks, or stakeholder sign-off. This Skill provides a complete release readiness checklist so a Technical Product Owner can systematically verify that an increment is truly ready for production. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Comprehensive Release Gates: Covers release metadata, scope confirmation, pre-release requirements, code quality, testing, UX/UI, database migrations, APIs, security, deployment, rollback, monitoring, and post-release review. - Go / No-Go Decision Framework: Structured decision table across Product, Engineering, QA, UX/UI, Security, and Operations with conditions for conditional releases. - Ready-to-Use Templates: Includes a release notes template, deployment plan table, and rollback plan with explicit rollback triggers. - Use Case: Before shipping a new payment feature, walk through the checklist to confirm migration rollback plans exist, security blockers are resolved, smoke tests are scheduled, and every functional area has signed off on the Go/No-Go decision. ## Quick Start Use the release checklist skill to evaluate whether my current sprint increment is ready for production release.
