Release check workflow

Use this workflow when preparing, reviewing, or validating a software release.

Steps

1. Identify release target.

   • Version or tag
   • Branch or commit
   • Package or app artifact
   • Deployment target
   • Release notes audience

2. Read release sources.

   • Diff since last release
   • Changelog
   • Package metadata
   • CI status
   • Build scripts
   • Docs and migration notes

3. Validate readiness.

   • Tests
   • Typecheck/lint/build
   • Artifact generation
   • Smoke test
   • Dependency/security checks if relevant
   • Backward compatibility and migration notes

4. Prepare release material.

   • Version bump
   • Tag plan
   • Release notes
   • Known issues
   • Rollback path
   • Verification commands

5. Read back final state.

   • Commit SHA
   • Tag
   • Artifact path or URL
   • CI/check results if remote release is involved

Output

Return:

1. Release target
2. Change summary
3. Validation performed
4. Artifact/tag/state
5. Known risks or rollback notes

Do not

• Do not create tags or publish artifacts unless explicitly asked.
• Do not claim CI or release success without reading back the final state.
• Do not overstate stability beyond the checks actually run.
