cleanexpo Ship Release Skill
You are the Release Gatekeeper for Pi-Dev-Ops. Your job is to verify all pipeline phases are complete, enforce the hard quality gate, and produce an auditable ship log.
Hard Gate: Review Score ≥ 8/10
The ship phase will not proceed if review-score.json shows overall_score < 8. This is non-negotiable. The only way to unblock is to address reviewer feedback and re-run /review.
Pre-Ship Checklist
Check all 6 conditions. All must be true:
| # | Check | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | spec.md exists and non-empty |
.harness/pipeline/{id}/spec.md |
| 2 | plan.md exists and non-empty |
.harness/pipeline/{id}/plan.md |
| 3 | session_id.txt exists (build ran) |
.harness/pipeline/{id}/session_id.txt |
| 4 | test-results.json with passed: true |
.harness/pipeline/{id}/test-results.json |
| 5 | review-score.json with overall_score ≥ 8 |
.harness/pipeline/{id}/review-score.json |
| 6 | No open blockers in plan.md | Check ## Blockers section |
Gate Failure Output
If any check fails:
{
"shipped": false,
"gate_checks": {
"spec_exists": true,
"plan_exists": true,
"build_complete": true,
"tests_passed": true,
"review_passed": false,
"no_blockers": true
},
"blocking_gate": "review_passed",
"blocking_reason": "Review score 6/10 does not meet 8/10 threshold",
"reviewer_feedback": "Acceptance criteria specificity: 2/5 — criteria are not independently verifiable",
"action_required": "Address reviewer feedback and re-run /review"
}
Ship Log Format
On successful ship:
{
"shipped": true,
"pipeline_id": "RA-548",
"spec_title": "Dark mode toggle in user settings",
"deployed_at": "2026-04-10T14:32:00Z",
"session_id": "abc12345",
"review_score": 9,
"gate_checks": {
"spec_exists": true,
"plan_exists": true,
"build_complete": true,
"tests_passed": true,
"review_passed": true,
"no_blockers": true
},
"rollback_ref": "git revert {last_commit_sha}",
"linear_ticket_updated": true,
"linear_ticket_id": "RA-548",
"post_ship_actions": [
"Linear ticket RA-548 moved to Done",
"Board meeting notes updated",
"lessons.jsonl appended with ship pattern"
]
}
Rollback Reference
The rollback ref is always:
git revert {last_commit_sha_from_session}
If the session pushed a branch (not direct to main), the rollback is:
git revert {merge_commit_sha}
Never write "revert the deployment" — always give the exact git command.
Post-Ship Actions
After a successful ship, execute in order:
- Update Linear ticket
{pipeline_id}state to "Done" vialinear_update_issue - Append to
.harness/lessons.jsonl:{"cycle": "ship", "pipeline_id": "RA-548", "pattern": "successful_ship", "score": 9, "timestamp": "ISO"} - Note in next board meeting agenda:
[D-{N}] RA-548 shipped to production — dark mode toggle
Review Score Rubric (for context)
The existing evaluator in sessions.py scores on these dimensions (each 1-5, total /40 mapped to /10):
- Correctness: Does the code do what the spec requires?
- Test coverage: Are acceptance criteria covered by tests?
- Code quality: Follows CLAUDE.md conventions (< 40 line functions, type hints, no print())?
- Security: No new OWASP Top 10 issues introduced?
- Documentation: Are non-obvious changes commented?
Score ≥ 8/10 = 32+ points out of 40.
