majiayu000 Release Prep
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
