Antigravity Maintainer Batch Release

Antigravity Maintainer Batch Release

When to Use

Use this skill for repository-wide AAS maintenance, maintainer-side PR repair or merge batches, canonical synchronization, AAS Core or Workbench changes, protected releases, and hosted catalog or legacy redirect infrastructure. Do not use it for ordinary contribution work that does not require maintainer privileges or canonical convergence.

Protected-Main Contract

Treat the repository root containing this skill as pull-request-only:

• Read AGENTS.md, .github/MAINTENANCE.md, and current maintainer docs before mutation.
• Never commit or push directly to main, even when the user says “push to main.” That phrase names the final target state.
• Preserve unrelated dirty work. Use a clean temporary clone or a topic branch for maintainer changes.
• Use npm run merge:batch for accepted source PRs. Do not substitute a raw merge API, generic GitHub skill, or generic push helper.
• Let automation/canonical-repo-state own generated artifacts and contributor-credit convergence after the source batch.
• Use release:prepare and release:publish for releases. They never authorize a direct main push.

Source Checks

Before changing anything:

1. Fetch origin/main; prove the clean maintainer checkout is on main and equals origin/main.
2. Inspect live PRs, issues, discussions in scope, Actions failures, Dependabot, CodeQL, secret scanning, and npm audit where relevant.
3. Confirm current scripts from package.json; do not rely on remembered release behavior.
4. Capture user worktree status separately and keep those files out of maintainer commits.

Maintainer Sweep

1. Triage every open PR before editing.

   • Separate valid source changes, repairable PRs, conflicts, generated-only noise, promotional links, and unsupported ownership/license changes.
   • Review semantics, safety, provenance, risk labels, limitations, source credits, and changed-skill evidence.
   • Prefer narrow maintainer repairs on the contributor branch when maintainer edits are enabled.

2. Validate changed skills truthfully.

   • Run npm run validate, npm run validate:references, npm run security:docs, changed-skill evidence, and the relevant tests.
   • Treat the entire tracked skills/<skill-id>/** subtree as skill content. Inspect semantics, safety, provenance, declared risk, limitations, and every bundled file directly, including nested examples, scripts, lockfiles, references, and assets. Never reduce evidence or review to SKILL.md or a fixed support-directory allowlist.
   • Require changed-skill evidence to cover every Git record in each changed canonical skill subtree. Require the skill-review workflow for changes under skills/** or plugins/**/skills/**; its reusable result must be keyed by the complete nearest skill-directory fingerprint on the exact current head SHA.
   • review means Tessl semantic review actually ran or a valid identical-content result was reused.
   • manual-review-required means Tessl credentials or credits were unavailable, or Tessl did not produce a passing result. Perform the maintainer semantic review and attest with --reviewed-head <full-40-character-sha>.
   • Any non-passing Tessl outcome produces manual-review-required; complete the semantic review and bind the judgment to the exact head instead of treating a heuristic score as merge authority.
   • Never report manual-review-required as “Tessl passed.”

3. Run checks in parallel where independent.

   • Use the repository validation, test, docs-security, source-credit, reference, warning-budget, and targeted app checks required by the changed files.
   • Fix deterministic policy failures in the source; do not wait for them as if they were flaky CI.
   • Treat pr-policy fork classification from the exact protected-base implementation as an unprivileged fail-fast gate before dependent work, never as approval authority. merge:batch must still recompute the current trusted decision before approving any fork run or merging.
   • Treat impact_profile as shadow-only telemetry. It must not skip, downgrade, or satisfy any required check.
   • For ordinary source PRs, require source-validation to generate preview state once and artifact-preview to verify the manifest bound to the exact head and run identity. For canonical-sync PRs, rely on pr-policy exact-tree reproduction, keep source-validation lightweight, require artifact-preview to confirm no drift, and retain final CI and CodeQL on the merged main commit.
   • Keep timing observational and test sharding opt-in. Required CI must continue to run the full unsharded npm run test; deterministic local shards may be used only through npm run test:local -- --shard-index N --shard-count M.

4. Merge accepted source PRs in conflict-aware order.

   • Run a dry classification first when useful.

   • For changed skill content, review the exact head and run:

     npm run merge:batch -- --prs <PR_LIST> --reviewed-head <FULL_HEAD_SHA>
     

   • merge:batch does not rewrite the PR body and does not close or reopen the PR. It evaluates the current immutable PR tuple and may approve only workflow runs bound to that PR and exact head SHA.

   • Same-repository location is not sufficient authority for sensitive changes. The guarded same-repository exception is limited to a PR authored by the repository owner and requires an exact full-head attestation; collaborator-authored sensitive PRs fail closed under the external safety policy.

   • The routine protected checks are pr-policy, pr-evidence, source-validation, and artifact-preview. The retired aas-v1-baseline workflow is not a merge prerequisite and must not be awaited or approved during source or canonical-sync batches.

   • If the PR head or base changes, discard stale evidence, refresh to the current origin/main, and rerun the batch. The command does not retry base drift automatically.

5. Converge canonical state once after the source batch.

   • Wait for the protected automation/canonical-repo-state PR.
   • Verify its managed-only diff, required checks, merge result, and the resulting origin/main.
   • If an unmanaged repair remains, use a topic PR; never patch main directly.

Workflow Contract Change Gate

When changing maintainer scripts, workflows, or policy, update the canonical skill, maintainer documentation, and regression tests in the same source PR. Add a negative test for every failure mode being fixed, run the relevant dry-run path, and reject any implementation/documentation mismatch. Source PRs must exclude generated registries and plugin mirrors; the protected canonical-sync PR owns that derived state, except for files intentionally staged by the scripted protected-release flow.

Hosted Catalog and Legacy Redirect Bridge

Treat the current catalog and the legacy user-site bridge as one public system:

• Current catalog: sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills at https://sickn33.github.io/agentic-awesome-skills/.
• Legacy bridge: sickn33/sickn33.github.io at https://sickn33.github.io/antigravity-awesome-skills/.

For SEO, indexing, Pages, redirect, or infrastructure changes:

1. Change the generator and verifier in the source repository through a protected source PR and npm run merge:batch.
2. Keep the legacy deployment managed allowlist exact: .nojekyll, redirect-manifest.json, and antigravity-awesome-skills/**. Reject any unmanaged sync diff or PR file.
3. Preserve Google verification byte-for-byte and the Bing msvalidate.01 meta on the legacy root. Record both in manifest evidence.
4. Keep skill counts dynamic, but retain intentional curated sitemap locks. Version manifest contract changes and record source provenance.
5. Let legacy-redirect-sync.yml generate or update the fixed automation PR. Bind a fresh verifier run to the exact target head SHA, validate its run identity and managed file set, publish the required status only after that proof, then use protected auto-merge.
6. Recheck source main before merge, request the legacy Pages build explicitly after bot-authored merges, and wait for the exact merged commit to be built.
7. Verify locally generated output byte-for-byte, then verify all live legacy/current redirect pairs for a full audit. Retry transient CDN failures with the full audit rather than accepting a partial probe.
8. Prove idempotence with a no-drift sync: no replacement, PR, verification, or merge steps should run; Pages and live probes must still pass.

Keep both repositories on least-privilege Actions defaults (read) and require external actions to be pinned to full commit SHAs. When changing these settings or action versions, rerun source CI, CodeQL, Pages, and a legacy no-drift sync before declaring completion.

AAS Core Preview Acceptance

For AAS CLI, MCP, stack, catalog-cache, or Workbench changes:

1. Use the current scripts declared in package.json; do not resurrect retired evaluator, benchmark, tuning-gold, transaction-fault, race, or frozen-matrix gates as routine prerequisites.
2. Run the focused Core tests with npm run test:aas-v1, the catalog integrity check with npm run check:aas-v1-catalog, and the relevant Workbench tests/build when its contracts or copy change.
3. Keep MCP local, offline, read-only, bounded, and non-mutating. The coding agent inspects the project, searches and reads the complete catalog, and chooses the exact skill IDs. MCP searches, reads, validates agent-owned composition, and compares without scanning the repository or writing to it. Core must not rank, recommend, exclude, or disable skills; metadata is informational only.
4. Keep aas-stack.json free of Core selection policy. It pins catalog identity, targets, goals, and the exact IDs selected by the agent. compose_stack validates and records that selection; missing or cautionary metadata must never make a canonical skill unselectable or unusable.
5. Keep the supported public path at manifest validation and immutable plan preview. Planning may write only the requested plan artifact; it must not materialize skill payloads or AAS managed state in the target.
6. Treat apply and recovery as experimental opt-ins outside the supported preview claim. Do not add apply/recovery, benchmark, fuzz, crash/race, or synthetic verifier work unless the user explicitly places it in scope.
7. When the task asks for end-to-end client proof, use a real supported client that discovers and invokes the local AAS MCP tools; direct stdio probes and automated tests do not substitute for that evidence.
8. Do not tag, publish npm, deploy Pages, or write real user MCP configuration without the separately required publication approval.

Protected Release

Release only when requested.

Every stable or prerelease version requires full release alignment. Creating the tag, GitHub Release, or npm package is an intermediate milestone, never the completion condition.

1. Include the target changelog entry in the maintainer batch PR so it is already on protected main; avoid a separate release-notes-only PR.
2. From clean, current main, run npm run release:preflight and required security checks.
3. Run the release-state generator and its explicit plugin gates. Require a second no-drift pass before publication: npm run sync:release-state, npm run plugin-compat:check, and npm run bundles:check must leave a clean tree. Inspect package.json, package-lock.json, generated registries and the offline catalog, tracked web assets, .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, and every published Codex/Claude plugin mirror and editorial-bundle manifest. Every release-owned manifest version must equal X.Y.Z.
4. Run npm run release:prepare -- X.Y.Z. This creates and pushes release/vX.Y.Z and opens the protected release PR.
5. Merge that release PR through its required checks, update local main to equal origin/main, and wait for every source, release, or canonical-sync PR in the release path to close. Re-run the release-state and plugin gates if protected main moved.
6. Run npm run release:publish -- X.Y.Z. It must resolve exactly one merged release PR from the same repository, authored by the repository owner, with base main, exact title chore: release vX.Y.Z, and head branch release/vX.Y.Z. Zero or multiple candidates fail closed; never select the newest approximate match. The command then verifies that exact protected merge before creating or reusing the tag and GitHub Release.
7. Wait for publishing workflows, then bind every proof to the exact released commit: verify the tag/ref, GitHub Release, npm version and intended dist-tag, required CI, CodeQL, and the explicitly dispatched release-only Pages build from the exact immutable vX.Y.Z tag. Never dispatch Pages from main or another branch. Verify live llms.txt, skills.json, catalog and plugin routes, and the legacy redirect bridge; do not accept a successful run for a different SHA.
8. After npm confirms X.Y.Z as the published dist-tag, discover every already-configured local AAS MCP host from its real configuration and update each one to the exact same package version before declaring the release complete. Updating existing AAS host entries is part of the release; creating a previously absent host configuration still requires explicit authorization.
   • Use the published package's aas mcp configure two-pass flow: first preview the change, then repeat the identical command with its approval digest. Supply absolute host-config, cache, and backup paths; require a backup when replacing an existing configuration.
   • Pin agentic-awesome-skills@X.Y.Z and --version X.Y.Z; never use latest, reuse an older cached runtime, or create a previously absent host configuration without explicit authorization.
   • Verify that the managed host configuration points to a content-addressed X.Y.Z runtime, that the runtime package metadata reports X.Y.Z, and that a real MCP initialize plus tools/list handshake reports catalog package version X.Y.Z.
   • Restart the host or open a fresh client session when required so the new MCP process is actually loaded. If configuration access, approval, or runtime verification is blocked, report the exact blocker and keep the maintainer task incomplete even though the package itself is already public.
9. Fetch origin/main again after automation settles, fast-forward the maintainer checkout, and repeat the release-state, plugin, version, public-surface, and MCP parity checks. The final generator pass must be idempotent, the tree must stay clean, and git rev-list --left-right --count main...origin/main must end at 0 0.

Never rebase a published release tag, force stale release state, reuse a failed published version, or claim npm publication from the GitHub Release alone.

Stop Condition

Finish only when:

• every in-scope PR, issue, and alert is resolved or has one exact blocker;
• no open source or canonical-sync PR remains unintentionally;
• for every stable or prerelease version, clean local main, origin/main, the released commit, canonical generated state, every Codex/Claude plugin mirror, bundle, manifest, marketplace, compatibility report, tag, GitHub Release, npm dist-tag, required workflow, and live public surface agree exactly;
• the source and legacy repositories have no unintended infrastructure PR, their protected branches and Actions settings remain enforced, and the live manifest identifies the source repository;
• the user worktree is unchanged except for files the user explicitly placed in scope;
• release proof is complete when a release was requested, including an idempotent no-drift regeneration and exact runtime parity between the published npm package and every already-configured local AAS MCP host. Any mismatch keeps the release incomplete.

Failure Rules

• A protected-branch rejection means switch to the PR path; never retry direct main pushes.
• A missing PR checklist is informational; never mutate, close, or reopen a PR merely to refresh template metadata.
• Preserve unrelated dirty files and never stage them into maintainer work.
• Do not bypass merge:batch, canonical-sync, or scripted release commands with generic Git helpers.
• Do not weaken a test or policy gate merely to make a batch pass. Retire a gate only after explicit maintainer authorization, then update branch protection, workflow files, merge automation, documentation, and maintainer skills together so no phantom requirement remains.

Examples

For a reviewed source PR whose exact head is 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567, exercise the protected path before merging:

npm run merge:batch -- --prs 914 --dry-run --reviewed-head 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567

Run the same command without --dry-run only after every required check passes and the attested head remains unchanged.

Limitations

• This skill orchestrates the repository's existing scripts and protected workflows; it does not grant GitHub, npm, Pages, or local-client permissions.
• Stop at the exact approval or credential boundary when publication, authenticated configuration, or another externally visible action was not authorized.
• Re-read the current repository policy and package.json on every run because branch protection, checks, and supported preview commands may change.
