Release Engineering
SkillDatabases & dataPlan and verify software releases with versioning, changelogs, release branches, feature flags, canaries, migration gates, rollback, deployment checks, and release readiness. Use when preparing a release, shipping a risky PR, coordinating app/backend/database rollout, recovering from a bad deploy, or defining release policy for a repo.

Purpose
Use this skill to turn "ready to merge" into a controlled release. It connects code, data, config, deployment, monitoring, and rollback.
Release Classification
Classify the release before choosing gates:
| Type | Extra Gates |
|---|---|
| Patch fix | focused regression test, rollback proof |
| Feature release | feature flag, docs/changelog, product acceptance |
| API or SDK change | versioning, deprecation, compatibility tests |
| Database migration | data-contract-migrations, backup, backfill, recovery |
| Config or secret change | config-secrets-environments, rotation, drift check |
| Infrastructure change | canary, health checks, capacity and rollback |
Release Plan
For non-trivial releases, require:
- Version or release identifier.
- Changelog entries grouped by user impact.
- Build artifacts and provenance.
- Migration and config gates.
- Canary or staged rollout plan.
- Monitoring dashboard and alert expectations.
- Rollback or roll-forward command.
- Owner, decision time, and abort criteria.
Verification
Use fresh commands from the current session. Typical gates:
git status --short
git log --oneline -n 5
# project-specific build/test command
# migration dry run or validation query
# deployment health check
Do not claim a release shipped unless remote git, CI, artifact, and runtime state have each been checked at the required level.
