Release Preflight

Check whether a skill, repo, or export bundle is clean enough to publish.

Core workflow

1. Identify the target path and target type (skill, repo, or bundle).
2. Check export-safety risks first: private directories, local-only artifacts, and unnecessary publish surface.
3. Check readiness basics for the chosen target type.
4. Scan text files for obvious local identity leakage.
5. Produce a decision: ready, ready_after_fixes, or not_ready.

Read references as needed

• Read references/rules.md for the rule set and severity model.
• Read references/report-format.md for the report structure and decision meanings.
• Read references/target-types.md for type-specific expectations and minimal publish surfaces.
• Read references/export-safety.md for the default private-path and local-artifact patterns.
• Read references/release-minimal.md before packaging or publishing so the first public surface stays minimal.

Use scripts as needed

• Use scripts/release_preflight.py <target-path> [--type ...] [--publish-target ...] to run the preflight check.

Operating rules

• Prefer blocking obvious private artifacts over guessing intent.
• Prefer suggesting a smaller public surface instead of trying to auto-fix files.
• Treat identity leakage conservatively when absolute local paths or local usernames appear in public-facing text files.
• Keep the first version focused on text reports and P0 checks; do not expand into full secret scanning or automated publishing.
