wf-release
This skill should only be used when the user uses the word workflow and asks to release or ship changes with a release checklist, verification, and clean handoff/pickup boundaries.
Best use case
wf-release is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
This skill should only be used when the user uses the word workflow and asks to release or ship changes with a release checklist, verification, and clean handoff/pickup boundaries.
Teams using wf-release should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# wf-release ## Purpose Ship changes safely with a minimal release checklist, changelog/release notes, and post-release verification. Prefer `prd.json` as the source of truth for what shipped (user story IDs + acceptance criteria). `plan.md` may exist for rollout/rollback notes, but it’s optional. ## Inputs - Plan/PRD acceptance criteria (prefer `prd.json`) - Release scope + rollout constraints - Monitoring + rollback requirements - Target repo + branch/PR ## Outputs - Release notes / changelog entry / post-release notes (as needed) - GO/NO-GO decision with verification evidence - Optional learning entry via `compound-docs` ## Steps 0) (Recommended) Pickup if starting fresh thread / resuming - Invoke `pickup` if repo/branch/PR state is not fresh. 1) Confirm scope + rollout shape Capture: - what is shipping (and what is not) - rollout strategy (flags, staged, canary) - rollback steps (including data) - monitors to watch - link to `prd.json` (and plan.md if present) 2) Pre-release verification (mandatory) - Run verify skill. - If verify fails: NO-GO unless user explicitly accepts risk. 3) Release artefacts - Draft release notes / changelog entry (keep it short, user-facing) - Prefer listing shipped stories by ID (US-xxx) from `prd.json` - Note any operator actions (migrations, flags, config) 4) Post-release verification - State what to check after deploy (smoke checks + metrics) - If available, record evidence (screenshots/logs) 5) Compound (recommended when non-trivial) - If anything surprising happened (flaky tests, rollout gotcha, weird failure mode): suggest `compound-docs` 6) Context boundary (recommended) If handing off to another agent/person or switching workflows: - invoke `handoff` - recommend new thread for next work: `/new` then `pickup` ## Verification - Verify skill run pre-release (required). ## Go/No-Go - GO if verify is green, rollback plan exists, and monitors listed. - NO-GO otherwise.

Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
modular-skills-architect
Map and refactor an agent context ecosystem: skills, commands/workflows, hooks, agent files, AGENTS.md templates, and docs. Output system map, module/dependency design, Register updates, and a concrete split/consolidate/rename/delete plan. Use when routing or ownership is messy.

agent-native-audit
Comprehensive agent-native architecture audit with scored principles and multi-slice review. Use for system-wide health checks or periodic audits.
write-judge-prompt
Design LLM-as-Judge evaluators for subjective criteria that code-based checks cannot handle. Use when a failure mode requires interpretation (tone, faithfulness, relevance, completeness). Do NOT use when the failure mode can be checked with code (regex, schema validation, execution tests). Do NOT use when you need to validate or calibrate the judge — use validate-evaluator instead.
validate-evaluator
Calibrate an LLM judge against human labels using data splits, TPR/TNR, and bias correction. Use after writing a judge prompt (write-judge-prompt) when you need to verify alignment before trusting its outputs. Do NOT use for code-based evaluators (those are deterministic; test with standard unit tests).
generate-synthetic-data
Create diverse synthetic test inputs for LLM pipeline evaluation using dimension-based tuple generation. Use when bootstrapping an eval dataset, when real user data is sparse, or when stress-testing specific failure hypotheses. Do NOT use when you already have 100+ representative real traces (use stratified sampling instead), or when the task is collecting production logs.
evaluate-rag
Guides evaluation of RAG pipeline retrieval and generation quality. Use when evaluating a retrieval-augmented generation system, measuring retrieval quality, assessing generation faithfulness or relevance, generating synthetic QA pairs for retrieval testing, or optimizing chunking strategies.
eval-audit
Audit an LLM eval pipeline and surface problems: missing error analysis, unvalidated judges, vanity metrics, etc. Use when inheriting an eval system, when unsure whether evals are trustworthy, or as a starting point when no eval infrastructure exists. Do NOT use when the goal is to build a new evaluator from scratch (use error-analysis, write-judge-prompt, or validate-evaluator instead).
error-analysis
Help the user systematically identify and categorize failure modes in an LLM pipeline by reading traces. Use when starting a new eval project, after significant pipeline changes (new features, model switches, prompt rewrites), when production metrics drop, or after incidents.
build-review-interface
Build a custom browser-based annotation interface tailored to your data for reviewing LLM traces and collecting structured feedback. Use when you need to build an annotation tool, review traces, or collect human labels.
