Run the Gate 5 release readiness checklist item by item against the delivery documents and the release candidate, and produce a go, no-go, or conditional go with every condition named, owned, and dated. Use when a release is inside two weeks of its target date, when a readiness document is being filled for the first time, when a launch slipped and the checklist needs re-running, or when someone wants to ship on a feeling. Takes the release readiness document, UAT results, rollback evidence…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Launch Readiness: go, no-go, or conditions with names on them

Launches fail at the gate in one recognizable way: the checklist is ticked from memory, the rollback exists on paper, and support learns about the release from a customer. This skill walks Gate 5 one item at a time, demands evidence in the release candidate for each, and turns "mostly ready" into a conditional go whose conditions each have an owner and a close-by date, or into the no-go it actually is.

## Files this skill drives

- Gate 5 in [../../os/STAGE-GATES.md](../../os/STAGE-GATES.md), whose eight items this skill walks in order

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os/launch-readiness@sha256:bd2c8ae4c38713df

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.72235e0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
