Audit a pending OpenBot release for upgrade and data-loss hazards before the version is bumped or tagged. Use when asked to cut a release, create or bump a version, prepare a tag, or check whether a change is safe to ship to installed users.

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

# Release upgrade safety

Every hazard here is one an installed user pays for and you cannot take back. `openbot.db` is
migrated in place with no backup, two dozen files under `userData` are rewritten by whichever build
opens them last, a released Team API adapter is spoken by peers you will never update, and the
account Worker's D1 migrations are applied before the Worker that needs them. A build that ships
past one of these does not fail on your machine; it fails on someone else's, once, permanently.

Audit the diff since the last released tag against the eight gates below, then report a verdict.
This runs *before* `docs/RELEASING.md`, which stays authoritative for the publish itself.

## What this skill does and does not do

- It audits. It does not run `bun run release:patch`, commit a version bump, or push a tag unless
  you are separately asked to.
- It never runs `bun run check`, `check:desktop`, `test`, or `build-storybook` — each takes minutes,
  CI owns them, and the desktop suite flakes under load, so a red result would tell you nothing.
  Run the narrowest test file named by a gate and lint the changed files. Do not run the repo-wide
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nightly-labs/openbot/release-upgrade-safety@sha256:22eaaf92e4c731c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.212eff2, 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.
