Choose the assurance tier a release needs, gather the evidence that tier requires, label release intent by semantic-version impact, and structure a canary-before-promotion path with an explicit recovery disposition. Use when planning a release or judging whether checksums, provenance, an SBOM, or a claim of support are warranted. Do not use for product code, publish-command syntax, or release credentials.
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
# Governed release methodology Release engineering is the discipline of matching **ceremony to consequence**. Too little, and a consumer upgrades into a broken build with no way back. Too much, and every documentation fix drags a supply-chain ritual behind it until the ritual is performed without belief and stops meaning anything. This skill is product-, language-, and registry-independent. It applies to a Cratis repository publishing NuGet packages, one publishing npm packages, one pushing container images, and one whose whole delivery is a merge to `main`. It grants no release authority of its own: it tells you what a claim costs, not that you may make it. ## Start with the artifact, not the process The single most expensive mistake is applying package-release ceremony to something that is not a package. Classify the artifact first. | Artifact | What the consumer receives | Ceremony it earns | | --- | --- | --- | | Compiled package (NuGet, npm, Maven, Hex), container image, installer | Opaque bytes built on infrastructure the consumer cannot inspect | Full supply-chain receipts | …

How to install
mdr add cratis/ai/cratis-governed-release-methodology@sha256:e4965bc46b3065b2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.8f186c3, 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.
