Stop every push/merge to main from shipping to production — deploy only on a real release. Use when a merge to main unexpectedly deploys to prod, when you want production to deploy only on a semantic-release version (not every commit), when setting up preview-on-feature-branch but gated-prod-on-main, wiring a Vercel Ignored Build Step / `ignoreCommand`, promoting to a staging/`production` branch, or triggering a deploy from a published GitHub Release (GKE, self-hosted, dispatchable targets).…
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
# Gating production deploys to real releases By default, a push/merge to `main` deploys to production. With [semantic-release](../semantic-release-automation/SKILL.md) you usually want the opposite: **previews on feature branches, but production only on an actual release** (a versioned `chore(release):` commit / a published GitHub Release). There are three ways to enforce that. They have **names, not letters**, so you can pick one by name and record it (see "pick the flow" below): | | **Release-Triggered Deploy** | **Promotion Branch** | **Build-Skip Gate** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | One-liner | CI runs the deploy when a Release publishes | a release fast-forwards a `production` branch the platform watches | a script cancels non-release builds on the platform | | Who deploys | a workflow **you** control (GKE, self-hosted, dispatchable, or a platform CLI) | the platform's **native git integration**, but only off `production` | the **platform** auto-builds every push; the script vetoes | …

How to install
mdr add stealth-factory/skills/production-release-gating@sha256:eabcc292dec8a42eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.0, 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.
