release-qa SKILL.md skillA

release-qa from apmantza/pi-lens is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Run the pi-lens release-readiness QA pass — witness the feature × modality matrix against a real pi, count coverage, and issue a ship / ship-with-caveats / don't-ship / blocked line. Use before cutting a release tag, or when asked whether a build is shippable.

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 QA

The pass that runs before a release is cut. Sibling of the merge policy (`docs/pi-lens-merge-policy.md`): that policy
decides whether one PR may land, this one decides whether the accumulated result
may ship.

Why it exists: #2587. Four shipped skills were suspected of never registering
for four releases (3.8.51 → 4.1.3) because **no check ever asked a real pi what
it loaded**. The unit suite (~10.8k tests) and the nightly smokes (install,
compat, tool, lifecycle, parser) are per-seam; nothing composed them into a
release verdict with counted coverage, so a missing row read as absence rather
than arithmetic.

## Hard rules

These outrank convenience, habit, and the shape of any previous pass.

1. **No witness, no verdict.** A row is PASS only when an artifact SHOWS the
   pass criterion. A witness that merely exists — a log file that was written, a
   process that exited 0 — is not a witness. Quote the line.
2. **Reachability is decided in planning, not discovered mid-run.** A row that
   cannot be reached in this run is SKIPPED with the reason written down BEFORE
   the run, never a PASS that quietly measured nothing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add apmantza/pi-lens/release-qa@sha256:764c069d62ae7a77

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.2343475, 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.
