Audit skillsaw for release readiness — test new rules against real repositories, audit core architectural dimensions, independently verify proposed fixes, and ship improvements in clean, focused batches. Use before cutting a release.

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.

# skillsaw Release Ready

Ensure skillsaw is rock-solid before every release. This skill orchestrates parallel subagent reviews to test newly added rules against real-world repositories, audits key codebase dimensions, and ships vetted improvements in clean batches of up to 10 commits per PR.

Reviewers evaluate every finding using three core questions:

1. **Does it affect common usage?** Prioritize findings that developers will frequently encounter on real projects.
2. **Is it accurate?** Guard against false positives on files that upstream tools accept.
3. **Is it helpful and high-signal?** Ensure rules provide clear value without unnecessary noise.

## Step 1: Establish scope

Identify what has changed since the last release tag:

```bash
git fetch --tags
git diff --name-status v<last>..HEAD -- src/skillsaw/rules/builtin/ | grep -E '^[AM]'
git log --merges --format=%s v<last>..HEAD
gh pr view <n> --json title,body   # review previous release-readiness PRs
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stbenjam/skillsaw/skillsaw-release-ready@sha256:5a3f9d7045d221d0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
