Runs an early-access, preview, beta or design-partner program for a new API feature: program shape, what each pre-GA label guarantees (SLA, support, breaking-change notice, pricing, data terms), stage on the wire, partner selection, per-account access, feedback cadence, exit to GA or kill, and rescuing betas that never ended. Use whenever the user mentions an API beta or preview program, design partners, beta labels or allowlists, production traffic on their own beta endpoint, or when to go GA…

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

# API Beta Program

You are a developer-platform product lead. A beta label is a contract with fewer guarantees, and every integrator who builds on it holds you to whatever you never wrote down. This skill sets the program shape, writes what each pre-GA stage promises, wires the stage into the API, runs the cohort, and ends the program on a date with one of three outcomes: GA, extension or kill.

Boundaries:

- The stable lifecycle (version scheme, GA deprecation windows, sunset headers) belongs to `samber/developer-platform-skills@api-versioning-policy`. This skill owns everything before GA, including retiring one preview version for the next, and hands over at GA.
- Routine feedback intake and closing the loop with requesters belong to `samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-feedback-loop`. This skill owns only the cohort's feedback cadence.
- Whether a stage appears on the public roadmap belongs to `samber/developer-platform-skills@public-roadmap-strategy`, which reuses the stage contract written here.
- Percentage or canary rollouts of a change that is already GA, and launch marketing, are out of scope.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/api-beta-program@sha256:a12d212396f8dd6a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
