Pre-release gate for the monorepo — establishes per-plugin release boundaries (each plugin's last tag → HEAD), audits every changed plugin's CHANGELOG against the actual code diff, and, depending on the objective the operator picks up front, either hands off to the native `/code-review high --fix` for the deep correctness pass or runs an adversarial design review of what shipped (overengineering, alternative designs, downstream-hermit impact) sourced from the PRs, issues, and proposals behind…

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

# Pre-Release Review

The gate you run right before `/release <slug>` or `/fleet-release`. It answers two questions the release skills assume are already true:

1. **What is actually shipping?** — the real per-plugin diff since each plugin's last tag, not what you think you changed.
2. **Do the changelogs tell the truth about it?** — every operator-visible change has a CHANGELOG line, and no line over- or under-states what the code does.

Then, depending on the mode picked in Step 0, it either runs the native `/code-review high --fix` as the deep correctness pass over the release window, or an adversarial design review of what shipped (Step 3D).

This is a **read-only audit** for its own steps — it never bumps a version, writes a changelog, commits, or tags. `/code-review --fix` (step 4) is the one part that mutates the working tree, and only to apply review fixes. Releasing stays the operator's explicit call via `/release`.

## Usage

`/pre-release-review [<plugin-slug>...] [<objective>]`

- **No slug** — sweep every plugin under `plugins/*/` that has commits since its own last tag. This is the default and the common case.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gtapps/hermitd/pre-release-review@sha256:bbf8d78f804910e8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.2f2da1b, 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.
