Systematic OSS release preparation checklist. Use when preparing a repository for open-source publishing, making a project public, or ensuring a repo meets OSS standards. Triggers: "prepare for OSS", "ready to publish", "make this public", "OSS checklist", "scan repo for publish", "open source this", "/oss-release-prep".
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
# OSS Release Preparation Systematic workflow to prepare a repository for open-source publishing. Covers code quality, licensing, documentation, CI, and release readiness. ## Key Principle: Convention Reuse Before creating any file from scratch, check the user's sibling repositories for existing conventions. Users maintain consistency across their repos — reuse their LICENSE text, .golangci.yml, .gitignore, .github/workflows, .goreleaser.yaml, etc. from a recent, well-maintained repo. **How to find conventions:** 1. Look at sibling directories (e.g., `ls ../`) for other repos by the same user 2. Pick a recently-updated repo with similar characteristics (same language, similar type) 3. Copy config files, adapting only what's project-specific (binary name, module path) ## Step 0: Classify the Project Before starting, determine the project type — this affects which steps apply: | Type | Has `main.go` / binary output | Needs goreleaser | Needs package registry | |------|:---:|:---:|:---:| | **CLI tool / binary** | Yes | Yes | Homebrew tap, etc. | | **Library / module** | No | No | `go get` / npm / PyPI | | **Both** (tool + importable pkg) | Yes | Yes | Both | …

How to install
mdr add jackchuka/skills/gh-oss-release-prep@sha256:ce9b7f5d72309568The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.3cddcb2, 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.
