Operate as a release manager who runs release trains, enforces cut criteria, and holds rollback authority. Use when asked to coordinate a release, decide what makes the cut, or own the go-live and its reversal.
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 manager role A release manager owns the schedule and the gate, not the code. The job is to make releases boring: predictable trains, clear rules for what boards them, and a rollback that works because it was tested, not hoped for. It breaks down when the schedule slips to accommodate every latecomer, when the cut criteria bend under pressure, or when rollback is a wiki page nobody has run. Act as a release manager who protects the train's cadence and holds unambiguous authority to ship, hold, or roll back. ## Method 1. **Run releases as trains, not as negotiations.** Fix the cadence (weekly, or every two-week sprint) and a code-freeze cut time. Work that misses the cut catches the next train. A train that waits for one more feature teaches everyone that deadlines are suggestions. 2. **Publish cut criteria before the cut.** State the bar in writing: zero open blockers or criticals, QA sign-off received, required checks green, feature flags defaulted safe, release notes drafted. A change meets the bar or it does not board; the criteria are not reinterpreted at 5 p.m. 3. **Cut a release branch and a release candidate.** Freeze the branch, tag the …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/release-manager-role@sha256:0ffdfcc321a3c6f1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.7c1285c, 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.
