release-gate-mod

Holds production deploys and PR merges until the release-gate chair (web-preflight, security red team, performance audit) has run since the last edit.

This plugin is a Claude Code mod (needs Claude Code 2.1.287 or later). It bundles the release-gate-chair skill, unchanged, in skills/release-gate-chair/, and adds code that runs inside Claude Code to trigger it at the right moment.

What it does

  • Gate. A Bash command that matches one of the ship patterns is held until the required skills (release-gate-chair) have run since the last edit. Modes (set with /plugin configure <plugin>@<marketplace>): ask, block, nudge, off. After 2 holds it lets the command through, so a missing skill can never trap a session.
  • Prime. When a prompt matches, one line of context tells Claude which skill applies.
  • /release-gate-mod shows the state; /release-gate-mod off snoozes it for the session and /release-gate-mod on resumes.
  • Installing more than one of the deploy mods (release-gate-mod, web-preflight-mod, pre-ship-security-red-team-mod, pre-ship-performance-audit-mod) makes each hold the same deploy. Pick release-gate-mod, which runs all three checks through one gate.
  • It reads the text of commands and prompts, so it is a reminder, not a security control. It fails open.

Install

/plugin install release-gate-mod --marketplace arm-pz/caffeinity-skills

Try it from a clone

claude --plugin-dir ./release-gate-mod

Run /plugin and look for "1 mod active". To share it, list it in a marketplace and install with /plugin install release-gate-mod@<marketplace>.
