When NOT To Use
- Measuring delivery performance (use
minister:dora-metrics) - PR-level quality gates before merge (use
sanctum:pr-prep)
Purpose
Standardize release approvals by expressing gates as GitHub-aware checklists. Ensure code, docs, comms, and observability items are green before deployment.
Gate Categories
- Scope & Risk – Are all blocking issues closed or deferred with owners?
- Quality Signals – Are required checks, tests, and soak times satisfied?
- Comms & Docs – Are docs merged and release notes posted?
- Operations – Are runbooks, oncall sign-off, and rollback plans ready?
Workflow
- Load skill to access gate modules.
- Attach Release Gate section to deployment PR.
- Use tracker data to auto-fill blockers and highlight overdue tasks.
- Update comment as gates turn green; require approvals for any waivers.
Outputs
- Release Gate markdown snippet (embed in PR/issue).
- QA Handshake summary referencing GitHub Checks.
- Rollout scorecard that persists in tracker data for retros.
Exit Criteria
- All release gates evaluated and documented.
- Any blocking gates have waiver approvals recorded.
- Deployment PR contains embedded Release Gate snippet.
- Rollout scorecard saved for post-release retrospective.

Workflow automation is the infrastructure that makes AI agents reliable. Without durable execution, a network hiccup during a 10-step payment flow means lost money and angry customers. With it, workflows resume exactly where they left off. This skill covers the platforms (n8n, Temporal, Inngest) and patterns (sequential, parallel, orchestrator-worker) that turn brittle scripts into production-grade automation. Key insight: The platforms make different tradeoffs. n8n optimizes for accessibility

Search across company knowledge bases (Confluence, Jira, internal docs) to find and explain internal concepts, processes, and technical details. When an agent needs to: (1) Find or search for information about systems, terminology, processes, deployment, authentication, infrastructure, architecture, or technical concepts, (2) Search internal documentation, knowledge base, company docs, or our docs, (3) Explain what something is, how it works, or look up information, or (4) Synthesize information from multiple sources.
