Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned openai/openai-agents-python at e6c680672c.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
The Final Release Review skill automates checks for release candidates, ensuring deployment readiness and identifying potential issues before a production launch. It fetches remote tags, compares changes between a previous release tag (BASE_TAG) and the latest commit (TARGET), and analyzes this diff for breaking changes, regressions, bugs, or risks. The goal is to provide a stable and actionable review that avoids false positives when blocking a release.
When to use it
- Validating a new release candidate before production deployment.
- Inspecting changes between the previous released version and the latest commit on
origin/main. - Identifying potential breaking changes, regressions, or security vulnerabilities introduced in the new release.
- Ensuring that all necessary checks are completed before approving a release for shipment.
Key capabilities
- Fetches remote tags to identify the BASE_TAG (previous release).
- Compares code changes between BASE_TAG and TARGET commit using
git diffandgit log. - Analyzes changes for breaking changes, regressions, data loss, or security impacts.
- Provides a deterministic gate policy: GREEN LIGHT TO SHIP unless specific blocking triggers are met.
- Requires concrete evidence and actionable steps to issue a BLOCKED call.
Example prompts
- "Run the final release review on the latest commit."
- "Perform a final release check comparing tag v1.0.0 with origin/main."
- "Review changes between the previous release and the current version, focusing on potential security risks."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure the repository is at the root directory:
path-to-workspace/openai-agents-python. - The skill assumes that the target commit (
origin/main) has already passed code change verification in CI. - Avoid issuing a BLOCKED call without concrete evidence and clear unblock actions; prioritize GREEN LIGHT TO SHIP with targeted validation follow-ups when evidence is incomplete.
