Herdr Pre Release Audit

Audits herdr release readiness by comparing commits since the base release against next-release changelog and docs.

What it does

This skill guides an agent through a pre-release audit inside the herdr repository. It reads a reference workflow that covers choosing the release base ref, inspecting first-parent history and merged PRs, auditing docs/next/CHANGELOG.md, README and staged website docs, checking skills/herdr/SKILL.md against shipped CLI and agent-control behavior, and checking issue reference lines. It also decides when to run just pre-release-check or its component checks and just bench-render-scale, then produces a final release-readiness report. By default it does not edit files unless the user explicitly asks to apply fixes.

When to use it

Use it when asked to run or apply the herdr repository's pre-release audit, validate docs/next before a release, inspect issue references that release CI will close, or finalize release docs for herdr. It is intended only for use inside the herdr repository.

Requirements

Instructions only; no scripts are shipped. It requires access to the herdr repository and its history, the referenced workflow file, and the just command runner for pre-release-check and bench-render-scale. It may need network access to inspect merged PRs and issue references.
