Validate release readiness with evidence-based go/no-go decisions. Covers go/no-go checklists, smoke test suite design, staged rollout validation, rollback criteria and procedures, and post-deployment verification. Ensures release confidence comes from data, not feelings. Use when: "release ready," "go/no-go," "smoke test," "release checklist," "rollback plan," "staged rollout," "canary deploy." Not for: safe-release techniques (flags, canary, dark launch) applied during the rollout itself — use testing-in-production; scheduled probes that run continuously after release — use synthetic-monitoring; designing new tests from prod telemetry — use observability-driven-testing. Related: testing-in-production, qa-metrics, ci-cd-integration, ai-system-testing.
Add to a SourceWeft workspace
- Open the skill in your dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable it for the chats that should use it.
This skill is instructions only: it ships no scripts to execute.
Add to SourceWeftYou will be asked to sign in first, then taken straight to this skill.
Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-petrkindlmann-qa-skills-release-readiness/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install @petrkindlmann/release-readinessAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.

Unit Testing
petrkindlmann
Guides writing effective unit tests in Jest, Vitest and pytest, covering test doubles, coverage gating, snapshots, fake timers and mutation testing.
Test Suite Curation
petrkindlmann
Audit a whole regression suite and prune/restructure it with evidence: per-test coverage fingerprinting, AST near-duplicate clustering, CI-history mining for never-failing and flaky tests, prune decision rules (redundant/obsolete/low-value/keep), smoke/core/extended tiering by risk and defect-detection history, and a defensible "what we deleted and why" record. Deletion is destructive — quarantine and human sign-off are mandatory. Use when: "audit the test suite," "prune redundant tests," "find duplicate tests," "which tests can we delete," "restructure into smoke/core/extended," "is this test pulling its weight," "shrink the regression suite." Not for: Judging whether an individual test is WELL-WRITTEN (smells, assertions) — that is ai-qa-review. Healing one flaky test at runtime — that is test-reliability. Bulk selector regeneration after a UI refactor — that is selector-drift-recovery. Related: ai-qa-review, coverage-analysis, test-reliability, risk-based-testing, qa-project-context.
Test Strategy
petrkindlmann
Produce a multi-quarter QA strategy document. Covers scope, risk-based prioritization, test levels (unit/integration/E2E), pyramid analysis, entry/exit criteria, quality KPIs, tool selection rationale, CI scaling levers, and timeline planning. Output is an actionable strategy document, not a shelf document. Use when: "test strategy," "QA strategy doc," "testing approach," "QA roadmap," "multi-quarter QA direction." Not for: a single-sprint or single-release plan — use test-planning. Not for: identifying which areas carry the most risk — use risk-based-testing first. Related: risk-based-testing, qa-metrics, release-readiness, test-planning, test-reliability.
Test Planning

Builds a one-page sprint or release test plan with coverage mapping, effort estimation, prioritization, allocation, and scheduling.
Test Migration
petrkindlmann
Guides incremental test-suite migration between frameworks, such as Selenium, Cypress, or Jest to Playwright or Vitest, with parallel CI.
