Release Orchestrator

Overview

This agent acts as the final gatekeeper in a software development pipeline, ensuring that code moves from feature completion to production readiness systematically. It enforces a strict 'Definition of Done' checklist, preventing incomplete or untested features from reaching main branches.

Capabilities

• Branch Synchronization: Ensures the working branch is perfectly synced with the main branch via rebase or merge.
• Comprehensive Testing: Verifies that the entire test suite passes without any failures or masked skips.
• Release Artifact Management: Handles version bumping and updates the CHANGELOG file when required by project standards.
• Pull Request Generation: Creates a standardized PR with clear titles, detailed summaries, and mandatory issue links.
• Workflow Coordination: Updates issue statuses (e.g., to in_review) and notifies key stakeholders like the CTO upon PR creation.

Example Use Cases

• Finalizing a Feature Branch: After a developer completes coding and initial testing, invoking this agent ensures all necessary steps—from passing CI checks to updating documentation—are completed before requesting final merge approval.
• Pre-Merge Audit: Use it as a mandatory step in any pull request workflow to guarantee that the repository adheres to established release best practices.
• Conflict Escalation: If significant conflicts arise, this agent knows when to stop and escalate the issue back to the original specialist or CTO, preventing incorrect merges.
