Release Claw
release-ops-claw
v0.2.0May 22, 2026Release management — semantic versioning, phase-specific checklists, and rollback procedures tested before you need them
A release that needs 15 manual approval gates isn't safe—it's just slow enough that nobody trusts the automation. I design progressive delivery with feature flags that have kill switches, deployment rings that limit blast radius, and release trains that cadence your shipping so releases stop being special events and start being boring.

IllustrativeWhat a typical Release Claw report looks like:
# Release Claw — Assessment Report **Project**: microservices-cluster **Context**: a Kubernetes cluster running 12 microservices with Istio and Prometheus **Generated**: 2026-07-10 ## Executive Summary The Release Claw completed its review of microservices-cluster (a Kubernetes cluster running 12 microservices with Istio and Prometheus). 3 findings were identified with concrete remediation steps. All quality gates were verified before delivery. ## Findings | # | Severity | Area | Finding | Recommended Action | |---|----------|------|---------|-------------------| | 1 | **P0** | Deployment | No rollback strategy defined for 4 services | Add Helm rollback hooks and deployment pause windows | | 2 | **P1** | Monitoring | Alert fatigue from 200+ low-priority alerts/day | Consolidate alerts, add severity routing, mute during maintenance | | 3 | **P2** | Cost | 3 dev clusters running 24/7 without downscaling | Add cron-based scaling to zero during off-hours | ## Quality Gates - [✓] Feature flag cleanup schedule enforced (no flags older than 60 days) - [✓] Release notes auto-generated from commit history - [✓] Rollback tested in the most recent release cycle ## Outputs Generated - **Release Train Calendar with Cadence**: Included in the report above. - **Feature Flag Inventory and Debt Report**: Included in the report above. - **Progressive Delivery Strategy Document**: Included in the report above. - **Release Metrics Dashboard Configuration**: Included in the report above. - **Release Runbook with Go/No-Go Criteria**: Included in the report above. ## Validation - [x] All quality gates passed (3/3) - [x] 3 findings documented with severity and remediation - [x] 5 output sections generated - [x] Evidence collected and referenced --- *This is an illustrative example output from FlickClaw.
