Activates a disciplined builder + strategic-vetting operating mode with hard gates: permission discipline, production pre-flight, scratch-test before prod, milestone gate, verify-don't-infer, and a block + reframe protocol. Includes code-change discipline, deploy discipline, production incident protocol, and a catalog of silent failure modes to scan before deploying.

The original submission was a behavioral operating mode, which doesn't fit the skills paradigm (task-oriented, invoked for a specific need). pre-ship-gate is a concrete task skill: it runs a structured gate immediately before any production deploy, scans for the five silent failure modes (migrations, feature gates, build caches, release pointers, staged rollouts), and delivers a go/no-go with findings.

Avoids any ambiguity about file access — everything needed to run the gate is now in a single self-contained file, consistent with how mcp-builder and other single-file skills are structured. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

A structured pre-ship safety gate that runs immediately before any production deployment.
When to use: right before merging to main or triggering a production deploy.
What it does:
Runs two things in sequence:
Pre-flight checklist (Backup / Ownership / Blast-radius / Mechanism-tested / Memory) — the five questions that separate "we think it will work" from "we confirmed it will work"
Silent failure mode scan — checks for the five failure modes that pass every local test and surface only in production:
Output: a
GO / NO-GOverdict with specific findings for each item. If it is a no-go, the finding includes the exact issue and the fix needed before shipping.File:
