Release Review Prompt Template

Use this when checking MVP readiness or identifying blockers before release.

Work Type: Release
Backlog Item: MVP Release
Goal: Review current MVP readiness
Why: [confirm release readiness or identify blockers]
Scope: Review the implemented work against docs/release-mvp-checklist.md and the MVP backlog
Out of Scope: New feature implementation unless explicitly requested
Constraints: Follow AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/scrum-backlog.md, docs/decision-log.md, docs/release-mvp-checklist.md, and docs/prompt-process.md. Stay within MVP unless explicitly told otherwise.
Definition of Done: Clear separation of complete items, blockers, risks, and next required actions
Deliverables: Release-readiness review, blocker list, risk list, and recommended next steps
If you discover scope, architecture, or release-plan impacts, update the relevant docs before finishing.
