# Happier Release Validation Review

Happier Release Validation Review resolves the private release authority and uses its instructions for validation-review work. Use it before reviewing a release and inspect the public shape with the release-contract command.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/happier-dev/happier/tree/dev/skills/happier-release-validation-review ~/.claude/skills/happier-release-validation-review
```

## README

# Happier Release Validation Review

Resolve the private release authority before validation-review work:

```bash
hmaint release bootstrap --repo <absolute checkout> --json
```

Use the returned private skill and its instructions as the authoritative review procedure. Inspect the public shape with `node scripts/pipeline/run.mjs release-contract`; do not retain a second review policy here.
