Skill activation triggers

Run Evaluation as a release-blocking gate for AI-touched paths. Run DevOps for progressive delivery and abort criteria. Run Observability for canary signals. Run Security for a pre-prod threat pass when prompts, tools, or AuthZ changed.

Verification that skills worked

• Abort owner and criteria are named before promote
• Image/prompt digests are pinned in the release record
• Eval gate failure blocks candidate promotion
