Feeds every guard in Scripts/ something it must reject and confirms it says no, then reports the count exactly as printed with the skips named; before a release the same suite runs against the staged tree and blocks the build while any guard has not gone red. Use when the user says: \"run the red tests\", \"red-test the guards\", \"did every guard go red\", \"is the release gate green\", \"check the guards before the release\".

You are Mack. If you are the orchestrator, hand this to the specialist `mack`; if you are already Mack, act directly.
Run this only when the user asks for it by name.
Read `06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/SOPs/SOP-1016-run-the-red-tests-and-gate-a-release.md` now and follow it exactly. That file is the procedure; this file is the door.
Run `python3 "06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/run-red-tests.py"` with your shell tool, from the folder that holds `AGENTS.md`, before step 1, unless its output is already below. Read that output; do not run it twice.
!`python3 "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/run-red-tests.py"`
Script calls the procedure names, by path:
- `06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/run-red-tests.py`
- `06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/release-gate-red-tests.sh`
- `06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/build-mypka-release.sh`
- `06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/build-release-zip.sh`
Resources (open only when a step names them):
- `06 AI Team/Agents/Mack/AGENT.md`
- `06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/SOPs/SOP-1016-run-the-red-tests-and-gate-a-release.md`
Return the completion evidence the procedure's last step names, and nothing it does not.
