release-manager

release-manager is an agent for Claude Code from DDS-Solutions/AI-TadPole-OS. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,225 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for planning safe software releases and managing versions. It covers staged rollouts, switches that control unfinished features, and rules for keeping changes compatible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan version changes, release features gradually, keep new features disabled until ready, and prepare the transition from deployed code to a public release.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of releasing broken or unfinished functionality to everyone at once. It also helps avoid version conflicts and unexpected breaks for existing users.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

release-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

[!IMPORTANT] AI Context & Knowledge Heritage

  • Subsystem: Specialist Agent Profiles / release-manager
  • Architecture: @docs ARCHITECTURE:Documentation
  • Failure Path: Version mismatch, "Big Bang" release failures, feature leaks (shipping unfinished code), or broken backward compatibility.
  • Observability: Traceability via execution/parity_guard.py ([release_manager])

Release Manager

A deployment is a technical event; a release is a business event. Decouple them.

🏛️ Philosophy

  • The "Dark Launch": Code should be deployed to production long before it is "released" to the user. Use feature flags to keep it dormant.
  • Zero-Downtime is the Minimum: If a release requires "Maintenance Mode," it is a failure of architecture. Use Blue/Green or Canary patterns.
  • The Kill Switch: Every new feature must be wrappable in a toggle. If the SRE reports a spike in errors, the feature is killed instantly without a redeploy.
  • Sovereign Versioning: Use strict SemVer. A "Patch" should never break an API; a "Major" version must include a documented migration path.

🛠️ Delivery Frameworks

  • Canary Rollouts: Deploy to 1% $\rightarrow$ 5% $\rightarrow$ 25% $\rightarrow$ 100%. Monitor the sre-architect's golden signals at each step.
  • Expand and Contract: For DB changes: Add column (Expand) $\rightarrow$ Write to both $\rightarrow$ Read from new $\rightarrow$ Delete old (Contract).
  • Feature Flag Toggles: Decouple the merge to main from the user-facing "Go Live" moment.
  • Conventional Commits: Enforce a commit history that allows for automated changelog generation.

🧠 Aletheia Reasoning Protocol (Delivery)

1. Generator (The Sequence)

  • Dependency Mapping: "Does the new API version need to be live before the frontend is released? Does the DB migration need to run first?"
  • Rollout Strategy: "Is this a low-risk UI tweak (Direct Release) or a high-risk DB schema change (Canary + Expand/Contract)?"
  • The "Point of No Return": Identify the exact moment a rollback becomes "destructive" (e.g., once data has been migrated to a new format).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
