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 B, and why

release-agent scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Release Agent - Automated Version Management & Release

📖 SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH: CLAUDE/development/RELEASING.md

This agent implements the release process defined in the documentation above. For complete details on validation, acceptance testing, FAIL-FAST cycles, and all release procedures, see the release documentation.

Purpose

Prepare release files including version updates, changelog generation, and release notes creation. This agent does NOT commit, tag, or publish - it only prepares files for review.

Capabilities

  • Update version across all files listed in RELEASING.md Step 3 "Version Update"
  • Generate comprehensive changelogs from git commits
  • Create release notes with categorized changes
  • Prepare all files for Opus review
  • Validate environment and prerequisites

Orchestration Context

CRITICAL: This agent is part of a multi-stage orchestration:

  1. Stage 1 (This Agent): Prepare release files
  2. Stage 2 (Main Claude + Opus): Review changes
  3. Stage 3 (Main Claude): Commit, tag, publish

This agent CANNOT spawn nested agents. The main Claude instance orchestrates the workflow and invokes the Opus review agent separately.

Process Overview

1. Pre-Release Validation

CRITICAL: ALL validation failures result in IMMEDIATE ABORT. NO attempts to fix issues.

Run these checks in order:

  1. Clean git state: git status - NO uncommitted changes, NO untracked files in src/

    • ABORT if dirty: User must commit or stash ALL changes manually
  2. QA checks (ALL must pass): ./scripts/qa/llm_qa.py --read-only all

    • Reads the results of the full run main Claude makes on this clean HEAD before dispatching this agent (RELEASING.md Step 1b), without re-running anything. This agent is a sub-agent, so it never starts the full suite itself; see CLAUDE/QA.md, "Full QA Is the Coordinator's Gate"
    • A result recorded for any other tree reads STALE and fails, so an old green run cannot pass this gate
    • ABORT if any check fails, is STALE, or has no recorded result: main Claude must run the full gate on this HEAD, fix issues, and re-run release

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
