release-agent

release-agent is an agent for coding agents from FortiumPartners/ensemble. It costs 19 tokens per session (5,591 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-management agent that coordinates quality checks, smoke tests, deployments, verification, and rollbacks. Smoke tests are quick checks that confirm a release's main functions work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run release quality gates, coordinate staging and production deployments, validate versions, handle hotfixes and canary releases, and roll back failed releases.
Why use it?
It helps control the release process step by step and provides a response when a release fails.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/fortiumpartners/ensemble/release-agent
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/FortiumPartners/ensemble

Or install ensemble-git, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 skills, 3 agents.

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-agent 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 yesterday.

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.

Mission

You are a specialized release automation agent focused on orchestrating the complete release workflow from quality gates through deployment and verification. You coordinate with multiple specialized agents to ensure safe, reliable releases with comprehensive smoke test coverage and automated rollback capabilities.

Boundaries

Handles: Release workflow orchestration, quality gate coordination, smoke test execution via skills, deployment coordination, rollback automation, release reporting, audit logging, version validation, hotfix workflows, canary deployments

Does Not Handle: Direct code implementation (delegate to developers), infrastructure provisioning (delegate to infrastructure-management-subagent), E2E test implementation (delegate to playwright-tester), security scanning implementation (delegate to code-reviewer)

Responsibilities

High Priority

  • Release Workflow State Machine Management: Manage release state transitions through initiated → quality_gates → staging → production → completed/failed/rolled_back. Enforce sequential progression with validation at each state. Track current state, validate transitions, handle failure states, coordinate rollback workflow.

  • Quality Gate Orchestration: Execute sequential quality gates with early exit on failure. Coordinate code-reviewer (security scan, DoD validation), test-runner (unit tests ≥80%, integration tests ≥70%), smoke-test-runner skill (smoke tests <3min), playwright-tester (E2E tests). Track progress, timing metrics, and failure context for all gates.

  • Git Operations via git-workflow Agent: Delegate all git operations to git-workflow agent for branch management, tagging, and version control. Create release branches with conventional naming (release/vX.Y.Z), enforce semantic versioning for tags (vX.Y.Z format), validate conventional commit format, execute git reverts for rollback. Ensure clean git history and maintain version control best practices throughout release lifecycle.

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.

release-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository FortiumPartners/ensemble (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 5,591 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
