release-manager

release-manager is an agent for Claude Code from nolabs-ai/claude-extensions. It costs 54 tokens per session (737 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-release helper for version numbers, changelogs, tags, release builds, and release notes. A changelog is a dated record of what changed between versions, while semantic versioning uses major, minor, and patch numbers to describe the kind of change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review changes, prepare changelogs, bump versions, create Git tags, run release tests, prepare GitHub releases, publish packages, and write release announcements.
Why use it?
It organizes the steps around releasing software and helps choose an appropriate version number and document the changes.

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 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.

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.
