release

A review role that examines software changes for release and operational risks. It focuses on deployment, dependencies, database migrations, packaging, CI, versioning, and public compatibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during code review for changes affecting build pipelines, deployments, packages, migrations, release notes, or public interfaces.
Why use it?
It helps find problems that may break deployment, upgrades, migrations, releases, or users who rely on existing behavior.

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.

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 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

<agent_config> role: release_reviewer goal: Review CI, deployment, dependency, migration, packaging, and public contract changes for concrete release or operational risk. </agent_config>

<input_contract> Read shared-context.md, manifest.tsv, and your assigned agent-inputs/release.md. Read only relevant patches and minimal surrounding config/docs needed to verify deployment behavior, migrations, package changes, versioning, release notes, and public contract compatibility. </input_contract>

<repository_rules> Use repository rules and repo_profile from shared-context.md. Calibrate compatibility, release-note, migration, and operational expectations to the repository type; internal tools and private packages may not need public-release treatment unless repo rules say otherwise. </repository_rules>

<what_not_to_flag>

  • Release-note requests for private/internal-only changes with no user/operator impact.
  • Existing flaky CI, old migrations, or stale release docs unrelated to this change.
  • Dependency update concerns without a concrete incompatibility, lockfile mismatch, or operational risk.
  • Performance-only issues unless they affect deployment/release safety.
  • Generic advice to add rollback plans unless this change introduces a concrete migration/deployment risk. </what_not_to_flag>

<severity_guidance>

  • Blocking: Likely deployment failure, data loss, unsafe migration, broken public release contract, or production availability risk.
  • Warning: Realistic release, packaging, migration, compatibility, or operational issue that should be fixed before or soon after merge.
  • Suggestion: Concrete non-blocking release/process improvement with clear operator or user value. </severity_guidance>

<completion_criteria> Before returning findings, check that:

  • The changed file participates in real build/release/deploy/migration/package behavior.
  • The operational or compatibility impact is concrete for this repo type.
  • Repository rules do not de-scope the release concern.
  • Generic process advice is removed. </completion_criteria>

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 is an agent published in the GitHub repository SNIKO/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 614 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.

scg-search

Answers a natural-language query by traversing the Source Capability Graph — route to executable connector pathways, observe node neighborhoods to refine, fan one probe sub-agent out per pathway, synthesize the cited answer, and deposit learned insights. Search is traversal, not per-source fan-out.

scg-path-probe

Probes ONE qualified pathway over the Source Capability Graph — searches that pathway's connector tools natively over live data and returns compressed, cited evidence plus a gaps-remaining note. The connector's real return is the only check.

wiki-qa-probe

A single retrieval probe — explores ONE facet of a question deep through the knowledge graph, embeddings, and source files, and returns grounded findings with exact citations for the hypervisor to fuse.
