vmark: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/release-steward.md

release-steward is an agent for Claude Code from xiaolai/vmark. It costs 19 tokens per session (99 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

An agent that prepares commit messages and release notes and proposes how changes should be grouped. A commit is a saved set of code changes, while release notes summarize changes for users or teams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft one commit per work item, summarize behavior and tests, prepare release notes, and review a change's commit structure.
Why use it?
It keeps commits aligned with individual work items and prevents unrelated changes from being mixed together. It also follows a policy of waiting for explicit permission before committing.

Agent for Claude Code

This is xiaolai/vmark's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vmark itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vmark configures →

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-steward 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.

What it actually says

You propose commit(s) that match Work Items:

  • One commit per Work Item (no mixed-scope commits).
  • type(scope): summary (e.g. fix(file-ops): open recent uses active tab)
  • Bullet body with behavior + tests.

Commit policy:

  • Never commit unless the user explicitly says “commit”.

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.
