release

A release checklist and controller for preparing a version tag. It checks version files, the changelog, the Git working tree, release gates, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and verify a release, update the changelog and version references, rebuild distribution files, and confirm the project is ready to tag.
Why use it?
It gathers common release failures in one run, so problems are found before a tag is created or published. It also checks that built files and their checksums match.

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

The user invoked /procoder:release with arguments: $ARGUMENTS

The command below is the procoder binary on PATH.

  1. Run procoder release <version> (or bare procoder release to check the newest changelog version). The controller verifies in one pass: every file in [release] files carries the version, the changelog has its entry, the working tree is clean, the gate is clean, and the suite is green under [test] policy.
  2. Before the first fix, run /procoder:simplify over the whole repo (repo): take the cuts you agree with, say why not for the rest.
  3. Rebuild the committed binaries with scripts/build-dist.sh whenever this release changes the binary. It writes dist/ and dist/SHA256SUMS together, which is the point: the workflow publishes that file beside the assets, self-upgrade verifies every download against it, and a release whose checksums describe the previous build is one nobody can upgrade to. A test compares the file against the committed binaries, so a hand-built dist/ goes red before the tag.
  4. Fix everything the release controller listed — bump the files, write the changelog entry, commit — then rerun procoder release until it answers ready. The entry's layout is not free-form: CHANGELOG.md opens with the template, and the release job publishes the entry verbatim as the GitHub Release notes, so what you write there is what someone downloading the binary reads. A one-sentence italic summary first, then headlines that open with their kind — Added, Fixed, Changed, Removed, Security — each linking its issue, worst breakage first. A test over the newest entry holds the shape.
  5. When the release controller answers ready it prints the tag command; run that command yourself and push the tag. The binary never tags (P-CONTROL).
  6. A repo without [release] files in .procoder/config.toml gets an honest "verified nothing" on the version-sync leg — set the list so the check has teeth.

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 a command published in the GitHub repository azrtydxb/procoder (196 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 519 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
