rforge:release

A command that plans the order for submitting related R packages to CRAN, the central public repository for R software packages. It considers package dependencies, meaning packages that must be available before others can be submitted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a dependency-based CRAN release order, check package readiness, identify blockers, estimate timing, and produce a submission checklist.
Why use it?
It helps avoid submitting packages in an order that is blocked by missing dependencies. It also identifies readiness issues and the work still needed before submission.

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

rforge: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 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.

/rforge:release - CRAN Release Planner

Plan the optimal CRAN submission sequence for your R package ecosystem.

What It Does

Uses the rforge_release_plan MCP tool to:

  • Calculate submission order
  • Identify blockers
  • Check readiness
  • Estimate approval timeline
  • Generate submission checklist

Usage

# Plan release for ecosystem
/rforge:release

# Plan for specific package
/rforge:release medfit

# Detailed release plan
/rforge:release --detailed

Output

Returns release plan with:

  • Submission Order: Dependency-based sequence
  • Readiness Check: Per-package status
  • Blockers: What's preventing releases
  • Timeline: Expected approval dates
  • Checklist: Pre-submission tasks

Examples

Simple Release Plan

🚀 CRAN RELEASE PLAN

Submission Order (by dependency):
1. medfit v2.2.0
   Status: ✅ Ready
   Blockers: None
   Submit: Now

2. probmed v1.5.0
   Status: ⏳ Waiting (needs medfit on CRAN)
   Blockers: medfit not yet approved
   Submit: +2 weeks (after medfit approval)

3. medsim v1.3.0
   Status: ⏳ Waiting
   Submit: +2 weeks

4. mediationverse v1.1.0
   Status: ⏳ Waiting (needs all deps)
   Submit: +4 weeks

Timeline: 4-6 weeks total

Complex Release (With Blockers)

⚠️ CRAN RELEASE PLAN

Submission Order:
1. medfit v2.2.0
   Status: ❌ NOT READY
   Blockers:
     • 3 failing tests
     • NEWS.md incomplete
     • R CMD check has 1 NOTE
   Fix time: ~4 hours

2. probmed v1.5.0
   Status: ✅ Ready (but blocked by medfit)
   Blockers: Waiting for medfit

3-4. [Waiting for previous]

Recommendations:
  1. Fix medfit blockers (4 hours)
  2. Submit medfit
  3. Wait for approval (~2 weeks)
  4. Submit dependents in parallel
  5. Wait for approvals (~2 weeks)
  6. Submit meta-package

Total timeline: 5-7 weeks

Use When

  • Planning major releases
  • Coordinating ecosystem updates
  • Before CRAN submissions
  • Managing versioning strategy
  • /rforge:status - Check readiness
  • /rforge:cascade - Plan updates
  • /rforge:deps - See dependency order

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.
