release

A release command that reviews changes since the previous version and prepares the next software release. A release is a published version of a project for users or other developers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect Git history, update version files and documentation, refresh test and command counts, update the change log, and commit the release.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of choosing a version number, updating the change log, refreshing project statistics, and preparing the release commit. By default, it uses a patch-level version increase.

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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to release — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

body

Analyze all changes since the last release and prepare a new version.

Steps:

  1. Find the last release tag: git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "none"
  2. If there's a previous tag, review changes: git log <tag>..HEAD --oneline and git diff <tag>..HEAD
  3. Determine the version bump level. Always use patch unless the user explicitly requests minor or major.
  4. Bump version in both package.json and src/index.ts using bun run version:bump <level>
  5. Update CHANGELOG.md — move items from [Unreleased] to the new version section with today's date
  6. Update CLAUDE.md if command counts or structure changed
  7. Update README.md:
    • Update test count and file count in the Development section (run bun test to get current numbers)
    • Update CLI reference tables if commands were added, removed, or had flags changed
    • Update command count in Project Structure section if commands were added or removed
    • Update any other stats or structural information that changed
  8. Commit all changes with a message like "release: vX.Y.Z". Then present a summary of what changed.
Changes

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.
