explore-release

explore-release is a command for coding agents from juan294/cc-rpi. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-testing command that uses independent agents to explore a fixed deployed version of software for interaction and recovery problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps test a release candidate through exploratory scenarios and supplies evidence for the release decision, without creating the release tag.
Why use it?
It can find failures that predictable automated test suites may miss before a release is approved.

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

explore-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 4d 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.

Exploratory Release Charters

Model tier: opus — Opus session for the orchestrator. Charter agents run as parallel general-purpose background Tasks; tier them by cost (sonnet is usually sufficient for a single charter's execution).

Independent, fresh-context exploratory testing of a fixed release candidate. This is Wave B of the E2E Pro release-verification system (templates/e2e-pro-playbook-template.md) — the cheap, high-yield layer that targets interaction and recovery failures deterministic suites miss.

It complements, and does not replace:

  • /pre-launch + /remediate — static, code-as-written audit. Charters exercise the deployed candidate's behavior instead.
  • /release — the tagging authority. Charters feed evidence into the release gate; they never tag.

Read templates/e2e-pro-playbook-template.md Section 6 (Wave B) for the full decision detail. This command is the executable protocol.

Input

/explore-release <LAST_RELEASE_REF> <CANDIDATE_SHA_OR_DIGEST>

If arguments are omitted, infer <LAST_RELEASE_REF> from the last release tag and <CANDIDATE_SHA> from the fixed candidate under release. Confirm both with the user before spawning agents — a charter run against the wrong candidate is wasted.

Step 1: Fix the candidate and read the diff

  1. Confirm the candidate is immutable (a specific SHA, tag, or artifact digest), not a moving branch. Stop if it is mutable (playbook D06).

  2. Compute the change surface:

    git log --oneline <LAST_RELEASE_REF>..<CANDIDATE_SHA>
    git diff --stat <LAST_RELEASE_REF>..<CANDIDATE_SHA>
    
  3. Map changed paths to user-facing capabilities, actors, surfaces, states, and external seams. Do not trust stale docs — inspect the actual routes, jobs, and providers touched.

Step 2: Generate charters

Size the charter set to the diff — do not pad the count:

  • tiny, isolated diff → 1 charter;
  • normal release → 2–4 charters;
  • more only for distinct high-risk capability groups.

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.

explore-release is a command published in the GitHub repository juan294/cc-rpi (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,329 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.
