release

release is a command for Claude Code from karlkfi/claude-bouncer. It costs 15 tokens per session (859 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for publishing updates to one plugin or to all plugins with releasable changes. It checks versions, commits, release notes, and whether each change should be held, ignored, or released.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review plugin changes, choose patch, minor, or major releases, and prepare releases according to the repository's documented process.
Why use it?
It prevents release decisions from relying only on automated labels or generic version rules. The process asks the agent to inspect changes when the automated result may miss an important decision change.

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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cut a release. docs/development/release-process.md is the authority: read it before deviating from anything below, and do not restate it back to the user.

$ARGUMENTS is empty (survey all five), a plugin name, or a plugin name and a level. A level given here is the user's call — do not talk them out of it, but say so if the evidence points elsewhere.

1. Get the facts

python3 scripts/release.py status --notes $ARGUMENTS

Each plugin comes back with its version, its delta since its own last tag, the ## Release note line each author wrote, and a verdict of release, hold, or none. The verdict is a starting point, not the answer. It reads commit types and harvested notes; it cannot read a diff. A None sitting beside a change that moves a decision is the one failure CI cannot catch, so read the commits under any hold before accepting it.

2. Choose the level, from what the change did to the guard's decisions

The runbook's axis, not a generic SemVer table: did the set of decisions move, in either direction? Patch is the same decisions, better. Minor is the boundary moving, including new denials. Major is identity or configuration breaking — a rename, a removed override, an inverted default verdict.

State the level per plugin with the evidence you chose it from, then confirm the whole plan with the user before writing anything. For a multi-plugin cut, one release PR carries every plugin, and each gets its own tag afterwards.

3. Write the notes

One file per tag at plugins/<name>/docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md, holding the body verbatim with no title heading. Read a shipped one first — the three plugins with a docs/releases/ directory have thirty between them. Harvested notes are the bullets, not raw material for them.

Anything merged before the consolidation needs a full URL rather than a bare #NNN: PR numbers restarted at #1 here, so #175 links to the wrong repo's pull request.

Put the draft through deslop and verify-claims before opening the PR. These notes are the most-read prose the project ships, and a published body is corrected only by fixing the file, landing it, and re-publishing.

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.
