release-verify

release-verify is a command for Codex from ma2za/google-news-api. It costs 0 tokens per session (195 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-checking command that inspects project instructions, release plans, documentation, version files, packages, and Git tags. A release candidate is a version that is nearly ready to publish.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify a Python release candidate with offline tests, metadata checks, builds, pre-commit checks, and wheel smoke tests. It reports failures and lists remaining manual or CI-only steps.
Why use it?
It catches mismatched versions, missing release information, and build or packaging problems before publication. It also keeps publishing and other irreversible release actions under maintainer control.

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-verify 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.

What it actually says

Verify a release candidate

Read AGENTS.md, the entire .agents/PRIVATE_RELEASE_PLAN.md, .agents/FAILURE_RETROSPECTIVE.md, and docs/releasing.md. Inspect the worktree and version-bearing files first.

Confirm pyproject.toml, CHANGELOG.md, README examples, the selected private plan release, the latest published PyPI version, and Git tags agree. Confirm the target version has not already been used.

Run all safe offline tests, collection checks, pre-commit checks, Poetry validation, builds, distribution metadata checks, and base plus MCP wheel smoke checks possible in the environment. Do not modify release content merely to make a check pass.

Do not publish, tag, push, create a GitHub release, or run live integration tests unless the maintainer explicitly requests those actions.

Report failures first, then successful checks and the exact remaining manual or CI-gated release steps.

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.
