PRE_RELEASE

A pre-release review command for the branch that combines changes for a software release before it is merged into the main code line. It checks code quality, tests, translations, documentation, acknowledgements, and tester verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before merging a release branch to audit test coverage, translated user-facing text, the tester plan, contributor recognition, preview builds, and issue status.
Why use it?
It gathers the final release checks in one ordered process. Checkpoints give you a chance to review each finding before continuing.

Made for: Claude Code.

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

PRE_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 2d 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 — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/pre_release

Run before merging the active release/X.Y.Z integration branch to main. This is the final gate before the release ships — it confirms code quality, doc currency, test coverage, that every activated language covers the release's user-facing strings and docs, that the tester Test Plan reflects this release's scope, that every code contributor is acknowledged in the project's in-app About and the README, that frequent issue reporters are recognized as testers, and that every issue fixed this cycle is closed (when tester-verified) or explicitly held.

Work through every step in order. After each step, stop at the CHECKPOINT and wait for the user before continuing.

Preflight

  • Confirm the current branch is release/X.Y.Z. If not, abort and ask the user to switch.
  • Confirm working tree is clean (git status --porcelain). If dirty, abort.
  • Confirm VERSION.TXT matches X.Y.Z. If mismatched, surface the discrepancy and ask the user before proceeding.

CHECKPOINT — preflight confirms release branch is ready for audit. Proceed? Wait for the user.

1. Test coverage check

Follow the procedure in .claude/commands/test_coverage_check.md. Present findings grouped by severity (Critical / Major / Minor) and end with the verdict line.

CHECKPOINT — ready for the next check? Wait for the user.

2. UI / docs / tutorial sync check

Follow the procedure in .claude/commands/docs_sync_check.md. Present findings grouped by severity and end with the verdict line.

CHECKPOINT — ready for the next check? Wait for the user.

3. Language support check

Follow the procedure in .claude/commands/language_support_check.md. Present findings grouped by severity and end with the verdict line.

This is the pre-release docs-sync moment the translation policy points at: with the user's approval at this step's checkpoint, AI backfill of missing translations is in scope here (fill at only, never touch a non-empty ht, record the work per languages/TRANSLATIONS.md). New strings that landed this cycle in english/ui.json only are exactly what this step exists to catch.

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.

PRE_RELEASE is a command published in the GitHub repository Osiris-DevWorks/smart-citizen (99 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 3,795 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
