release-adr-kit

release-adr-kit is a command for Claude Code from rvdbreemen/adr-kit. It costs 0 tokens per session (780 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for releasing a new version of adr-kit, using a version number you provide. It follows the project's documented release process and pauses for release notes before publishing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update the release task, bump versions, regenerate client adapters, and prepare release notes for a GitHub release.
Why use it?
It replaces a long sequence of manual release steps with the project's release script, reducing missed or inconsistent steps.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/release.py X.Y.Z.

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-adr-kit 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 7d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are running the adr-kit release for version $ARGUMENTS (if empty, ask which version to release).

Since ADR-042 this is one command. scripts/release.py drives every step of docs/RELEASING.md, and docs/RELEASING.md remains the specification it implements. Do not perform the steps by hand while the driver exists: a second hand-run path is how the two drift apart, and every failure this decision was written about came from a mechanical step performed by a person.

1. Open a backlog task

Search for an existing release task; create one if there is none, and set it In Progress. Record the version and why it is a major, minor or patch bump. A behaviour change a consumer can observe is a minor bump even when it is filed as a bug fix.

2. Write the release notes first

Run the driver once:

python scripts/release.py X.Y.Z

It bumps every version site through the registry, regenerates the client adapters, and then stops, because the CHANGELOG section it created is still a placeholder. That stop is deliberate: release-publish.yml publishes that section verbatim as the GitHub Release body, so it has to read as the announcement rather than as a commit log.

Write it under ## [X.Y.Z]: group under ### Added / ### Changed / ### Fixed / ### Removed, name the user-facing impact, and call out upgrade steps and breaking changes explicitly. Keep a Changelog, no emoji.

Update README.md where this release adds, changes or removes a user-facing capability. The version pins move themselves; what needs judgement is whether the README still describes what ships.

3. Run it again, and keep running it

python scripts/release.py X.Y.Z

It verifies the gates, opens the pull request into main with auto-merge, waits for the merge, checks that the tag the workflow created resolves to origin/main, opens the sync-back pull request into dev, and advances this machine's prepared-directory marketplace.

Safe to re-run at any point. Each phase asks the repository whether its work is already done, so an interrupted release is resumed, not restarted. Use --status to see what is left without changing anything, and --skip-tests when CI is the run you are relying on.

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.
