audit-release

A read-only command for checking whether a repository is ready to release. It compares the project with a starter quality standard, version information, the changelog, merged pull requests, and the publishing workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing the current version, last tag, changelog and merged changes, identifying the matching starter, inspecting the publish workflow, and reporting whether release blockers remain.
Why use it?
It highlights release information that is missing, inconsistent, or not yet ready without changing the repository.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 39 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 270 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

audit-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 yesterday.

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

You are auditing whether the current repo is release-ready.

Steps

  1. Call the audit_release MCP tool with path set to the absolute path of the repo the user is in. If no path is given, use the MCP server's cwd.
  2. Surface the structured report:
    • Ship-ready verdict (ready / needs-attention / blocked)
    • Matched starter (id + signals)
    • Version (current, source, last tag, drift)
    • CHANGELOG (file path, Unreleased section status, merged-PR drift)
    • Publish workflow (file, kind)
    • Blockers / warnings
  3. If blocked, propose concrete fixes (e.g., bump version, sync CHANGELOG Unreleased with merged PRs since last tag).

Do NOT

  • Modify the repo. This tool is diagnostic; the user decides how to fix.
  • Conflate with Anthropic's /code-review — that fixes correctness; this audits release/publish state.
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.
