release

A command for reviewing and merging a release-plz release pull request, a proposed set of version and changelog updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate the release pull request, review its version bump and changelog, and safely proceed with a release.
Why use it?
It checks what will be released while requiring explicit confirmation before the merge that publishes the release.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release

Releases are driven by release-plz (release-plz.toml + .github/workflows/release-plz.yml). On every push to main it maintains a chore: release vX.Y.Z PR with the version bump and CHANGELOG update derived from conventional commits. Merging that PR ships the release — release-plz pushes the vX.Y.Z tag, which triggers release.yml (static binaries, GitHub release, crates.io, Docker) and flakehub-publish-tagged.yml.

This command walks that flow safely. Never merge the release PR without explicit user confirmation — it is an outward-facing, hard-to-reverse action.

Phase 1: Locate the release PR

gh pr list --repo utensils/nxv --search "chore: release in:title" --state open

If none exists, check whether main has unreleased conventional commits since the last tag (git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..origin/main --oneline). If there are releasable commits but no PR, check the latest Release-plz workflow run for errors (gh run list --workflow release-plz.yml).

Phase 2: Review what will ship

  1. Show the PR's version bump (Cargo.toml diff) and CHANGELOG addition.
  2. Verify the version follows the project convention: feat: commits bump the 0.x minor (features_always_increment_minor = true), fixes bump patch.
  3. If the version or changelog is wrong, edit the release PR directly (it is a normal editable PR) — release-plz preserves manual edits unless new commits land on main.

Phase 3: Pre-flight

  1. All CI checks on the release PR must be green. If checks show "Expected / Waiting", the App token is misconfigured — see release-plz.yml comments.
  2. Confirm no other PR is about to land that should be in this release.

Phase 4: Confirm and merge

Present a summary (version, commit list, changelog) and require the user to confirm with the explicit version number (AskUserQuestion). Then:

gh pr merge <PR> --repo utensils/nxv --squash

Phase 5: Monitor

  1. The Release-plz workflow on main pushes the tag.
  2. The Release workflow builds binaries and publishes — monitor with gh run list --workflow release.yml / gh run watch.
  3. Verify the GitHub release has all four binaries + SHA256SUMS.txt, crates.io has the new version, and ghcr.io has the version tag.

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.

release is a command published in the GitHub repository utensils/nxv (136 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 717 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
