gsd-task-manager: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/release.md

release is a command for Claude Code from vscarpenter/gsd-task-manager. It costs 39 tokens per session (607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated release command for the gsd-taskmanager app or its MCP server. It coordinates version changes, checks, Git operations, pull requests, tags, and a GitHub release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for patch, minor, major, or explicit version releases, including clean-branch checks, version bumps, type checks, linting, tests, commits, pushes, pull requests, merges, tags, and GitHub release creation.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeat the full release sequence manually and stops when the branch, verification, review, or merge requirements are not satisfied.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

This is vscarpenter/gsd-task-manager's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gsd-task-manager itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything gsd-task-manager configures →

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 2mo 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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/release

Release the gsd-taskmanager app or MCP server. Replaces the recurring "bump version to N, commit, push, PR, merge, tag, GH release" manual flow.

Inputs

$ARGUMENTS is either:

  • patch / minor / major — bump the matching SemVer segment of package.json (workspace root).
  • An explicit version like 9.4.0 — pin to that exact value.

Steps

  1. Branch preflight — confirm working tree is clean (git status --porcelain). If dirty, ask whether to stash or include changes.
  2. Branch creation — if on main, create chore/release-<version>. (The no-main-commits.sh hook will block otherwise.)
  3. Version bump — update package.json and packages/mcp-server/package.json if the MCP server is part of the release. Use npm version --no-git-tag-version or edit directly.
  4. Verification gate — run bun typecheck && bun lint && bun run test. Halt if any fail.
  5. Commit — chore(release): vX.Y.Z with a body listing the user-visible changes since the previous tag (git log --oneline <prev-tag>..HEAD).
  6. Push and PR — push the branch, open a PR titled Release vX.Y.Z with the changelog as the body.
  7. Wait for review or self-merge — if the user has authority, ask whether to merge immediately.
  8. Tag — after merge, git fetch origin main, git tag vX.Y.Z, git push origin vX.Y.Z.
  9. GitHub release — gh release create vX.Y.Z --generate-notes --title "vX.Y.Z".
  10. MCP publish (if applicable) — if the MCP server bumped, run npm publish from packages/mcp-server/ (requires npm login).

Anti-goals

  • Don't run on a dirty working tree without explicit user OK.
  • Don't push tags before the version-bump PR is merged.
  • Don't publish to npm without user confirmation — that step is hard to reverse.

Verification before declaring done

  • Version bump merged on main.
  • Tag exists on remote.
  • GitHub release page shows the new version.
  • If MCP server was published, npm view gsd-mcp-server version returns the new value.

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.
