signaltree release-process.instructions.md

A required checklist and command sequence for releasing SignalTree packages. A release is the process of preparing and publishing a new software version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before releasing a package: verify the Git branch and dependencies, run the full validation suite, and use the project's release scripts.
Why use it?
It catches uncommitted changes, outdated code, failed tests, build errors, and package problems before publication.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

signaltree release-process.instructions.md 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.

SignalTree Release Process

Critical: DO NOT Skip These Steps

Publishing broken packages to npm damages user trust and creates support burden. This process is mandatory for all releases.

Pre-Release Checklist (Required)

Before running ANY release commands, verify:

1. Working Directory is Clean

git status
# Must show: "nothing to commit, working tree clean"

If there are uncommitted changes, commit or stash them first.

2. You're on the main branch and up-to-date

git checkout main
git pull origin main

3. All dependencies are installed

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

4. Full validation passes

npm run validate:all

This runs:

  • Linting (lint:all)
  • Tests (test:all)
  • Builds (build:all)
  • Type declaration verification (validate:types)
  • Package structure checks
  • Export validation

If any validation step fails, DO NOT proceed with release.

Release Commands (Use Release Scripts - NOT nx release directly)

SignalTree has comprehensive release automation in scripts/release.sh. ALWAYS use these npm scripts instead of nx release directly.

Recommended Release Flow (Automated)

# For patch releases (bug fixes)
npm run release:patch

# For minor releases (new features, backward compatible)
npm run release:minor

# For major releases (breaking changes)
npm run release:major

What the Release Script Does

The scripts/release.sh script provides a complete, reliable release workflow:

  1. Runs comprehensive pre-publish validation (scripts/pre-publish-validation.sh)

    • All tests must pass
    • All builds must succeed
    • Type declarations must be valid
    • Bundle sizes verified
    • Export integrity checked
  2. Bumps versions in all package.json files (workspace + all packages)

  3. Updates peer dependencies with correct version constraints

  4. Builds all packages in production mode

  5. Updates CHANGELOG.md from conventional commits

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.
