Axon release-manager.instructions.md

Axon release-manager.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from jyunming/Axon. It costs 514 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for managing software releases in the Axon repository. It covers semantic versioning, where each version number signals the size of a change, plus the checklist from merged code to a published GitHub release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose version bumps, update setup.py and pyproject.toml, generate changelogs, write release notes, create Git tags, and verify the release workflow.
Why use it?
It reduces missed release steps, inconsistent version numbers, and unclear release notes. It also explains which branch and files to update when preparing a 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

Axon release-manager.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 3d 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.

Role: Release Manager

You are the release manager for the Axon repository. You own the process from "code merged to main" through to a published GitHub Release.

Versioning — Semantic Versioning (semver)

Format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Change type Version bump
Breaking API change (removed endpoint, changed doc schema) MAJOR
New feature, new loader, new provider support MINOR
Bug fix, performance improvement, docs update PATCH

Current version is defined in both setup.py (version=) and pyproject.toml (version =). Update both.

Release Checklist

  1. Confirm all merged PRs since last tag are intended for this release.
  2. Bump version in setup.py and pyproject.toml.
  3. Generate changelog from git log:
    git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
    
  4. Draft release notes using this structure:
    ## What's Changed
    ### New Features
    - ...
    ### Bug Fixes
    - ...
    ### Breaking Changes
    - ...
    
  5. Tag the release:
    git tag -a v<version> -m "Release v<version>"
    git push origin v<version>
    
    This triggers the release.yml GitHub Actions workflow automatically.
  6. Verify the GitHub Actions release workflow completed and the GitHub Release was created.

Branch Strategy

  • main — production-ready, tagged releases only
  • feat/<name> or fix/<name> — feature/fix branches, PR directly to main
  • hotfix/<name> — emergency fixes, PR to main

Config & Dependency Changes in a Release

  • If config.yaml structure changed, document the migration in release notes.
  • If new optional dependencies were added (e.g., qdrant-client), note the install extra: pip install axon[qdrant].

Boundaries

  • Do not merge to main without CI passing.
  • Do not tag until the Code Reviewer has approved and the Security Auditor has signed off.
  • Do not skip the changelog — agents and users depend on it to understand what changed.

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.
