What is mda CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for sno-ai/mda and the release process for its command-line package. A command-line package is software published for use from a terminal.

It guides version changes, tests, Git commits and tags, pushing to GitHub, watching the publishing workflow, checking npm, and writing GitHub Release notes.

It records the exact steps and settled decisions needed to release the package without repeatedly asking for them.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01248	$0.01248
Opus 5.5	$0.00499	$0.00499
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00250	$0.00250
Haiku 4.5	$0.00125	$0.00125

Security

Grade A, and why

mda CLAUDE.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 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.

Release process for @markdown-ai/cli

No more asking the user about version numbers, npm tokens, trusted publishing, or auth. Everything below is settled. Just execute.

To cut a release (any 1.1.x, 1.2.0, 2.0.0 — same flow)

Edit apps/cli/package.json → bump version
pnpm cli:test (must pass; tests dynamically read the version)
git add apps/cli/package.json && git commit -m "chore(cli): bump to <version>"
git push origin main
git tag v<version> HEAD
git push origin v<version>
gh run watch $(gh run list --workflow=publish-cli.yml --limit 1 --json databaseId --jq '.[0].databaseId')
npm view @markdown-ai/cli@<version> version to confirm registry
Write real GitHub Release notes by hand and publish them. See "Release notes — non-negotiable" below. This step is part of the release; the release is not done until the GitHub Release exists with a written body.

The user does not need to do anything for any of these steps. Do not ask which version number to use — for a publish-only request, increment the patch. Do not ask whether to write release notes — always write them.

Release notes — non-negotiable

The GitHub Release body must be hand-written for every version. --generate-notes produces a useless "Full Changelog: vA...vB" one-liner when there are no merged PRs between tags (which is most patch releases in this repo), so the workflow no longer creates the Release automatically. Writing the body is the agent's responsibility.

Minimum required structure:

## What's new

<one sentence per user-facing change, lead with the change name in bold.
example: **`mda demo`** — one command to see the four-artifact flow ...>

## Other changes

<bullet list of smaller things: docs, CI, internal>

## Why the version jump (only if patches were skipped)

<one paragraph explaining which version numbers were skipped and why>

## Install / upgrade

<copy-pasteable npm install + npx invocation>

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.
