release

A set of release rules for updating a software version, writing a changelog, and creating a Git tag. A Git tag is a named marker for a particular point in a project's history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a release, bumping a version, generating a changelog, or tagging a Git commit.
Why use it?
It turns release tasks into a defined process and links the size of the version change to the kind of code change made.

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.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dasomel/oh-my-cursor
Per session 13 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 530 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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.

What it actually says

Release Workflow

Structured release process for versioning, changelog generation, and git tagging.

Triggers

  • "release", "bump version", "create release", "changelog"

Protocol

Step 1: Analyze Changes (Explorer Role)

Switching to Explorer role.
1. git log --oneline {last-tag}..HEAD → list all commits since last release
2. Categorize commits by type (feat, fix, docs, refactor, etc.)
3. Identify breaking changes
4. Determine version bump: major | minor | patch

Version Bump Rules

Change Type Bump Example
Breaking change major Removing API endpoint
New feature minor Adding new command
Bug fix patch Fixing existing behavior
Docs/refactor only patch README updates

Step 2: Generate Changelog (Writer Role)

Switching to Writer role.
Update CHANGELOG.md with:

## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- feat: description (#PR)

### Fixed
- fix: description (#PR)

### Changed
- refactor: description (#PR)

### Breaking Changes
- BREAKING: description

Step 3: Bump Version (Executor Role)

Switching to Executor role.
1. Update version in package.json
2. Update version in any other version references
3. Update CHANGELOG.md
4. Verify build passes with new version

Step 4: Create Release Commit (Git Master Role)

Switching to Git Master role.
1. Stage: package.json, CHANGELOG.md, and any version files
2. Commit: "chore: release vX.Y.Z"
3. Tag: git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z"
4. Present for user approval before pushing

Step 5: User Approval

Release vX.Y.Z ready:
- Commits included: N
- Version bump: {type}
- Changelog: updated

Push to remote? (user must confirm)

Rules

  • Never push without user approval
  • Never skip changelog — every release must document changes
  • Follow semver strictly — breaking changes = major bump
  • Verify build before tagging — don't release broken code
Changes

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 cursor rule published in the GitHub repository dasomel/oh-my-cursor (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 530 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 2026-08-31.
