release-assistant

release-assistant is a cursor rule for Cursor from ggarciasoft/agentic-release-governance-platform. It costs 640 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project rules for an AI release assistant that manages release information from Azure DevOps, a software planning and delivery platform. They define architecture conventions and safety limits for agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building or changing the release assistant, especially its application services, MCP integrations, validation rules, and release documents. They also prohibit approving releases or triggering production deployments in the MVP.
Why use it?
They prevent agents from inventing release data or making high-impact changes without authorization. Missing information must remain clearly marked as missing.

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-assistant 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 5d 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.

AI Release Assistant — Project Rules

This repository is an MCP-first, agent-host-agnostic release assistant for Azure DevOps. The same release-governance and azure-devops MCP servers power agents in Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude. See docs/hosts/agent-hosts-overview.md.

Architecture Principles

  • Keep business logic in application services, not in controllers, prompts, or MCP wrappers.
  • Keep MCP servers thin: MCP tools delegate to application services.
  • Use deterministic validation rules for release readiness.
  • Use LLMs only for summarization, document drafting, and guided interaction.
  • Treat Azure DevOps data and release-governance MCP responses as the source of truth.

Hard Safety Rules

  • Never invent work item IDs, PRs, pipeline links, rollback links, statuses, approvals, or dates.
  • Mark missing data explicitly as Missing; never hide it.
  • Never override or soften MCP validation results.
  • Never approve releases, trigger production deployments, or modify Azure DevOps work item states in the MVP.
  • Never edit release document Markdown files directly (for example release.md, release-*.md) or patch document content by hand. Generate and update documents only through generate_release_package and save_release_document. To refresh a document, re-run that workflow from the current release package.
  • Any production-impacting action requires explicit human confirmation and audit logging.
  • Never use the API by your own, always try to use MCP availables. If is not possible, ask to the user.

MCP Tools

The release-governance MCP server exposes these canonical tools (see docs/mcp/mcp-tool-contracts.md): create_release_item, get_release_item, get_application_mapping, attach_work_items_to_release, attach_pull_requests_to_release, attach_deployments_to_release, collect_release_deployments, find_rollback_candidates, collect_release_rollback_candidates, attach_rollback_candidates_to_release, validate_release, generate_release_package, save_release_document.

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.
