github-release

github-release is a skill for Claude Code from 0x0w1/jig. It costs 68 tokens per session (3,375 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of jig-github-release, MIT.

A command-line release workflow that promotes the develop branch to main and creates a versioned GitHub release. A release is a published version of the repository with notes describing its changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish a release, choose a patch, minor, or major version, create the Git tag, and write release notes from the commits.
Why use it?
It standardizes version selection and release notes without requiring a release pull request or a separate release branch. It also ensures the release follows the repository’s versioning rules.

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

github-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 19d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to jig-github-release — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

GitHub Release

Use this repository skill for release execution.

Release Model

  • A release promotes the current origin/develop to main with a fast-forward push: git push origin develop:main. There is no release PR and no release/* branch.
  • develop must already contain every intended release change, squash-merged through develop-task-flow.
  • The bump is graded against this project's version rubric, not against a rule inside this skill. See Version Rubric.
  • The next version is computed from the latest vX.Y.Z tag using the graded bump type. See Version Format.
  • The release tag and GitHub release are created from the CLI with git tag and gh release create.
  • Release notes are written by the agent from the commits in <previous tag>..<new tag>, categorized by conventional commit prefix.

GitHub Profile

Before any gh command, resolve the host from JIG_GITHUB_HOST, local jig.githubHost, then github.com, and resolve the profile from JIG_GITHUB_PROFILE, then local jig.githubProfile. If a profile is configured, read its credential with gh auth token --hostname <host> --user <profile> without printing it and run every gh command with that credential through GH_TOKEN (github.com or *.ghe.com) or GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN (other hosts). Verify gh api user --jq .login matches the profile. Do not use gh auth switch; fall back to the globally active account only when neither the environment nor local config selects a profile.

Version Rubric

The grading rubric is not in this skill. It is a project-owned file, so every project grades by its own axis. The version-rubric skill owns that file.

Resolve the rubric path in this order:

  1. JIG_VERSION_RUBRIC environment variable (session-only override).
  2. git config --local --get jig.versionRubric (repository override).
  3. .jig/versioning.md (the convention).

Apply it like this:

  • Grade with the rubric's ## Decision Order: ask its questions in order and stop at the first match. That ordering is fixed; a rubric cannot change it.
  • Check the graded bump against the rubric's ## Grade Definitions before computing the version, and quote the deciding question in the report.
  • Apply ## Hard Rules after the ordered questions. A rubric without that section has no escalation rule.
  • A missing optional section (## Hard Rules, ## Interface Paths, ## Release Notes, ## Version Format, ## Pre-Release Checks) means that rule does not apply.
  • Rubrics written before the contract switched to English carry Korean titles, and they stay valid. Accept either spelling for every section: ## 판정 순서, ## 등급 정의, ## 강경 규칙, ## 인터페이스 경로, ## 릴리즈 노트, ## 버전 형식, ## 릴리즈 전 검증, and > 기준: for > Basis:. Read the file as it is; never retitle it during a release.
  • Read sections beyond the contract as grading context; a project may list what counts as its public interface there.
  • Report the rubric path, its source, and whether it records the adopted default or a project-specific rubric.
  • Never edit the rubric file from this skill.

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.
