tokenmaxxing: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/release-cli/SKILL.md

release-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 851-labs/tokenmaxxing. It costs 78 tokens per session (3,165 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for publishing a new version of the @851-labs/tokenmaxxing command-line tool to npm, the package registry commonly used by JavaScript projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly releasing the CLI, including checking the repository, bumping its version, updating release files, publishing, monitoring generated native packages, and testing the result.
Why use it?
It provides a checklist for versioning, changelog updates, commits, tags, publishing, and smoke tests. This reduces the chance of releasing from the wrong branch or missing a generated package step.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is 851-labs/tokenmaxxing's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on tokenmaxxing itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tokenmaxxing configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bun apps/cli/script/github-release.ts cli-vX.Y.Z --dry-run.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to 851-labs/tokenmaxxing. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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-cli 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 28d 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.

CLI Release Process

Follow these steps to release a new version of the @851-labs/tokenmaxxing CLI. Only perform mutating release actions when the user explicitly asks to release or publish a new CLI version.

npm versions are immutable and a pushed cli-v* tag may already have published packages, so a version is spent once its tag reaches origin. Never move or re-point a pushed tag to different code; see Publish Workflow Fails After Tag Push.

Pre-flight Checks

Release from a fresh worktree off origin/main, never from the user's main checkout. The lefthook pre-commit hook runs bun run check and bun run test over the whole checkout, so unrelated untracked files there (for example an outputs/ folder) can fail the release commit. Do not work around that with --no-verify or by touching unrelated files.

git fetch origin main --tags
release_dir="$(mktemp -d)/tokenmaxxing-release"
git worktree add --detach "$release_dir" origin/main
cd "$release_dir"
bun install --frozen-lockfile
git status --short

git status --short must print nothing. After choosing the version in Step 1, confirm it is unused on npm and in git. Each command below must print nothing:

npm view @851-labs/[email protected] version 2>/dev/null
git ls-remote --tags origin cli-vX.Y.Z

If either prints something, the version is taken: pick the next one, or see Tag Already Exists.

Step 1: Choose And Bump Version

Decide the bump from the requested change scope: patch, minor, major, or a prerelease variant when explicitly requested.

Update only apps/cli/package.json for the new version unless the lockfile changes after install. Do not add generated native packages to the source workspace; release publishing generates those package manifests from the CLI version. For alpha/beta/rc releases, use a prerelease version such as X.Y.Z-alpha.0; the publish script derives the npm dist-tag from the prerelease identifier unless --tag is passed explicitly.

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.
