release-deploy

release-deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from afaraha8403/balakit. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for publishing software through GitHub tags and GitHub Actions, which automate jobs after code is marked for release.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare beta releases from staging, production releases from main, version tags, release notes, and GitHub Releases.
Why use it?
It separates everyday commits from beta and production deployments and reduces mistakes when choosing a release channel.

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-deploy 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release & Deploy (GitHub Tags)

Leading words: commits ≠ deploys; branch → channel; tag triggers ship; changelog is truth; interview once; never guess channel.

Core model

  • Commits ≠ deploys. Only a git tag + GitHub Release triggers deployment (via GitHub Actions or project-specific release jobs).
  • Branch → channel
    • mainproduction release
    • stagingbeta release
  • Tags
    • Production: vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g. v1.4.0)
    • Beta: vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-beta.N (e.g. v1.4.0-beta.1)
  • Release notes come from the project's maintained CHANGELOG.md (do not invent a changelog). See references/versioning.md.

Before every release

  1. Load project config
  2. Confirm channel with the user: beta (staging) or production (main). Never guess.
  3. Verify git state (PowerShell-safe; run as separate commands):
    • Correct branch checked out (staging or main)
    • Working tree clean (or user explicitly accepts dirty)
    • Branch is up to date with its remote
    • HEAD is the commit they intend to ship
  4. Determine next version from existing tags + user intent. Follow references/versioning.md.
  5. Extract notes from CHANGELOG.md for that version (or [Unreleased] if they are cutting that section into a version). If changelog is missing/ambiguous → stop and ask.

Release workflow

Follow references/gh-release.md. Summary:

  1. Ensure on the correct branch at the intended commit.
  2. Create annotated tag locally (optional if gh release create will create it).
  3. gh release create with tag, title, notes from changelog, and --target set to the branch (or SHA).
  4. Watch the project's release/deploy workflow (from project config) until green or report failure.
  5. Summarize: tag, release URL, channel, deploy target/URL from project config.

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.
