In plain words
What is it for?

It explains how to check versions, trigger the correct automated build, and inspect the resulting draft release or build files.

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

This is agent-tower/core's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on core 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 core configures →

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-desktop-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 2mo 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

GitHub Desktop Release

用于通过 .github/workflows/build-desktop.yml 触发桌面端多平台打包,并生成 GitHub draft release。

触发机制

  • push tag 且 tag 匹配 v*:自动构建 macOS/Windows/Linux 桌面包,并创建或更新 draft GitHub Release。
  • workflow_dispatch:只手动构建并上传 Actions artifacts,不创建 GitHub Release。

正式发布桌面包时优先用 tag push,不要只手动跑 Action。

发布前检查

  1. 确认工作区状态:
git status --short
  1. 确认当前版本来源:
  • npm/server 版本在 packages/server/package.json
  • desktop 包版本在 tag workflow 中由 tag 临时写入 packages/desktop/package.json
  • tag 必须是 semver 形式,例如 v0.5.2-beta.6
  1. 构建前本地至少验证:
pnpm --filter @agent-tower/server build
pnpm --filter @agent-tower/desktop run package:prepare

如改过 Linux metadata 或 Electron Builder 配置,再跑:

pnpm --filter @agent-tower/desktop run package:linux

触发 GitHub 自动打包

  1. 创建并推送 tag:
git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z

如果 tag 已存在且需要重发,先和用户确认。不要擅自删除或强推 tag。

  1. 查看 workflow:
gh run list --workflow "Build Desktop" --limit 5
gh run watch <run-id>
  1. 查看产物:
gh run download <run-id> --dir desktop-artifacts
  1. 查看 draft release:
gh release view vX.Y.Z

GitHub Release 行为

tag push 成功后 workflow 会:

  • 在 macos-latest 构建 macOS arm64 DMG
  • 在 windows-latest 构建 Windows x64 NSIS installer 和 portable exe
  • 在 ubuntu-latest 构建 Linux x64 AppImage 和 deb
  • 上传 Actions artifacts,保留 14 天
  • 创建或更新 draft GitHub Release,并上传所有平台产物

发布 draft release 前,检查产物齐全后再执行:

gh release edit vX.Y.Z --draft=false

预发布版本可标记 prerelease:

gh release edit vX.Y.Z --prerelease --draft=false

常见问题

  • Prisma 类型错误:确认 packages/server/package.json 的 build 会先跑 pnpm run db:generate。
  • Windows cp 不存在:server build 资产复制应使用 Node 脚本,不用 Unix-only cp。
  • Linux deb 报 Please specify project homepage:packages/desktop/package.json 顶层需要 homepage。
  • Linux WM_CLASS warning:顶层 desktopName 配合 build.linux.syncDesktopName: true。
  • macOS 包目前未签名/未公证;正式分发前需要 Developer ID signing/notarization。
  • Windows 包目前未签名;正式分发前需要代码签名。

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.
