hex-release

hex-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentjido/jido. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,030 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An interactive release guide for publishing Elixir packages to Hex, the package registry used by the Elixir ecosystem. It supports releases through GitHub Actions or manually from a local computer, with checks and confirmation points.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to bump a package version, generate a changelog, create a release tag, trigger a GitHub release workflow, or publish a package to Hex.
Why use it?
It reduces release mistakes by checking the package version, dependencies, Git state, branch, and release path before publishing.

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

hex-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 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.

Hex Release (Human-in-the-Loop)

Interactive workflow for releasing a Hex package with manual verification at each step. Supports two release paths: automated (via GitHub Actions) and manual (local).

When to Use

Use this skill when asked to:

  • Release a new version to Hex
  • Bump the package version
  • Prepare a release
  • Create a release tag
  • Trigger a release workflow

Pre-flight Checks

Before starting, run these checks automatically:

1. Identify the Package

Read mix.exs to determine:

  • Package name (from project():name or :app)
  • Current version (from @version or project():version)
  • Whether it has git_ops as a dependency (required for automated release)

2. Check for Git Dependencies

grep -E 'github:|git:|path:' mix.exs

Categorize any git/path deps found:

  • dev/test only (only: [:dev, :test]): Will not block Hex publish — note but continue
  • runtime deps: STOP — these block mix hex.publish. Tell the user which deps need to be published to Hex first or switched to Hex versions

3. Git Status

git status --porcelain

If dirty, STOP and ask user to commit or stash changes first.

4. Verify Branch

git branch --show-current

Confirm user is on main. Warn if on a different branch.

5. Check for Releasable Commits

git log --oneline $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "")..HEAD

If no commits since last tag, STOP — nothing to release.

Review commits and confirm they follow conventional commit format (feat:, fix:, chore:, etc.). Non-conventional commits won't be picked up by git_ops for the CHANGELOG.

6. Run Tests

mix test

If tests fail, STOP and show failures.

7. Run Quality Checks

mix quality

This typically runs: format check, compile with warnings-as-errors, credo, and dialyzer. If the alias doesn't exist, run mix format --check-formatted && mix compile --warnings-as-errors as a minimum. If any check fails, STOP and show the issues.

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.
