nebula: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from AgentSystemLabs/nebula. It costs 110 tokens per session (3,766 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A release skill for preparing and publishing a tagged software release. It checks the repository, commits the intended changes, updates the workspace version, creates a tag, pushes it, and writes the release changelog.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting, shipping, or publishing a new version, including version bumps, tags, pushes, and replacement of autogenerated GitHub release notes.
Why use it?
It provides a required green build and test gate before publishing and protects the release from unrelated edits or shared-worktree conflicts.

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 C, and why

release scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 256 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nebula releases are tag-driven: pushing a v* tag makes .github/workflows/release.yml build the cross-compile matrix and publish a GitHub release with the binaries attached. Everything before the tag push is your job; everything after it is CI's, except the changelog, which CI gets wrong.

Work through the steps in order. Do not skip the green gate. If the user only wants the release notes for a tag that already exists, jump to step 7.

1. Preflight — assume you are not alone in this tree

Other agents edit this repo concurrently, and they will fight you for the index. All of these have happened while cutting a release:

  • Files you never opened turn up modified mid-task (git status from two minutes ago proves nothing).
  • git add silently captures their half-finished edits to a file you also touched — the staged diff came back 66 lines when the change under review was 56.
  • The index gets reset out from under a staged commit, so git commit reports "no changes added".
  • A git worktree you created gets pruned away underneath you.

So do not stage in the shared index at all. Do the entire release in a private worktree on a branch, and push that branch to main. The shared working tree is never touched, and nothing another agent does can corrupt what you are about to tag.

git fetch origin
W=<scratchpad>/release
git worktree add -b release-vX.Y.Z "$W" origin/main

A release-vX.Y.Z branch that already exists is a prior attempt from another session's scratchpad (git worktree list); git branch -m it aside and cut fresh.

Then bring your change in by content, file by file, checking each one as you go:

git -C <repo> diff -- <file>     # read it: is every hunk yours?
cp <repo>/<file> "$W"/<file>

A plain cp is only safe when the shared checkout's HEAD is origin/main (git rev-list --left-right --count HEAD...origin/main prints 0 0); otherwise a blind copy reverts whatever origin merged since, so carry the change as a --3way patch instead. For a file where your change is tangled with someone else's, extract only your hunks (git diff -- <file> > all.patch, keep your @@ blocks, git apply them onto the pristine copy) and re-read the result.

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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentSystemLabs/nebula (272 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 3,766 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
