releasing-code

releasing-code is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexei-led/cc-thingz. It costs 53 tokens per session (920 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for preparing, publishing, or repairing a software release and writing its release notes. A release is a version of software made available to users, while release notes explain what changed and what users may need to do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect commits, tags, and release settings; prepare or repair notes; validate a release; and route the publication of a versioned release.
Why use it?
It helps ensure that notes describe the changes actually included, follow the project's established source, and call out required actions for breaking changes before publication.

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

releasing-code 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 17d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/release_notes.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Releasing Code

Prepare a release, route its publication, write its notes, or repair notes on a published release. Read notes.md when writing or checking release content. Follow the project's own release instructions where they are more specific.

Safety rules

  • Publishing and repair change external state. Before any external mutation, get explicit user authorization for the exact repository, tag, and action. Skill routing, a tool approval, a passing check, or workflow ownership is not authorization.
  • When a workflow owns the GitHub release, use that workflow's supported trigger. Do not publish around it with the CLI.
  • Never overwrite package versions, move an existing local or published tag, force-push, or add --clobber.
  • If the publisher, repository policy, a multi-step publication path, or the prior publication state is unclear, stop and ask.

Prepare

Done when the notes pass the checker, the full staged release diff is reviewed, and the project's release validation passes. Commit, tag, or publish only after the notes are reviewed.

  • Identify the project, the intended version and tag, the last published release, and the publisher. Read the working tree, tags, recent commits, diffs, and release configuration; do not infer policy from a workflow filename.
  • Take changes since the verified previous release from commit bodies and diffs. Keep only user-visible changes that shipped in this release.
  • Use the committed changelog or other established release source as the single notes source. Do not write a separate body for the hosting service.
  • For each declared breaking change, write an Upgrade section with the required action, when to take it (before or after upgrading), and the consequence of skipping it.

Determine who publishes

Read the workflow steps and scripts for the operation that actually creates or updates the GitHub release. A tag workflow that only builds or uploads package artifacts does not own the GitHub release.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
