Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00123 | $0.04154 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00049 | $0.01662 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00831 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00415 |
Grade A, and why
release-aid scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 26d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Release AID
Maintainer-only skill — outside
canonical/. Likegenerate-profile, this lives only at.claude/skills/release-aid/— it is NOT incanonical/skills/, is NOT rendered toprofiles/, and is NEVER shipped to adopters. It operates on the AID repo itself. Edit it directly. It is a runnable procedure, not a spec — for the format/architecture of a release see.aid/knowledge/infrastructure.md; for the deep runbook (recovery,release.shflags) seedocs/release.md. This skill EXECUTES the process and closes the gap those two leave open: it always updates the release notes as part of the release.
Cuts one release of the AID repo — beta or stable — from the command to artifacts published in the right places with every check green. Runs the whole sequence autonomously, pausing only at the irreversible human-gated points: the PR merge, the tag push, and confirming the publish.
Argument — REQUIRED
/release-aid <level> where <level> is exactly one of major | minor | patch | beta.
The argument is required. If it is missing or not one of the four values, STOP and ask (one clear question) which level to release — do NOT default, guess, or proceed. Only continue once a valid level is chosen.
Step 0 — Resolve the target version
Read the current version: cat VERSION (source of truth; format M.m.p optionally -beta.N).
Never trust a version hard-coded in prose. Compute the target by the level, bumping that level
and zeroing every level below it:
| level | current is stable M.m.p |
current is beta M.m.p-beta.N |
|---|---|---|
major |
(M+1).0.0 (stable) |
(M+1).0.0 (stable) |
minor |
M.(m+1).0 (stable) |
M.(m+1).0 (stable) |
patch |
M.m.(p+1) (stable) |
M.m.p (stable — PROMOTE: drop the -beta.N, do not bump) |
beta |
M.m.(p+1)-beta.1 (start the next patch's beta line) |
M.m.p-beta.(N+1) (next beta of the same target) |
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-aid is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndreVianna/aid-methodology (6 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 4,154 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
