dos-kernel: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/stable-release/SKILL.md

stable-release is a skill for Claude Code from anthony-chaudhary/dos-kernel. It costs 81 tokens per session (5,089 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure that promotes an already-shipped DOS kernel commit to a named stable channel. It does not create a new version or build; it adds a stable tag only after required checks and a waiting period pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to mark a previously released commit as stable, save the evidence for that decision, and create the matching stable Git tag.
Why use it?
A normal release records that code was merged, while a stable channel adds evidence that the commit remained trustworthy. The gate uses the test suite, a truth check, an outside CI run, and a soak window.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).

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

stable-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 376 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stable Release — a named channel on top of rolling /release (DOS)

/release ships a rolling tag (vX.Y.Z) whenever DOS lands user-visible change. That tag promises "this commit merged" — it does not promise "the substrate was provably trustworthy here." This skill adds a second, less-frequent channel that does make that promise.

A stable release is a promotion of an already-shipped commit, not a new build. No new version is minted. No new wheel or zip is produced. The gate is read at promote time, frozen into an evidence file, and a second annotated tag (stable/<codename>) is pinned on the same commit.

This is the DOS adaptation of job's stable-release skill. job gates on apply-loop hero metrics (silent-failure share, PSV verified-success rate, funnel-stage regressions) and KEEP-slot baselines from execution-state.yaml + baselines.yaml. None of that exists in DOS — DOS is a domain-free trust substrate, not an apply pipeline; it has no runtime funnel, no hero metric, no baseline ledger. So the gate is re-grounded on the only "known-good" signals DOS actually has: a green kernel suite, a clean truth syscall, and a soak window. See "The gate" below.

Trunk is master. The stable tag is pinned on a commit reachable from master; the push targets master's remote.

The kernel-vs-tooling boundary. The gate context script (scripts/stable_release_context.py) and this skill are dev/release tooling that operates ON the package — never imported BY dos.*. The "kernel imports no host, no scripts/" litmus in CLAUDE.md stays intact.

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.
