release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arbiterForge/codeArbiter. It costs 136 tokens per session (21,243 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A release workflow that creates a version tag from Conventional Commits, a commit-message format used to describe changes and version bumps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for publishing a declared release target and choosing its semantic-version change on a non-default branch.
Why use it?
It limits releases to a defined process and keeps version changes tied to the project's commit history.

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

release 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 yesterday.

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.

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.
