release

release is a skill for Claude Code from ashaychangwani/imprint. It costs 28 tokens per session (624 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for publishing a new semantic-versioned package release, where the version number communicates the scale and compatibility of changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare major, minor, or patch releases by inspecting commits, updating package.json, previewing the changelog, creating a tag, and checking the npm publish.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes when choosing a version, updating the package, recording changes, committing, tagging, pushing, and verifying 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

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 6d 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.

Release Skill

Cut a new release for Imprint. Follow these steps in order.

Step 1 — Determine bump type

Run git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD)..HEAD --oneline to see commits since the last tag.

Decide the bump type:

  • major — breaking changes (feat!: or BREAKING CHANGE in body)
  • minor — new features (feat:)
  • patch — everything else (fix:, refactor:, perf:, docs:, chore:, etc.)

If unsure, ask the user.

Step 2 — Read current version

Read package.json and extract the current version field.

Step 3 — Compute new version

Apply semver bump to the current version. For example: 0.1.0 + minor = 0.2.0.

Step 4 — Update package.json

Edit package.json to set the new version string. Do not change anything else.

Step 5 — Preview changelog

Run bunx git-cliff --config cliff.toml --unreleased --strip header and show the output to the user. Ask if it looks correct.

Step 6 — Commit

Stage and commit:

git add package.json
git commit -m "chore(release): v<VERSION>"

Use the exact version string. No Co-Authored-By trailer for release commits.

Step 7 — Tag

git tag v<VERSION>

Step 8 — Push

Ask the user for confirmation, then:

git push && git push --tags

This triggers the release.yml workflow, which creates the GitHub Release, publishes the npm package, and uploads binaries.

Step 9 — Watch publish

Watch the release workflow:

gh run list --workflow release.yml --limit 1
gh run watch <RUN_ID> --exit-status

Then verify npm:

npm view imprint-mcp version

If GitHub Actions cannot publish and local npm auth is available, publish manually from the tagged commit:

npm whoami
npm publish --access public

Step 10 — Confirm

Tell the user: "Release v<VERSION> tagged and pushed. GitHub Actions created the release at https://github.com/ashaychangwani/imprint/releases, and npm shows imprint-mcp@<VERSION>."

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.
