Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00067 | $0.00884 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00354 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00177 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00088 |
Grade A, and why
release-management 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Release Management
Purpose
Turn verified changes into a controlled release. Collect the checks that apply to the product, name the approver and blockers, define rollout and rollback, and verify the system after deployment.
Operational context
- Read
references/release-checklist.md. - Pull verdicts from
qa-eval,security-owasp-*,cve-zero-day-scanner,accessibility-audit,i18n-localization,pr-review,tdd-workflow. - Pull deployment surface from
devops-router/cicd-automation/cloud-operations/kubernetes-operations. - Use Context7 MCP for current store policies, certification checklists, version-numbering conventions, signing requirements, and registry submission rules.
Safe change sequence
- Versioning. Decide on the version bump (semver, calver, marketing version + build number). Lock the version string.
- Build provenance. Attach SLSA-style provenance: source commit, build steps, artifact hash, signing key, SBOM.
- Release notes. Two flavors: internal (full changelog, risks, rollback) and user-facing (highlights, fixes, known issues), localized per locale via
i18n-localization. - Store / registry submission. Per channel: build artifact, signing, metadata, screenshots, age rating, privacy disclosure, content rating, encryption export compliance, store-specific reviews.
- Staged rollout. Define rollout stages: canary % → broader % → full, with hold criteria per stage based on error rate, crash rate, p95 latency, business KPI.
- Go/no-go report. Single page: every gate's verdict, named approver per gate, residual risks, rollback path, on-call rotation.
- Post-release verification. First N minutes / hours: watch dashboards from
observability-operations, telemetry, store reviews, support tickets. Promote or rollback based on hold criteria. - Retro hook. After release stabilizes, hand off to
documentation-graph-curatorto log decisions, anomalies, and lessons.
Safety rules
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.
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-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashermahonin/agentic-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 884 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
