release-promotion

release-promotion is a skill for Claude Code from atretyak1985/swarmery. It costs 63 tokens per session (4,084 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for promoting application images and Helm chart versions between environments such as development, staging, and production. It uses fixed image digests, which identify an exact build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to promote or roll back image and chart versions, update a version-pinning repository, track current and previous versions, and review promotion history.
Why use it?
It keeps deployments traceable and makes it possible to return to the previous known-good version when a promotion causes problems.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is helm upgrade ${RELEASE_NAME} ./charts/${SERVICE} \.

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

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-promotion 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Promote the project's service images and chart versions across environments using immutable digests, producing updated entries in the version-pinning repo (if the project uses one -- project.json → repos; referenced below as <versions-repo>) with current/previous tracking for auditability and fast rollback. This skill manages the cross-environment promotion lifecycle; it defers the single-environment Helm upgrade execution to deployment and pull-based GitOps reconciliation to gitops-promotion.

When to use this skill

  • Trigger A -- Promoting an image from dev to staging or staging to production
  • Trigger B -- Rolling back a promotion to the previous known-good digest
  • Trigger C -- Updating <versions-repo> after a verified deployment
  • Trigger D -- Reviewing promotion history in Git for audit purposes
  • Trigger E -- Coordinating Helm chart version promotion alongside image digest promotion

When NOT to use this skill

  • Anti-trigger A -- Code-level refactoring rollback (git revert) -> use refactor-plan instead
  • Anti-trigger B -- Feature-flag toggles that change behavior without deploying a new image
  • Anti-trigger C -- Schema-only migrations that deploy without a new service image -> use migration-check instead
  • Anti-trigger D -- Hotfix cherry-picks that bypass the normal promotion queue -- handle as expedited single-repo deployments with post-hoc <versions-repo> update
  • Anti-trigger E -- Single-environment Helm upgrade orchestration -> use deployment instead
  • Anti-trigger F -- Cluster-level infrastructure operations -> use kubernetes-deployment instead

Required environment

  • Runtime mount: .claude/skills/release-promotion/SKILL.md
  • Tools / libraries: helm (v3+), kubectl, gcloud CLI (for digest lookup via the registry)
  • Repositories: the version-pinning repo (version state) and the chart repo (project.json → repos)
  • Reversibility profile: hard-to-reverse -- promotion writes to <versions-repo> (Git-tracked, revertible) and triggers a Helm upgrade on the target cluster; rollback requires a new promotion commit pointing to previous_digest

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.
