TRACE: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Codex from axakon/TRACE. It costs 33 tokens per session (75 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A release workflow for TRACE maintainers that checks a repository, records the release, and publishes its tags and GitHub release.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run release preflight checks, commit and tag changes, push repositories, and create a GitHub release when the command-line tool is available.
Why use it?
It gathers version, changelog, syntax, documentation, and shared-file checks before publishing.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is axakon/TRACE's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on TRACE itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything TRACE configures →

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 1mo 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.

Changes

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.
