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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.01251 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00500 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00250 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
release-process 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Release Process
Earned knowledge from the v0.9.0→v0.9.1 incident. Every agent involved in releases MUST read this before starting release work.
SCOPE
✅ THIS SKILL PRODUCES:
- Pre-release validation checks that prevent broken publishes
- Correct npm publish commands (never workspace-scoped)
- Fallback procedures when CI workflows fail
- Post-publish verification steps
❌ THIS SKILL DOES NOT PRODUCE:
- Feature implementation or test code
- Architecture decisions
- Documentation content
Confidence: high
Established through the v0.9.1 incident (8-hour recovery). Every rule below is battle-tested.
Context
Squad publishes two npm packages: @bradygaster/squad-sdk and @bradygaster/squad-cli. The release pipeline flows: dev → preview → main → GitHub Release → npm publish. Brady (project owner) triggers releases — the coordinator does NOT.
Rules (Non-Negotiable)
1. Coordinator Does NOT Publish
The coordinator routes work and manages agents. It does NOT run npm publish, trigger release workflows, or make release decisions. Brady owns the release trigger. If an agent or the coordinator is asked to publish, escalate to Brady.
2. Pre-Publish Dependency Validation
Before ANY release is tagged, scan every packages/*/package.json for:
file:references (workspace leak — the v0.9.0 root cause)link:references- Absolute paths in dependency values
- Non-semver version strings
Command:
grep -r '"file:\|"link:\|"/' packages/*/package.json
If anything matches, STOP. Do not proceed. Fix the reference first.
3. Never Use npm -w for Publishing
npm -w packages/squad-sdk publish hangs silently when 2FA is enabled. Always cd into the package directory:
cd packages/squad-sdk && npm publish --access public
cd packages/squad-cli && npm publish --access public
4. Fallback Protocol
If workflow_dispatch or the publish workflow fails:
- Try once more (ONE retry, not four)
- If it fails again → local publish immediately
- Do NOT attempt GitHub UI file operations to fix workflow indexing
- GitHub has a ~15min workflow cache TTL after file renames/deletes — waiting helps, retrying doesn't
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-process is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure-Samples/eShopLite (169 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,251 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
