release-prep

release-prep is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from barockok/slaude. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,534 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for preparing a new Slaude software release, including version changes, release notes, checks, and publishing. A release candidate is a pre-release version tested before the final version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when bumping a version, preparing release notes, running type checks and tests, testing the installer, or promoting a release candidate.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable checklist for checking and shipping changes while keeping unfinished versions away from the latest installer release.

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 C, and why

release-prep scanned grade C with 2 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 4d 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.

Release Prep

Overview

Slaude release workflow. Granular commits, hand-written release notes, automated verification. Follows docs/releases/<tag>.md convention from CLAUDE.md.

Two paths:

  • Direct — bump, tag vX.Y.Z, push. For patches and low-risk minors.
  • Release candidate — tag vX.Y.Z-rc.N first, soak, then promote to vX.Y.Z. Use for anything touching the install path, the DB schema, or the agent loop.

Both run the same release.yml; the RC path just publishes as a GitHub pre-release (auto-detected from the - in the tag) so install.sh never picks it up as latest.

When to Use

  • User asks to prep/cut/ship a release
  • Version bump needed
  • Release notes need writing
  • Post-merge release verification needed

Quick Reference

Step Command / Action
Find last tag git describe --tags --abbrev=0
Diff commits git log <tag>..HEAD --oneline
Check changed files git diff --stat <tag>..HEAD
Type check bun run typecheck
Run tests bun test
Installer smoke bash tests/installer/smoke.sh
Promote an RC scripts/promote-rc.sh vX.Y.Z-rc.N [--dry-run]

Release Workflow

1. Diff since last tag

git describe --tags --abbrev=0
git log <tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-decorate
git diff --stat <tag>..HEAD

2. Determine version (semver)

  • Major (X.0.0): breaking schema/config/API change
  • Minor (x.Y.0): new features, non-breaking additions
  • Patch (x.y.Z): bugfixes only, no new features

Default to minor if any feat: commits since last tag. Patch only if all commits are fix:, docs:, test:, chore:.

3. Bump version

Edit package.json "version" field. Commit separately:

chore(release): bump version to X.Y.Z

4. Write release notes

Create docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md. Structure:

## vX.Y.Z — <one-line summary>

<paragraph describing release theme/motivation>

### Features

- **Area: feature name.** Description. Link to files if non-obvious.

### Fixes

- **Area: fix description.** What was broken, what changed.

### Internal

- Tests, docs, refactorings that don't affect runtime behavior.

### Commits

- `type(scope): subject` (short-sha)
- ...

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.
