release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Borda/AI-Rig. It costs 274 tokens per session (14,770 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for preparing release documentation from code changes. It can produce user-facing notes, changelogs, summaries, and migration guides, but it does not publish the software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write draft release notes, update changelogs, summarize changes for internal teams, and document upgrade steps between versions.
Why use it?
It turns a range of commits into communication that explains what changed and what users may need to do. This keeps release writing separate from tagging or uploading the product.

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 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.

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 — 715 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prepare release communication from changes. Output adapts to audience — user-facing notes, CHANGELOG entry, internal summary, migration guide.

All outputs = documentation artifacts (CHANGELOG.md, DRAFT.md, MIGRATION.md, SUMMARY.md, demo.py). Released product = code/package published separately via project tooling (git tag, gh release create, PyPI upload). Skill prepares communication; doesn't perform release.

NOT for ecosystem impact without release (use oss:analyse (requires oss plugin)). NOT for contributor communication or post-release announcements (use oss:shepherd (requires oss plugin)). NOT for retrospective analysis — historical review → oss:analyse (requires oss plugin).

Mode comes first; range or flags follow:

Invocation Arguments Writes to disk
/release [notes] [range] optional range (default: last-tag..HEAD); use v1->v2 for explicit range DRAFT.md
/release notes [range] --changelog optional range + flag DRAFT.md + prepends CHANGELOG.md
/release notes [range] --summary optional range + flag DRAFT.md + .temp/output-release-summary-<branch>-<date>.md
/release notes [range] --migration optional range + flag DRAFT.md + .temp/output-release-migration-<branch>-<date>.md
/release notes [range] --changelog --summary --migration all flags All four outputs
/release notes --append no range (derived from last-processed marker); compose with --changelog/--summary/--migration Runs the full pipeline scoped to the incremental range, integrating results into every existing artifact in place (DRAFT.md always; CHANGELOG.md/SUMMARY.md/MIGRATION.md when their flag is set) instead of regenerating from scratch
/release prepare <version> version to stamp, e.g. v1.3.0 All artifacts in releases/<version>/: DRAFT.md + CHANGELOG.md + SUMMARY.md + MIGRATION.md + demo.py
/release audit [version] optional target version Terminal readiness report; emits verdict: READY | NEEDS_ATTENTION | BLOCKED as final line for orchestrator consumption
/release demo [range] optional range (default: last-tag..HEAD) releases/<version>/demo.py or .temp/release-demo-<branch>-<date>.py

Range notation: v1->v2 (e.g. v1.2->v2.0) — converted internally to git range. No mode → defaults to notes. prepare = full pipeline — runs audit first, then all artifacts; use when cutting release, not drafting.

--append: assumes an earlier notes run already produced DRAFT.md (and, when their flags were used, CHANGELOG.md/SUMMARY.md/MIGRATION.md) and reruns the full pipeline — Gather changes through Draft executive summary, unchanged — scoped to only the commits landed since then, via a per-branch marker at .temp/release-last-processed-<branch> (see bin/release_append_marker.py). No marker found (first use, or history rewritten by rebase/force-push) → falls back to the default $LAST_TAG..HEAD range and full-overwrite write, same as plain notes — establishing the baseline for the next --append run. Every successful notes-mode write (append or full) refreshes the marker to current HEAD.

Non-destructive except revert/pivot: integration is purely additive — new bullets/blocks/paragraphs join existing artifacts without touching untouched content — unless this cycle's Classify/Truth-check phases detect that a new commit reverts or materially changes something a PRIOR cycle already wrote (see Gather changes' "Cross-cycle revert/pivot detection"); that stale entry is struck or superseded, never left stale alongside a contradicting new one. After merge, a Post-merge re-validation pass (see modes/release-draft-template.md) re-runs Truth check, Identify highlights re-ranking, Validate migration docs, and Validate docs against the FINAL merged content — catches prior-cycle content that went stale from THIS cycle's changes without being a clean detected revert/pivot (e.g. a Spotlight built on a commit a later cycle reverts).

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Borda/AI-Rig (25 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 274 tokens to every session and 14,770 once invoked, about $0.0014 per session on Opus 5. 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.
