hmem-release

hmem-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Bumblebiber/hmem. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,061 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release checklist for hmem, a tool that stores project memory for coding-agent sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before publishing a new npm package version or when preparing a patch, minor, or major release.
Why use it?
It helps prevent incomplete releases by checking code, skills, configuration, documentation, tests, and explicit publishing approval.

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

hmem-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.

/hmem-release — Release Checklist

Run this checklist before every npm publish of hmem. Every release touches code, skills, config, and documentation — this skill ensures nothing falls through the cracks.


Step 0: Get Explicit Permission (R0027)

Always pause before proceeding. Even when the user invoked this skill, get explicit go-ahead for this specific release. Don't infer approval from prior context — "apply the changes" is not "publish".

Show the user:

  • Current version → target version
  • Bump type (patch / minor / major) and the reason
  • Short summary of what's changing (1-3 bullets)

Then ask: "Soll ich publishen?" / "OK to release?" — wait for an explicit yes. If the user pauses, defers, or says "noch nicht", stop and do not run any further steps. The fact that the user asked you to prepare a release is not permission to ship it.


Step 1: Version Bump

npm version patch --no-git-tag-version  # or minor/major as appropriate

Decide the version type based on what changed:

  • patch: bugfixes, skill text updates, small improvements
  • minor: new features (new tools, new prefix, new config options, new skills)
  • major: breaking changes (schema changes, removed tools, API changes)

Step 2: Build & Type Check

npx tsc --noEmit   # type check first (fast)
npx tsc             # full build

Fix any errors before proceeding.


Step 3: Skill Audit

Every code change can affect skill documentation. Check each skill against the current code:

Skill Check for Common triggers
hmem-write write_memory format, body syntax (>), char limits, tag rules Changes to parseTree, write(), validation logic
hmem-read read_memory output format, load_project display, O-entry format Changes to formatBulkRead, formatRecentOEntries, load_project rendering
hmem-config New config parameters, changed defaults, removed options Changes to HmemConfig interface, DEFAULT_CONFIG, loadHmemConfig
hmem-update All user-facing changes: new MCP tools, removed tools, new CLI commands, statusline changes, new config options, behavior changes, setup steps. This is the changelog users read when upgrading. Every release — if a user upgrading needs to know about it, it goes here.
hmem-curate Curation rules (self + foreign-file), hmem_path param, new node types, new tags New tagged node types (#checkpoint-summary, #skill-dialog), schema changes, hmem_path-capable tool changes
hmem-new-project P-entry schema (R0009), write_memory format Changes to P-entry structure or write format
hmem-setup Hook scripts, init flow, MCP config format Changes to hooks, CLI commands, environment variables
hmem-wipe Checkpoint references, context threshold Changes to checkpointMode, contextTokenThreshold
hmem-sync-setup Sync config format, sync commands Changes to sync parsing, hmem-sync integration

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.
