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.

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 | $0.00081 | $0.05349 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.02674 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.01070 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00535 |
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 9d 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 — 397 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Release - Cut a Project Release
Executes the project's release procedure with safety guards appropriate to a high-blast-radius operation. Discovers the procedure from the project itself rather than dictating one, always runs /review-release as preflight, and never pushes past a BLOCKER. Plans before executing; halts on first failure rather than guessing at recovery.
Scope of action: local repo and configured remotes. The skill pushes commits, pushes tags, and (when the procedure includes them) publishes to package registries. It does not attempt automatic rollback of partially-executed releases.
Reversibility note: local steps (version bump, commit, local tag) are reversible with git reset / git tag -d. The remote push is effectively irreversible once anyone has fetched. Package-registry publication is irreversible (most registries permit yank but not delete). The skill names each step's reversibility class in the plan.
Philosophy
High blast radius warrants high friction. Tagging and pushing a release is the kind of action that should never happen by accident. The skill is generous with confirmation prompts and pessimistic about partial-failure recovery. Auto-execution is never the default.
Composition, not duplication. Preflight checking is /review-release's job. This skill always invokes it and fail-stops on red. It does not re-implement the checklist or offer to skip it.
Discover the procedure, don't invent it. Release procedure is project-specific — make release, npm publish, cargo publish, gh release create, a custom CI workflow, or some combination. The skill searches the conventional surfaces before falling back to asking the user. If asked, it offers durable capture so the next release is fully automated.
Halt on first failure. Release sequences are not atomic. A failure halfway through (e.g., tag pushed but npm publish failed) leaves the project in a partial state. The skill stops at the first failure and surfaces the partial state for human decision rather than pushing through or guessing at rollback.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 chrisallenlane/claude-swe-workflows (18 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 5,349 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
