alphaclaw: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/release-beta/SKILL.md

release-beta is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chrysb/alphaclaw. It costs 25 tokens per session (509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for publishing the next AlphaClaw beta version and updating a Railway deployment template to use that exact version. Railway is a platform for deploying applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check and commit release changes, run tests, publish an npm beta, update dependency pins, and push the matching Railway template change.
Why use it?
It keeps the published beta and the deployment template aligned and prevents releases from proceeding when tests fail.

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-beta 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.

What it actually says

Release Beta

Use this workflow whenever the user asks to "publish beta", "push beta channel", "cut another beta", or equivalent.

Goal

Ship a new @chrysb/alphaclaw beta and keep ~/Projects/openclaw-railway-template beta branch pinned to that exact beta version.

Required sequence

  1. Prepare commit state in AlphaClaw

    • Check git status --short in ~/Projects/alphaclaw.
    • If there are changes to include, stage and commit them first.
    • Never commit unrelated secret files.
  2. Run tests before release

    • Run npm test in ~/Projects/alphaclaw.
    • Abort beta publish if tests fail.
  3. Cut and publish beta

    • npm version prerelease --preid=beta
    • git push && git push --tags
    • npm publish --tag beta
  4. Always update Railway beta template pin (mandatory)

    • Open ~/Projects/openclaw-railway-template/package.json.
    • Ensure branch is beta.
    • Set "@chrysb/alphaclaw" to the exact new beta version (for example "0.7.2-beta.1").
    • If you updated dependency pins (for example openclaw), run npm install in the template repo so package-lock.json is refreshed before committing.
    • Commit and push that repo:
      • commit message format: Pin AlphaClaw beta to <version>.
      • push to origin/beta.
  5. Report completion

    • Include:
      • release commit hash in AlphaClaw
      • beta tag/version published
      • Railway template commit hash for the pin update
    • Mention any warnings (for example npm package.json normalization warning).

Safety notes

  • Do not skip tests unless user explicitly asks.
  • Do not use --no-verify.
  • Do not force push.
  • Do not create GitHub release notes for beta-only publishes unless requested.
  • Prefer deterministic installs in templates: keep package-lock.json committed and use npm ci in Dockerfiles.

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.
