A release procedure for publishing AlphaClaw versions to npm, the JavaScript package registry, and GitHub, a code-hosting service. It also prepares release notes, closes addressed issues, and drafts a release post.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cut a release, publish a version, write release notes, create a GitHub release, close fixed issues, or draft a release tweet.
Why use it?
It turns release preparation into a sequence based on tags, commits, merged pull requests, contributors, and open issues. A draft is shown before publishing.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — built for openclaw. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); built for openclaw.

This is chrysb/alphaclaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on alphaclaw itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything alphaclaw configures →

About the project

AlphaClaw is a browser-based management layer for OpenClaw, an AI-agent gateway, that guides setup and monitors running agents. It helps users configure multiple agents, manage integrations, recover gateway failures, and observe activity from one dashboard.

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-publish 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 8d 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.

Release Publish

End-to-end workflow for publishing an AlphaClaw release. Produces release notes in the OpenClaw release format, publishes to npm, creates a GitHub release, closes addressed issues, and drafts a tweet.

Workflow

Phase 1: Gather History

  1. Identify the previous stable tag (git tag --sort=-v:refname).
  2. Determine the target version. If on a beta prerelease, the stable version is the base (e.g. 0.6.0-beta.30.6.0). Confirm with the user if unclear.
  3. Collect all commits since the last stable tag:
    git log v<prev>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
    git log v<prev>..HEAD --no-merges --format="----%nCommit: %h%nSubject: %s%n%b"
    
  4. Identify external contributors:
    git log v<prev>..HEAD --all --format="%an" | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
    
  5. Find merged PRs and contributor credits:
    git log v<prev>..HEAD --all --merges --format="%s"
    
  6. Check open issues on the repo that may be addressed:
    gh issue list --repo chrysb/alphaclaw --state open
    
    Cross-reference issue descriptions against the commit log to identify fixes.

Phase 2: Draft Release Notes

Present a draft to the user before publishing. Use this structure:

## AlphaClaw <version>

### What's New
* **Feature name**: concise description of what it does and why it matters.

### Fixes
* **Short label**: what was broken and how it's fixed. Reference issues
  (`Fixes #N`) and PRs (`(#N)`) inline. Credit external contributors
  (`Thanks @handle.`).

### Contributors
* @handle
Style rules
  • Each bullet starts with a bold short label followed by a colon.
  • Describe the what and why, not the implementation details.
  • Keep What's New and Fixes user-facing: describe behavior, not code structure (no "decomposed into folder-based components", "co-located hooks", etc.). Omit implementation-only changes from the release notes.
  • Use active voice ("add", "fix", "remove"), not past tense.
  • Reference GitHub issues with Fixes #N (auto-closes) or #N (link only).
  • Reference PRs with (#N).
  • Credit external contributors with Thanks @handle. at the end of the bullet.
  • List all credited contributors in a Contributors section at the bottom.
  • Fold reverted commits into their replacement — don't list revert + re-land.

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.
