verification-and-release

verification-and-release is a skill for Codex from cmdr-chara/codex-toolkit. It costs 32 tokens per session (708 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for checking whether a completed software change is safe to release. It bases the decision on tests, CI results, security, compatibility, monitoring, and rollback plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a verification plan, audit test and CI evidence, and decide whether a release is READY, CONDITIONAL, or BLOCKED.
Why use it?
It helps teams find missing proof before shipping and match the amount of checking to the change's risks.

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

verification-and-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 24d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/summarize_test_reports.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verification and Release

Decide release readiness from evidence proportional to consequence, novelty, blast radius, and reversibility.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill for verification strategy, CI/test evidence review, operational release controls, rollout/rollback planning, or a final READY / CONDITIONAL / BLOCKED decision.

Do not trigger to implement the feature, diagnose an unknown failure, or treat a green unit suite as sufficient release evidence.

Required inputs

Resolve the frozen candidate/ref, intended behavior, affected consumers, risk-sensitive surfaces, local/CI results, deployment topology, migrations, observability, rollback/forward-recovery, release scope, and protected user work.

Safety baseline

  • Preserve the working tree and candidate identity.
  • Do not mark skipped, stale, flaky, filtered, or wrong-revision checks as passing evidence.
  • Do not expose secrets in logs or evidence bundles.
  • Do not deploy or roll back production merely because this skill recommends it.

Workflow

  1. Freeze the candidate and claims. Every check must prove or challenge a specific behavioral or nonfunctional claim.
  2. Map risk. Use references/risk-test-matrix.md; risk comes from failure modes and reversibility, not line count.
  3. Choose minimum sufficient evidence. Static, unit/component, contract/schema, integration, end-to-end, nonfunctional, and operational layers are options, not a mandatory checklist.
  4. Review CI architecture when needed. For GitHub Actions speed, trust boundaries, permissions, caching, or deploy gates, read references/github-actions.md.
  5. Collect exact results. Where JUnit/LCOV reports exist, use:
python skills/verification-and-release/scripts/summarize_test_reports.py --junit build/test-results --lcov coverage/lcov.info --format markdown

Record command, candidate, environment, pass/fail/skip/flaky state, and relevant artifacts. 6. Evaluate evidence quality. Classify material evidence as current pass, fail, gap, stale, flaky, or not applicable with reason. 7. Verify operational readiness. Check applicable build artifact, configuration, migration ordering, health, flags, observability, support/runbooks, and rollback/forward-recovery. 8. Define rollout. State cohort/staging, kill/rollback trigger, monitoring window, and post-release verification. 9. Issue the decision. Use references/release-evidence-schema.md. Residual risk acceptance belongs to the authorized owner, not the skill.

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.

verification-and-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository cmdr-chara/codex-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 708 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
