crow-release-review

crow-release-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from corveil/crow. It costs 139 tokens per session (9,747 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A release-review workflow that studies changes since the previous release and creates a private review page for an operator. A release is a version of software made available to users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review releases across repositories, prepare a phased runbook, record notes and decisions, and verify each approved release after it goes live.
Why use it?
It turns many code changes into a plain-language summary of user impact, risks, blockers, deployment steps, and post-release checks. It also keeps deployment under the operator's explicit 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 C, and why

crow-release-review scanned grade C with 2 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (release_test.sh, release.sh), 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

1. Clear the last read, so a doc deleted since then doesn't linger: `rm -rf D/raw`.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Every agent step stays read-only against prod**: describe, list and get calls, CLI reads, curl GETs, log queries. A step that would write belongs to a person (`human`).

Crow Release Review Skill

Purpose

Packages the release a Manager prepared and shipped by hand on 25 Oct 2026: three repos, 45 PRs, one page. The operator asked what was on main since each repo's last release. For each change they wanted what changes for users, a plain-language before and after with pros and cons, how risky it is to deploy, release blockers, post-release test steps a coding agent can run, and a notes box. Then they ran the whole release from that page.

  1. Study what is on main since each repo's last release, and how each repo releases.
  2. Publish one release review page: a summary, one tab per repo, a runbook, and a test ledger.
  3. Read back the operator's notes, decisions and runbook ticks.
  4. Run the release with them: baselines before each tag, and each tag only on their explicit go.
  5. Verify after each release goes live: run the agent-runnable steps and record pass or fail with evidence on the page.

In scope: the study, the page, its storage contract, the read-back, and the verify loop. Out of scope: tagging or deploying on your own. You run a tag command only when the operator says go for that tag, because every tag is a prod deploy. Fixing what the study finds is out of scope too: blockers and findings become tickets through /crow-create-ticket.

Requirements

  • A Manager running Claude Code signed in to claude.ai, with the Artifact and ArtifactData tools.
  • git, and gh authenticated for every repo. jq 1.6 or newer.
  • A local clone of each repo (see Phase 0).
  • Whatever read-only access the test steps need (a cloud CLI profile, a product CLI). The study names it per step in needs.

Without the Artifact tools (Cursor, Codex, OpenCode Managers, or Claude Code without a claude.ai login), the page can't be published. Say so, then fall back to a Markdown report:

R report --items D/items.json --out D/report.md

Show the verdict, the blockers and the runbook in chat, give the path to the full report, and ask the operator for decisions and notes in chat. The rest of the loop still works on disk: record each step result yourself as D/raw/checks/{step id}.json with the same shape as the page (The storage contract), and R report --items D/items.json --data D/raw shows them as ticked or failed.

What ships with it

3 files 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.
