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 | $0.00155 | $0.06281 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00062 | $0.02512 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.01256 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00628 |
Grade A, and why
release-and-publish scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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

100% identical to release-and-publish — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 330 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Preconditions
This skill runs after git wrapup. By the time it's invoked:
- Pre-wrapup verification is done (
field-test,security-pass,polish-docs-metaas applicable) package.jsonversion is bumpedchangelog/<major.minor>.x/<version>.mdis authoredCHANGELOG.mdis regenerated- README and every version-bearing file is in sync
- Release commit (
chore(release): <version> — <theme>) is at HEAD — or, in gated release PR mode, reachable from HEAD with only the review pass's commits above it - No tag exists yet — this skill creates it (step 4)
- Working tree is clean
- Release PR mode (see
git-wrapup's "Release PR mode"): HEAD is onrelease/<version>, the branch is pushed, the PR is open, and — in gated mode — the caller has confirmed the review pass is finished. Without that confirmation, halt: this skill never decides on its own that a review is done.
If any are missing, halt and tell the user to finish wrapup first. Do not attempt to redo wrapup work from inside this skill.
Failure Protocol
Steps 5–9 are network-bound. For those, retry transient failures up to 2 times with short backoff (~5 s before the first retry, ~15 s before the second) before halting. All other steps halt on the first non-zero exit — they're deterministic and a second attempt won't change the outcome.
Retry on transient patterns
Match stderr (case-insensitive) against any of these — if matched, the failure is almost always a network blip; retry:
integrity check failed/IntegrityCheckFailed— corrupt tarball during downloadECONNRESET/EAI_AGAIN/ETIMEDOUT/ENOTFOUND— network layerconnection reset/connection refused— transport bliptimed out/request timeout— server or network timeout- HTTP
502/503/504— transient registry error
Before retrying docker buildx --push (step 9), run docker builder prune -f to drop any cached corrupt layer. Skip this extra step for other retries.
Never retry on idempotent-success signals
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-and-publish is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyanheads/shift-mcp-server (1 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 155 tokens to every session and 6,281 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to release-and-publish, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
polish-docs-meta
Finalize documentation and project metadata for a ship-ready release. Use after implementation is complete, tests pass, and devcheck is clean. Safe to run at any stage — each step checks current state and only acts on what still needs work.
release-and-publish
Ship a release end-to-end across every registry this project targets (npm, MCP Registry). Runs the final verification gate, pushes commits and tags, then publishes to each applicable destination. Assumes git wrapup (version bumps, changelog, commit, annotated tag) is already complete — this skill is the post-wrapup…
publish-release
Releases a new McpOrchestrator version end to end — version bump PR, tag, and the automated deploy to GitHub Releases, NuGet, and the MCP Registry. Use when asked to release, publish, deploy, ship, or bump the version of McpOrchestrator.
gh-backup
A backup procedure that copies code and project working files to GitHub and then checks them by cloning a fresh copy and comparing the files. It also records which data and credentials must stay out of GitHub.
release-notes
Writes user-facing release notes from a git commit range. Use when asked to draft release notes, a changelog entry, or "what's new" text for a release.
release-and-publish
Ship a release end-to-end across every registry the project targets (npm, MCP Registry, GitHub Releases for .mcpb bundles, GHCR). Runs the final verification gate, fast-forwards main when the release rode a release PR, creates the annotated tag on the commit main now points at, pushes commits and tags, then publishes…
