release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyrusagents/cyrus. It costs 42 tokens per session (569 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release procedure for publishing new versions of the Cyrus command-line tool and its related packages. A release is the checked and coordinated process of preparing code, creating a pull request, merging it, and publishing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when releasing Cyrus, publishing cyrus-ai, or running the project's release workflow. It prepares changelogs, updates package versions, runs release tests, validates the result, and publishes from the main branch.
Why use it?
It provides an ordered checklist for version changes, dependency installation, testing, validation, and trusted publishing. This reduces the risk of releasing untested code or mismatched package versions.

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 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Cyrus

Run Cyrus releases through the trusted-publishing workflow. Do not publish workspace packages manually.

Required reference

Read apps/cli/RELEASING.md completely before taking release actions. Treat it as the canonical operator guide and scripts/release-packages.mjs as the canonical package list and dependency order.

Workflow

  1. Fetch origin/main, start from current main, and preserve unrelated local changes.
  2. Prepare the release on a branch:
    • Move both changelogs' Unreleased entries into the new version.
    • Set the same version in every manifest printed by node scripts/release-packages.mjs list.
    • Run pnpm install and commit any lockfile change.
    • Run the F1 release test-drive protocol and save its report with the required -release-v<version>.md suffix.
    • List every released package@version in CHANGELOG.md.
  3. Run node scripts/release-packages.mjs validate <version>, then all checks required by apps/cli/RELEASING.md. Fix failures before continuing.
  4. Commit, push, open the release PR, and merge it to main before dispatching the workflow. Never publish unmerged source or a non-main ref.
  5. Dispatch .github/workflows/release-cli.yml from main in dry-run mode and monitor it through completion.
  6. Only when the user has explicitly requested the live release, dispatch the same exact version with dry_run=false. Monitor it through npm publication, git tagging, and GitHub Release creation.
  7. Independently verify the version on npm and run the published CLI's --version command.
  8. Use the Linear integration to move every issue referenced by the version's changelog section from MergedUnreleased to ReleasedMonitoring.

Safety

  • Never add an npm token. Publishing must use GitHub Actions OIDC.
  • Confirm every npm package trusts cyrusagents/cyrus and release-cli.yml before the first live workflow run.
  • A dry run does not authenticate to npm and does not prove registry writes.
  • Never rerun a partially published version blindly. npm versions are immutable; inspect which packages landed and recover deliberately.
  • Do not create or move a release tag until every package is published. The workflow owns tag and GitHub Release creation.

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.
