release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Data-Wise/craft. It costs 70 tokens per session (3,878 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow that takes software from pre-release checks through version changes, pull requests, merging, and GitHub release creation. GitHub, npm, and PyPI are common places where code packages or releases are published.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and publish releases to GitHub, npm, or PyPI, bump versions, create and merge release pull requests, and preview a release plan.
Why use it?
It helps coordinate the many steps of publishing a new version and provides a dry-run option for previewing the process without making changes.

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 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 354 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Pipeline

Orchestrate end-to-end releases with pre-flight validation, version bumping, PR creation, merge, and GitHub release — all in one flow.

When to Use

  • User says "release", "ship it", "cut a release", or similar
  • User wants to publish a new version to GitHub/npm/PyPI
  • User is ready to merge dev to main and tag a release

Prerequisites

  • Must be on dev branch (or have dev up to date)
  • All feature work merged to dev via PRs
  • Working tree clean (no uncommitted changes)

Arguments

Argument Alias Description Default
--dry-run -n Preview release plan without executing false
--autonomous --auto Run without user prompts, auto-resolve where possible false
--skip-surfaces Skip Step 13.6 surface registry phase (propagation + verify) false

Dry-Run Mode

When --dry-run or -n is passed, execute only Step 1 (version detection), then display a preview of every remaining step and exit. No mutations occur.

Risk Level: HIGH (modifies git history, creates PRs, publishes releases)

Dry-Run Output

After detecting the current and next version, display:

What ships with it

Changes

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.
