release

A release checklist for GitWand projects and packages. It covers version changes, the changelog, tests, builds, commits, tags, and pushing the release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to release the whole monorepo, desktop app, npm packages, or VS Code extension, including creating the appropriate Git tag.
Why use it?
It catches uncommitted work, branch problems, failed tests, or build errors before a version is published.

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.

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 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.

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 — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release — Guide étape par étape

Étape 0 — Identifier le scope

Demander à l'utilisateur quel scope releaser (sauf si le contexte est évident) :

Scope Ce qui est publié Tag git
monorepo (défaut) Tout : desktop + npm packages vX.Y.Z
vscode Extension VS Code uniquement Versioning indépendant

Si l'utilisateur dit "je veux bumper la version", "nouvelle release", "publier le CLI", etc. → scope monorepo par défaut.


Étape 1 — Vérifications pré-release

Exécuter dans l'ordre, stopper si l'une échoue :

# 1. Pas de changements non commités
git status

# 2. Sur main (ou branche de release)
git branch --show-current

# 3. À jour avec le remote
git fetch origin && git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline

# 4. Tests passent
pnpm test

# 5. Build réussit
pnpm build

Bloquer et signaler si une vérification échoue avant de continuer.


Étape 2 — Mettre à jour CHANGELOG.md (racine)

Ouvrir CHANGELOG.md (racine du repo) et :

  1. Renommer ## [Unreleased] en ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD
  2. Ajouter une nouvelle section ## [Unreleased] vide au-dessus
  3. Vérifier que toutes les features/fixes depuis la dernière release sont documentés
  4. Ajouter le lien de comparaison en bas du fichier : [X.Y.Z]: https://github.com/devlint/GitWand/releases/tag/vX.Y.Z

Format attendu (Keep a Changelog) :

## [Unreleased]

## [2.4.0] - 2026-04-28
### Added
- Support for .prisma resolver
### Fixed
- Context line detection bug in diff parser

Étape 2b — Mettre à jour roadmap.md

Ouvrir roadmap.md et :

  1. Déplacer les items livrés dans cette release depuis leur section actuelle (In Progress / Planned) vers le bloc Shipped correspondant à la version.
  2. Si des follow-ups ou limitations ont été identifiés pendant le dev, les ajouter dans la section planifiée appropriée.

Étape 2c — Mettre à jour website/changelog.md

website/changelog.md est le miroir éditorial public — format narratif (prose et sections thématiques), pas le format Keep a Changelog. Il doit couvrir tout l'historique depuis v0.0.1.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository devlint/GitWand (167 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 2,013 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
