release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dylanroscover/Embody. It costs 49 tokens per session (3,516 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for preparing a software release, including version updates, changelog and README changes, template checks, and a fresh-install test.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing a release commit or GitHub release for a TouchDesigner project, including saving the project and checking the exported files.
Why use it?
It keeps the saved project version, exported files, documentation, and release steps aligned so a release is not published with stale or missing parts.

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

Release Commit Procedure

When the user asks to prepare a release commit (e.g., "prep a commit for v217"), follow these steps in order. After a successful push, follow references/github-release.md for the GitHub release.

0. Save the Project

The entire save call is project.save() -- no arguments. TD increments the .toe filename's trailing build, the onProjectPreSave hook in dev/embody/execute_src_ctrl.py bumps par.Version, deletes the prior release .tox, and exports the new one. Filename and par.Version stay in lock-step.

The release export honors pre_release/post_release hook DATs placed directly under the Embody COMP (none exist today; they fire on EVERY project.save, always in LIVE mode -- the Embody comp is never copy-staged, so such hooks would mutate the live comp). On any export failure the manifest is NOT written and the prior version's stale manifest is removed: a pre_release abort or save failure leaves NO release .tox for the new version, while a post_release failure leaves the fresh .tox WITHOUT a manifest -- check the log and release/ before pushing. The self-updater's rollback backup export passes run_hooks=False, so shipped hooks never fire in user projects during updates.

Don't pass a path (TD increments from your path's build, desyncing by one). Don't pre-set par.Version. Don't call ExportPortableTox directly.

If externalized files changed on disk while TD was closed (e.g. a landed worktree diff), verify the affected DATs re-synced into the live network BEFORE saving: table DATs load their file only on the post-launch refresh sweep, which can run AFTER an early save -- and the portable export captures LIVE DAT state, shipping stale content (observed v6.0.133: the exported palette_catalog was missing all 267 just-landed 33070 rows). Pulse op.Embody.par.Refresh and spot-check the changed DATs (row counts, code markers), then save.

If you've already mis-saved: rename the off-by-one .toe on disk to match par.Version, then have the user close TD without saving and reopen. Do not save again -- the hook will delete the just-correct release .tox.

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.
