release-dry-run

release-dry-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dyoshikawa/rulesync. It costs 20 tokens per session (602 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release dry run that reviews changes since the latest version tag and suggests a semantic-version increase. Semantic versioning uses major, minor, and patch numbers to communicate the size of a release.

In plain words
What is it for?
For listing commits and changed files, grouping changes, spotting breaking changes, and proposing the next version level.
Why use it?
It lets a team inspect a possible release before changing version numbers or publishing anything.

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-dry-run 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

This is a dry run command for release. It will summarize the changes since the last release and suggest the appropriate version bump based on semantic versioning.

Steps

  1. Get the latest release tag.

    • Run git fetch --tags to ensure all tags are available.
    • Run git describe --tags --abbrev=0 to get the latest tag.
    • Assign the result to $latest_tag.
  2. Compare code changes between the latest tag and the current HEAD.

    • Run git log ${latest_tag}..HEAD --oneline to get the commit list.
    • Run git diff ${latest_tag}..HEAD --stat to get the file change statistics.
  3. Analyze the changes and create a summary in the following format:

    ## Changes Summary
    
    ### Commits since ${latest_tag}
    - List of commits with their messages
    
    ### Changed Files
    - Summary of file changes (added, modified, deleted)
    
    ### Change Categories
    - **Breaking Changes**: List any breaking changes (API changes, removed features, etc.)
    - **New Features**: List new features added
    - **Bug Fixes**: List bug fixes
    - **Other Changes**: List other changes (refactoring, documentation, tests, etc.)
    
  4. Based on the analysis, suggest the appropriate version bump following semantic versioning rules:

    • MAJOR (X.0.0): Breaking changes that are not backward compatible
      • Removed or renamed public APIs
      • Changed behavior of existing features
      • Dropped support for older Node.js versions
    • MINOR (x.Y.0): New features that are backward compatible
      • New CLI commands or options
      • New configuration options
      • New tool support
    • PATCH (x.y.Z): Bug fixes and minor improvements
      • Bug fixes
      • Documentation updates
      • Internal refactoring without API changes
      • Dependency updates (unless they cause breaking changes)

    Important: Whenever the changes include any feature removal or a change in the behavior of an existing feature, do not hesitate to choose a MAJOR version bump. Prioritize protecting users from unexpected breakage over keeping the version number low.

  5. Output the final recommendation in the following format:

    ## Version Bump Recommendation
    
    Current version: ${latest_tag}
    Recommended bump: MAJOR / MINOR / PATCH
    Suggested new version: vX.Y.Z
    
    ### Reasoning
    - Explain why this version bump is recommended based on the changes.
    

Note: This is a dry run only. No files will be modified and no commits will be made.

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.
