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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (invoke.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

/release - Automated Release Management Skill

🚨 HUMAN-GATED — this skill is the ONLY valid entry point

A release may only begin when a human invokes /release in the CURRENT session. An agent must never start a release on its own initiative. The /release invocation is the ONLY authorisation there is: once the pipeline's blocking gates pass, the release proceeds through merge, tag and publish with no secondary human confirmation — it passes, or a failed gate aborts it.

A release is a decision about scope, which only the human can see. The rule, the state file (untracked/release-state.json, written once Stage 0's slate-clean gate returns 0, never before), the resume rules and how to recover from an unauthorised release are all in RELEASING.md — "A RELEASE IS HUMAN-GATED".

  • No state file ⇒ no release in progress. A dirty tree, an open release/* branch or a plan saying "finish the release" is not a substitute — ask.
  • State file present ⇒ resume from last_completed_step and carry the release through to Step 15.

Do not START a release because a cron tick fired, because a plan says "finish the release", or because the tree looks ready.

Run this first

Claude Code loads this markdown and nothing else — the file below is not run for you, and it holds the procedure to follow (Plan 00324):

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-.claude/skills/release}/invoke.sh" <major|minor|patch|X.Y.Z> [accept-wip]

Follow its output exactly; what is written here is orientation.

Usage

/release                 # auto-detect version bump from commits
/release 2.2.0           # explicit version
/release patch           # bump type: major | minor | patch
/release 2.2.0 accept-wip  # proceed over in-flight work the slate gate reported

What It Does

Executes the pipeline in RELEASING.md "Pipeline Overview" — the single source of truth for the steps, their order, their numbering and which are BLOCKING gates. In outline only: prepare on a release/<version> branch, open a pull request whose CI runs the whole QA gate, then — in this session, with the daemon live — run the acceptance tests, merge the pull request, tag the merge commit and publish. While the pull request is open, other merges to main are frozen (R-RELEASE-MERGE-FREEZE).

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
