release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ehc-io/qmd. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,187 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of release, MIT.

A release workflow for a software project. A release is a named, checked version of the project made available to users; this workflow validates the changelog, installs Git hooks, and creates the release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running a release command, preparing changelog entries, updating the version, committing the release, and creating its Git tag.
Why use it?
It organizes the checks, version update, commit, and tag steps so a release does not rely on memory.

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/install-hooks.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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to release — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release

Cut a release, validate the changelog, and ensure git hooks are installed.

Usage

/release 1.0.5 or /release patch (bumps patch from current version).

Process

When the user triggers /release <version>:

  1. Gather context — run skills/release/scripts/release-context.sh <version>. This silently installs git hooks and prints everything needed: version info, working directory status, commits since last release, files changed, current [Unreleased] content, and the previous release entry for style reference.

  2. Commit outstanding work — if the context shows staged, modified, or untracked files that belong in this release, commit them first. Use the /commit skill or make well-formed commits directly.

  3. Write the changelog — if [Unreleased] is empty, write it now using the commits and file changes from the context output. Follow the changelog standard below. Re-run the context script after committing if needed.

  4. Cut the release — run scripts/release.sh <version>. This renames [Unreleased][X.Y.Z] - date, inserts a fresh [Unreleased], bumps package.json, commits, and tags.

  5. Show the final changelog — print the full [Unreleased] + minor series rollup via scripts/extract-changelog.sh <version>. Ask the user to confirm before pushing.

  6. Push — after explicit confirmation, run git push origin main --tags.

  7. Watch CI — after the push, start a background dispatch to watch the publish workflow. Use interactive_shell in dispatch mode with:

    gh run watch $(gh run list --workflow=publish.yml --limit=1 --json databaseId --jq '.[0].databaseId') --exit-status
    

    The agent will be notified when CI completes and should report the result.

If any step fails, stop and explain. Never force-push or skip validation.

Changelog Standard

The changelog lives in CHANGELOG.md and follows Keep a Changelog conventions.

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.
