A release workflow for testing changes in a clean copy of a project and preparing a pull request, a proposed change for review in a code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run isolated verification, check repository cleanliness, create a pull request with the specification and audit report, monitor continuous-integration checks, and fix failures.
Why use it?
It catches build, test, lint, formatting, and integration problems before changes are submitted for review.

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

ship 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship — Ship It

CRITICAL: Run HARNESS_DIR=$(epic-harness path) first. NEVER use .harness/ in the project directory.

Process

Step 0: Prerequisites

Load the spec for PR content:

ls -t $HARNESS_DIR/specs/SPEC-*.md | head -1

Gate: audit must have passed. If no audit report exists, invoke the audit skill before continuing.

Step 1: Pre-ship Verification

1a. Isolated Integration Test Launch an agent with isolation: "worktree" to verify in a clean environment:

  • Run full build from scratch (cargo build --release / npm run build / etc.)
  • Run complete test suite
  • Run linter and formatter checks
  • Verify no uncommitted artifacts

Gate: If isolated test fails → STOP. "Fix with /go, then re-run /audit before shipping."

Step 2: Git Hygiene

  • Ensure all changes are committed (Conventional Commits)
  • Rebase on latest base branch if needed
  • Squash fixup commits if appropriate

Step 3: Create PR

gh pr create --title "<goal from spec>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
<Goal from spec — what and why, not how>

## Spec
- Spec ID: SPEC-{timestamp}
- Requirements: R1, R2, ...

## Changes
<bullet list of key changes>

## Acceptance Criteria Verified
- AC1: ✅
- AC2: ✅

## Audit Report
<paste full Audit Report>

## Test Plan
- [ ] Unit tests pass
- [ ] Integration tests pass
- [ ] Manual verification done
EOF
)"

Register the PR in the merge-outcome ledger (orbit pipelines are picked up automatically; standalone ships need this one-liner):

epic-harness evolve record-pr <PR_URL> [--goal <goal_slug>] [--branch <branch>]

Step 4: CI Verification

gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER> --watch

If CI fails, diagnose and fix automatically. Retry up to 2 times.

Step 5: Report

## Ship Report
- Spec: SPEC-{timestamp} ({goal_slug})
- PR: <URL>
- CI: [PASS/FAIL/N/A]
- Ready to merge: [YES/NO]
- Action needed: <if any>

If inside /orbit: Return control to orbit — it will run evolve automatically.

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.
