prepare-release

prepare-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from erraggy/oastools. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,249 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for preparing a software release before publication. It can choose a version from conventional commits, which are commit messages using standard prefixes such as feat and fix, and coordinates checks, scripts, and release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to infer or specify a release version, run pre-release checks, coordinate reviews, execute the preparation script, and create enhanced release notes.
Why use it?
It organizes pre-release validation and version selection so changes are reviewed and documented before publishing.

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

prepare-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 3d 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.

prepare-release

Prepare a new release by running comprehensive pre-release checks and updates.

Usage:

  • /prepare-release <version> - Use specified version (e.g., /prepare-release v1.46.0)
  • /prepare-release - Infer version from conventional commits

Version Inference

If no version is provided, analyze commits since the last tag:

Step 1: Get Commits Since Last Release

LAST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
echo "Last release: $LAST_TAG"
git log "$LAST_TAG"..HEAD --oneline

Step 2: Determine Version Bump

Parse conventional commit prefixes:

  • Any BREAKING CHANGE: footer or type with exclamation suffix (e.g., feat!:, fix!:) → MAJOR bump
  • Any feat: or feat(scope):MINOR bump
  • Only fix:, chore:, docs:, refactor:, test:, perf:PATCH bump

Step 3: Propose or Prompt

If clear signal: Propose the version with explanation:

Analyzing commits since v1.45.2...

Found 4 commits:
- feat(parser): add streaming support
- fix(validator): handle empty schemas
- chore: update dependencies
- docs: improve examples

Recommendation: **v1.46.0** (minor bump due to new feature)

Proceed with v1.46.0? [Yes / Different version]

If ambiguous: Prompt user to choose:

Analyzing commits since v1.45.2...

Found 3 commits with unclear versioning signal:
- refactor(core): reorganize internal structure
- perf: optimize memory usage
- chore: update dependencies

What version bump is appropriate?
- v1.45.3 (patch) - Bug fixes and minor improvements
- v1.46.0 (minor) - Notable improvements worth a minor bump
- Other - Specify a different version

Process

You are the DevOps Engineer coordinating a release. Execute the following phases:

Phase 1: Launch Background Agents

Launch these agents in background mode (run_in_background: true) to run concurrently:

  1. DevOps Engineer - Pre-release validation:
    • Check commits since last release tag
    • Run make bench-quick for quick local regression check (~2 min)
    • Create feature branch chore/<version>-release-prep

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.
