release-tag

release-tag is a skill for Claude Code from GhostlyGawd/codeweb. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,552 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for codeweb, covering version preparation, changelog updates, merging to the main branch, tagging, and publishing a GitHub Release. A tag is a named point in Git history used to mark a specific version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cut, tag, publish, and verify codeweb releases, including choosing patch, minor, or major version changes.
Why use it?
It prevents releases from being tagged before the right changes reach the main branch and explains how the automated publishing workflow is triggered.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/release.mjs --minor # or --patch / --major / --version=X.Y.Z.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-tag 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 2mo 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

codeweb release runbook

A release is three moves: prep the files → land on main → push the tag. The tag push triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which publishes the GitHub Release server-side with notes sliced from CHANGELOG.md — so the whole flow works from ANY environment, including ones with no gh CLI and no GitHub-release API access (remote agent sessions).

Never commit to main directly; never push a tag until its release commit is ON main.

When to cut — don't wait to be asked

Releasing is the DEFAULT next step after user-visible work merges to main, not something to note for later. The maintainer should never have to say "cut it."

  • Feature work merged, CI green, [Unreleased] carries user-visible value → cut a minor the same day. An accumulating [Unreleased] section is a smell.
  • Fix-only [Unreleased] → patch.
  • A breaking CLI/tool contract → major (pre-1.0: minor, with a loud changelog note).
  • Docs/CI/site-only changes → don't tag; let them ride along with the next real release.
  • Unsure between two bumps? The changelog decides: any ### Added entry = minor.

After merging a feature PR, finish the job: prep → land → tag → verify, then report the release URL. Only hold off if the maintainer has said to batch, or main is red.

0. Preconditions

  • CI green on main; working tree clean.
  • npm test passes locally (the full suite — the count grows release to release; a handful of environment skips are fine: golden-target-absence, optional typescript, engine-fallback inverse).
  • node scripts/check-consistency.mjs reports OK.
  • CHANGELOG.md has a meaningful [Unreleased] section — that text becomes the release notes.

1. Prep the file ecosystem

Preferred (one motion):

node scripts/release.mjs --minor          # or --patch / --major / --version=X.Y.Z

It bumps package.json, rolls [Unreleased] into ## [X.Y.Z] - <today> (+ link refs), version-syncs plugin.json / SKILL.md / README badge / the mcp-server version literal, rebuilds the site, and re-runs the consistency check. It never touches git.

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.
