release-workflow

release-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Goldziher/spikard. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,021 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A step-by-step procedure for publishing a new version of Spikard, including its Rust core library, command-line tool, and language bindings. A changelog records what changed between software versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting or increasing a version number, updating the changelog, checking release prerequisites, creating a GitHub release, or installing the released build locally.
Why use it?
It helps prevent incomplete releases by describing version updates, changelog preparation, clean-source checks, and publishing steps. It also explains which command keeps version numbers consistent across the project.

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 C, and why

release-workflow scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 13d 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Spikard Release Workflow

Ground truth: spikard is a Rust workspace (core library + spikard-cli + polyglot bindings). It has no set-version task — the equivalent is task version:set (a version-sync include). Cargo.toml is the single source of truth; version:set syncs it to every binding manifest.

1. Set the version

task version:set -- X.Y.Z        # e.g. task version:set -- 0.7.0-rc.1

version:set takes the version as a -- positional argument (CLI_ARGS). It runs alef sync-versions --set <version> then the full sync (regenerate READMEs, docs, bindings, scaffold, stubs, e2e, and precise cargo update for the core crate across dependent manifests). Bump variants also exist: task version:bump:patch, task version:bump:minor, task version:bump:major. task version:show prints the current version.

Verify:

task version:show
grep -m1 '^version' Cargo.toml

2. Update the CHANGELOG

Move every [Unreleased] bullet in CHANGELOG.md into a new ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD section (grouped Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed). Re-create an empty [Unreleased]. Never tag an empty section.

3. Clean-tree precondition (hard gate)

Never release a dirty or failing tree.

poly fmt --check .    # formatting clean (task format:check)
poly lint .           # lint clean (task lint)
task test             # Rust core tests pass (rust:test)

Use poly fmt --fix . (or task format) to apply formatting, then re-stage. For a full cross-binding gate before a release, run task test:all (task test + alef test). Optionally validate manifests with task publish:validate (alef publish validate). Fix any failure — do not release past it.

4. Commit, tag, and publish the GitHub release

git add -A
git commit -m "chore(release): X.Y.Z"
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z"
git push origin main
git push origin vX.Y.Z
gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --generate-notes

Add --prerelease for RC/beta tags. Use --notes-file from the new CHANGELOG section instead of --generate-notes when the changelog entry is richer. A bare git tag is not a release — always run gh release create. Tag-based releases trigger the multi-platform / multi-registry publish workflows.

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.

release-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository Goldziher/spikard (123 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,021 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
