cut-release

cut-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from grimoire-rs/grimoire. It costs 52 tokens per session (250 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checklist for preparing a software release, which is a published version of a project. It covers changing the version, updating the changelog, creating a tag, and checking publication steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting and publishing a new project release. The add-on is located under a nested playbook path in the repository.
Why use it?
It keeps the small but important release tasks together so a version is less likely to be published with missing notes or steps.

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

cut-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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Cut a Release

A small playbook for cutting a release: bump the version, regenerate the changelog, tag, and run the publish checklist.

It exists in the manual rig for one structural reason: it is the only package under the playbooks/ci/release/ namespace chain. Each of those segments has exactly one child, so the TUI tree view joins playbookscirelease into a single folded node (the "longest empty prefix" / VS Code "compact folders" behavior), with cut-release as its one leaf below it.

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.
