release

release is a skill for Claude Code from gtapps/msteams-channel. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,773 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for the msteams channel plugin. It describes how to check the project, update its version in four places, write release notes, and publish a GitHub release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting a patch, minor, or major release, forcing an exact version, committing and pushing changes, creating a tag, or publishing release notes.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of publishing mismatched versions or forgetting a required release step.

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 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 5d 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 — 341 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release

Cut a release of the msteams channel plugin. This repo is its own marketplace: the plugin lives at the repo root and .claude-plugin/marketplace.json points at ./, so users install it straight from GitHub with /plugin marketplace add gtapps/msteams-channel. There is no registry and no build artifact — the git tag plus the pushed commit are the release, and a user's /plugin update pulls whatever main says.

That has one consequence worth internalizing before you start: an unreleased commit on main is already live for anyone who runs /plugin marketplace update. The tag is a marker for humans and for version-gated updates, not a gate on distribution. So main must never carry a state you would not ship.

Usage

/release — infer the bump level from the changes since the last tag. /release patch|minor|major — force a bump level. /release 0.2.0 — force an exact version.

The four version locations

Every release sets all four to the same X.Y.Z. claude plugin tag only checks the first and the third, so the other two are on you.

Location How to read it
.claude-plugin/plugin.json jq -r '.version'
package.json jq -r '.version'
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json jq -r '.plugins[] | select(.name=="msteams") | .version'
server.ts the { name: 'msteams', version: 'X.Y.Z' } literal in the Server constructor (~line 100)

The server.ts literal is what a client sees in the MCP initialize response, so a stale one misreports the running build to anyone debugging a live session. Edit it with the Edit tool, never a blind sed — the file contains other version strings.

Steps

1. Pre-release validation

Run all of these first. Abort on any failure — a bad tag on a repo that is the distribution channel is live for users the moment it lands on main.

bun install --frozen-lockfile     # lockfile must be current, not "fixable"
bun run typecheck                 # tsc --noEmit
bun test                          # 249+ tests, ~11s, no tenant or network
claude plugin validate .          # must print Validation passed (warnings ok)

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.
