claudish-to-english: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from gvzdv/claudish-to-english. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for choosing a software version, preparing the changelog, updating plugin metadata, and publishing through GitHub. It separates preparation for maintainer review from tagging and publishing after the change is merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide whether changes need a minor or patch release, prepare a release pull request, tag the merged commit, and create the corresponding GitHub release.
Why use it?
It prevents releases from being cut from a dirty or outdated branch and keeps the version, changelog, pull request, tag, and GitHub release aligned.

Skill for Claude Code

This is gvzdv/claudish-to-english's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claudish-to-english itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claudish-to-english configures →

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 12d 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 — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cut a release

Two phases. Phase 1 prepares the release and opens a PR. Then you STOP: the maintainer reviews and merges. Phase 2 tags and publishes, and can only run after the merge because the tag must point at the merge commit.

If $1 is a version (0.9.0, v0.9.0 — strip any leading v), use it. If not, derive it and confirm before writing anything.

Phase 1 — prepare

1. Check the ground

git switch main && git pull --ff-only
git status --short
jq -r .version .claude-plugin/plugin.json
sed -n '1,40p' CHANGELOG.md

Stop and report if: the tree is dirty, main is not current, or CHANGELOG.md has no ## [Unreleased] section with real entries under it. An empty Unreleased section means there is nothing to release — say so rather than cutting an empty version.

2. Pick the version

SemVer at 0.x, based on what is actually under ## [Unreleased]:

  • MINOR (0.8.00.9.0) if there is anything under ### Added, or a ### Changed entry that alters behaviour users rely on. New style preset, new provider, new env var.
  • PATCH (0.8.00.8.1) only if every entry is under ### Fixed.

Never hide a feature in a patch. State the version and the reason in one line before proceeding.

3. Edit the two files

Only these two carry a version. marketplace.json does not pin one — leave it.

CHANGELOG.md — three edits:

  1. ## [Unreleased]## [<version>] - <today, YYYY-MM-DD>. Get today's date with date +%F; do not guess it.
  2. Add a comparison link ref in the block at the bottom, directly above the previous version's line: [<version>]: https://github.com/gvzdv/claudish-to-english/compare/v<previous>...v<version>
  3. Repoint the Unreleased ref: [Unreleased]: https://github.com/gvzdv/claudish-to-english/compare/v<version>...HEAD

Leave the [Unreleased] ref in place but do not re-add an empty ## [Unreleased] heading — this repo adds that heading only when there is something to put under it.

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.
