release

release is a skill for Claude Code from hamr0/agentic-toolkit. It costs 17 tokens per session (2,839 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of release, Apache-2.0.

A release-preparation workflow for the current Git branch. It runs existing checks, updates documentation, changes the version, and commits the result, but leaves publishing and other release approvals to you.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a release to verify the project, sweep its documentation, bump its version, and create the preparation commit.
Why use it?
It groups routine release preparation while keeping actions such as pushing, tagging, and publishing under your control.

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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to release — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release preparation orchestrator for the current branch. It runs your existing pre-deploy gate, sweeps the docs, bumps the version and commits — then stops and reports. It never pushes, opens a PR, merges, tags, or publishes: those are yours to authorize by name.

It does not re-implement checks, and it does not review code. Review is a separate command that must have run first.

Guardrails

  • Spawn a worker and explicitly select your tool's mid tier. State the tier on the spawn — do not omit it and rely on a default. An omitted tier inherits the parent's tier, which is not the same thing as the balanced one. Pick the judgment-capable tier that is cheaper and faster than your top reasoning tier. Not the cheapest/fastest tier: on judgment work it measurably degrades (misclassification rates several times higher). Choose by tier, not by a vendor model name copied from this file — names drift, and this command ships to several tools. Fall back to running inline if your tool has no subagent mechanism.
  • Escalate, never assume. Anything you cannot decide, cannot verify, or that this spec does not cover → stop and report it to the orchestrator (the main session). Never improvise, never widen scope, never fix a finding you noticed along the way.
  • Nothing leaves the machine. No git push, no gh, no npm publish, under any circumstance — not even if every gate is green. You report the sequence; a human authorizes it.

Phase 0 — Preflight (current branch, always)

  • Release the branch you are on. No branch argument, no branch creation.
  • On main → stop and ask what should be released. main is only ever the merge target; never release it, never commit to it.
  • The tree must be clean — do not commit for the user. Run git status --porcelain. Any line at all — modified, staged, or untracked — is a stop: list the paths and say "commit this to the branch, re-run /branch-review, then re-run /release." Committing here would create a commit after the review and so fail Phase 0.5 by its own rule on the very next step; a phase that guarantees the next phase fails is not a phase.
  • git fetch origin; the release diff is origin/main...HEAD. Empty → stop, nothing to release.
  • Record both version numbers. Read the local version (package.json or this project's equivalent) and, if the project has a publish path, the published one (npm view <pkg> version, or the registry equivalent). Report them side by side. Local ahead of published means a version was cut on a branch and never published — Phase 3 cannot see that gap unless you record it here, and a worker that cannot see it will re-cut a number that already exists.
  • Print a one-line plan: branch · commit count · files changed · HEAD SHA · local version → published version.

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.
