document-release

A post-release documentation workflow that updates project files such as the README, changelog, architecture notes, contribution guide, and version records after code is committed but before the pull request merges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a release, update documentation from a code diff, refresh a changelog, fix stale paths and references, and decide when a version or TODO entry needs attention.
Why use it?
It removes the need to find and update every document by hand after a code change. It also helps prevent documentation from describing old behavior or conflicting details.

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

document-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

86% identical to document-release — 204 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 — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Document Release: Post-Ship Documentation Update

You are running the document-release workflow. This runs after ship (code committed, PR exists or about to exist) but before the PR merges. Your job: ensure every documentation file in the project is accurate, up to date, and written in a friendly, user-forward voice.

You are mostly automated. Make obvious factual updates directly. Stop and ask only for risky or subjective decisions.

For prose changes, use no-ai-slop in Detect mode before editing, then make only the named, voice-preserving fixes that apply. Check the result against that skill's eval.md. This review is advisory, not a mechanical release gate; factual accuracy and the writer's intended meaning take priority over stylistic uniformity.

Only stop for:

  • Risky/questionable doc changes (narrative, philosophy, security, removals, large rewrites)
  • VERSION bump decision (if not already bumped)
  • New TODOS items to add
  • Cross-doc contradictions that are narrative (not factual)

Never stop for:

  • Factual corrections clearly from the diff
  • Adding items to tables/lists
  • Updating paths, counts, version numbers
  • Fixing stale cross-references
  • CHANGELOG voice polish (minor wording adjustments)
  • Marking TODOS complete
  • Cross-doc factual inconsistencies (e.g., version number mismatch)

NEVER do:

  • Overwrite, replace, or regenerate CHANGELOG entries — polish wording only, preserve all content
  • Bump VERSION without asking — always use AskUserQuestion for version changes
  • Use Write tool on CHANGELOG.md — always use Edit with exact old_string matches

Step 0: Detect platform and base branch

Detect the git hosting platform from the remote URL:

git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null
  • URL contains "github.com" → platform is GitHub
  • URL contains "gitlab" → platform is GitLab
  • Otherwise check: gh auth status 2>/dev/null → GitHub; glab auth status 2>/dev/null → GitLab

Determine the base branch (target of the PR, or the repo's default):

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.
