citevahti-release

citevahti-release is a skill for Claude Code from heidihelena/citevahti. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,607 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release checklist for CiteVahti, a citation-integrity tool that checks whether research claims are supported by sources. It coordinates version changes, feature checks across its different versions, changelog entries, release identifiers, and rollback notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting, tagging, or shipping a release, bumping versions, checking feature parity, writing release notes, minting a DOI, or preparing a rollback.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that one version of the product differs from another or that a release misses a required evaluation or safety 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

citevahti-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 11d 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.

CiteVahti release — parity and shipping

This skill is the release checklist, not the release mechanics. The mechanics — safety gate, offline build/test gate, signing, Trusted Publishing — live in the secure-release skill (.claude/skills/secure-release/SKILL.md) and its canonical docs (docs/RELEASING.md, desktop-extension/BUILD.md, docs/SAFETY_INVARIANTS.md). Read secure-release and run its three gates in order; this skill adds the production-push gates around them. Never reconstruct either from memory.

Triggers

Use when the maintainer asks to: cut/ship/tag a release, bump the version, check surface parity before shipping, write release notes, mint a DOI for a release, or prepare rollback notes.

Do NOT use for: day-to-day development (no release intent), or the accuracy measurement itself (citevahti-eval — this skill only consumes its verdict).

Release order — gates before mechanics

Gate 0 — the eval gate (production-push addition)

Once acceptance thresholds are pre-registered in validation/claimcheck/, every release starts by checking the citevahti-eval verdict: a scored ledger at or above every pre-registered floor, measured on (or unchanged since) the code being released.

  • No scored ledger, or any floor missed → stop. No release. File the gap.
  • Pass → record the numbers; they ship with the release notes and the eval-results page.

(Until thresholds are first pre-registered, note explicitly in the release notes that the release predates the accuracy gate — don't let the gap ride silently.)

Gates 1–3 — safety, build/test, release/update

These are secure-release §1–§3, unchanged and in order:

  1. Safety gate — did the change weaken an invariant? (docs/SAFETY_INVARIANTS.md)
  2. Build & test gate — full offline suite, pytest -m security, VS Code compile, artifact-contents checks, smoke-run of frozen artifacts.
  3. Release & update gate — version lockstep across all nine tracked version-bearing files: seven hand-edited (pyproject.toml, src/citevahti/__init__.py, vscode-extension/package.json, desktop-extension/manifest.json, desktop-extension/manifest.binary.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, server.json — two slots) plus two regenerated lockfiles (vscode-extension/package-lock.json, uv.lock), CHANGELOG.md section + docs/STATUS.md header, PR off a branch with explicit staged paths, the five required checks (pytest py3.10 / py3.12, VS Code compile, ruff, mypy — read the live list from branch protection, not from memory), squash-merge, gh release create vX.Y.Z → Trusted Publishing + desktop builds (the only two release-triggered workflows — MCP registry, Marketplace, and Open VSX are separate manual publishes), then confirm the published version actually reports itself.

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.
