herald-mail-app: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Codex from herald-email/herald-mail-app. It costs 84 tokens per session (2,068 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A workflow for releasing a Herald beta version. It covers reading the release instructions, reviewing changes since the previous tag, choosing a beta version, updating release notes, tagging and publishing, watching automated checks, and handling blockers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting, tagging, publishing, or repairing a Herald release, including updating its What's New pages and monitoring its automated checks.
Why use it?
It gives release work a defined sequence and helps catch problems that could stop publishing the new version.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is herald-email/herald-mail-app's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on herald-mail-app 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 herald-mail-app 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 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.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
