A release workflow for preparing and publishing a new software or plugin version. It coordinates version files, the changelog, checks, pull requests, Git tags, and continuous integration (automated build and test jobs).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a validated release and track the remaining human merge, tag, and CI gates.
Why use it?

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-creator 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (references/dhpk-deploy-list/evals/generic/fixtures/fixture-01-php-yii.sh, references/dhpk-deploy-list/evals/generic/fixtures/fixture-02-laravel.sh, references/dhpk-deploy-list/evals/generic/fixtures/fixture-03-node.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Release Creator

Resolve project-specific release judgment first; delegate the fixed mechanics to the tested runner.

$SKILL_DIR denotes the physical directory containing this SKILL.md; $PROJECT_DIR denotes the consumer project root. These are resolved path notations, not ambient environment-variable requirements. Run the local runner from the consumer project after the existing execution approval boundary.

Output

Return a release report containing the resolved configuration, changed version files, changelog result, validation result, runner phase, and the current merge/tag/CI gate. Stop with a blocked report when configuration is ambiguous, validation fails, the PR is not merged, or the tag-triggered workflow cannot be identified; do not infer a release success from a local edit or an unassociated CI run.

When NOT to Use

  • PHP package/library publishing: use $library-author composer.
  • Ordinary feature or bug commits: use $git-smart-commit.
  • The integration branch or required tests are not ready.

1. Resolve release config

  1. Follow project RELEASE.md when present.
  2. Otherwise inspect the relevant manifests and references/release-presets.md.
  3. Confirm these values with the user before execution:
Token Meaning Typical default
{VERSION_FILES} Lockstep version files package.json
{VALIDATE_CMD} Required validation npm test
{BASE_BRANCH} Integration branch main or develop
{RELEASE_BRANCH} Published branch main
{TAG_PREFIX} Tag prefix v
{CHANGELOG} Changelog file CHANGELOG.md
{RELEASE_WORKFLOW} Tag-triggered CI workflow release.yml

2. Author the release content

  • Update every {VERSION_FILES} entry to <version> in lockstep.
  • Add the release notes at the top of {CHANGELOG} using the exact heading format required by RELEASE.md/CI.
  • Run {VALIDATE_CMD} and stop on failure.
  • Confirm the workspace now contains only the intended release edits.

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.
