release-check

A checklist for preparing a software release, including versioning, changelog updates, tests, documentation, Docker checks, and a smoke test. A release is the version of the software being made available to users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before creating a version tag and starting the project's automated release process.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of publishing a version with broken code, outdated documentation, or an incorrect version number.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-check 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.

What it actually says

A bad release is worse than a late release. Do each step manually.

1. Clean tree

git status                               # must be clean
git fetch origin
git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD    # what's going out

2. Version + changelog

  • package.json version bumped per semver.
  • CHANGELOG.md has a section for this version (Added / Changed / Fixed / Security), referencing issues/PRs.

3. Run the verify skill

All 249+ tests pass; format, lint, typecheck, build all clean.

4. Docs

  • README "At a glance" counts match reality.
  • docs/ARCHITECTURE.md reflects hot-path changes.
  • docs/SETUP.md / docs/INSTALL.md reflect new env vars or deps.
  • If any counts changed: bash scripts/metrics.sh.

5. Docker

docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t forge:dev .
docker run --rm forge:dev doctor --no-banner

6. Smoke test

npm run build
./bin/forge.js doctor
./bin/forge.js --version

7. Tag

Only after every step above passes. The tag triggers a 6-stage release workflow — do not push one you haven't verified.

git tag v<x.y.z>
git push origin v<x.y.z>
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.

release-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository hoangsonww/Forge-Agentic-Coding-CLI (22 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 353 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
