secure-release

secure-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hxy91819/mason-skills. It costs 82 tokens per session (793 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building and checking software release pipelines that publish packages such as npm modules. It covers identity checks, permissions, package verification, and publishing through GitHub Actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review npm release automation, move an existing release process to a safer design, and verify registry publishing with smoke tests and release readback.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a release from publishing the wrong source or an altered package. It also checks that the published package and GitHub release match what the pipeline produced.

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

secure-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (assets/secure-release-kit/v1/secure_release.py, assets/secure-release-kit/v1/test_secure_release.py), 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.

Secure Release

这是流程类 Skill,默认仅在用户显式调用 $secure-release 时运行。

Keep the agent-facing integration workflow separate from the runtime release components. A target repository's CI must work after this skill is removed.

Workflow

  1. Inspect repository instructions, Git state, manifests, release workflows, changelog policy, registry configuration, and existing published releases.
  2. Read protocol.md and classify each invariant as present, missing, conflicting, or not applicable.
  3. Read adapters.md. Select only an adapter whose status is implemented. Treat all other ecosystems as design targets, never as supported release paths.
  4. Prefer the versioned vendored kit in assets/secure-release-kit/v1/ for the shared deterministic checks. Copy it into the target repository, normally under .github/secure-release/v1/, and retain its tests.
  5. Create or migrate a thin workflow in the target repository. Keep its exact path, GitHub Environment, permissions, trigger, project checks, and adapter commands visible there. Pin external actions to reviewed commit SHAs.
  6. Configure the registry Trusted Publisher out of band using the target repository, exact workflow filename, and Environment shown in the thin workflow. Never put that identity in a reusable workflow hidden elsewhere.
  7. Exercise --help, unit tests, an offline fixture release, and fail-closed negative cases before enabling publication. Verify the packed contents.
  8. Run repository checks, privacy and Git-metadata review, then independently review the final workflow and kit diff.

Migration Rules

  • Preserve an existing release trigger until the replacement has an explicit cutover decision. Do not leave two workflows able to publish one version.
  • Build once in preflight, upload one named artifact bundle, and publish only downloaded bytes that pass the manifest SHA-256 check. Never rebuild in the privileged publish job.
  • Resolve the tag, version, commit, manifest, registry identity, and GitHub Release identity independently. Any mismatch or ambiguous network error is a hard failure.
  • Treat registry publication as irreversible. A rerun may verify an already published exact version, but must not silently overwrite or repoint it.
  • Keep project-specific build, test, package-content, and smoke assertions in the thin workflow or adapter configuration, not in the common protocol.
  • Do not require a Codex installation, this skill directory, or network access to this repository during CI execution.

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.

secure-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository hxy91819/mason-skills (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 793 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
