release-engine

release-engine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from igmarin/rails-agent-skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (913 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release checklist for publishing a Rails engine, a reusable part of a Ruby on Rails application, as a versioned gem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a patch, minor, or major version, update release notes, run the test suite, verify package metadata, and dry-run the gem build.
Why use it?
It prevents releases from missing the required version change, changelog entry, compatibility checks, or test results.

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-engine 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 9d 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 opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Engine

Use this skill when the task is to ship a Rails engine as a gem or prepare a new version.

Quick Reference

Bump When to use Action
Patch Bug fixes and internal changes without public behavior breakage Update version constant, document under Fixed
Minor Backward-compatible features and new extension points Update version constant, document under Added/Changed
Major Breaking changes to API, setup, routes, migrations, config, or supported framework versions Update version constant, document under Changed/Deprecated; write explicit upgrade notes

HARD-GATE

DO NOT release without updating CHANGELOG and version file.

Core Process

  1. Confirm scope and compatibility impact — is this patch, minor, or major?
  2. Run full test suite: bundle exec rspec. Fix all failures before proceeding.
  3. Set the version bump — update the version constant once: module MyEngine; VERSION = "1.2.0"; end in lib/my_engine/version.rb.
  4. Update changelog and upgrade notes.
  5. Verify gemspec metadata and dependencies match tested Rails/Ruby versions.
  6. Dry-run the gem build: gem build *.gemspec && gem push --dry-run *.gem. Verify contents.
  7. Confirm installation docs and README match the release — update if needed.
  8. Publish: gem push *.gem.

Extended Resources

Load release assets conditionally and say which one informed the output:

  • Read assets/release_checklist.md when producing the release verification checklist or quality gates.
  • Read assets/release_notes_template.md when drafting GitHub release notes, a long-form announcement, or public release copy.
  • Read assets/examples.md only when the user needs concrete release examples.

Changelog Guidelines

  • Document user-visible changes, not commits; group by Added/Changed/Fixed/Deprecated.
  • For deprecations, document removal plan and replacement; keep deprecated code for at least one minor cycle.
  • If the engine requires host changes during upgrade, document them explicitly even if the version bump is minor.

4 files 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.
