jackin-release

jackin-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jackin-project/jackin-dev. It costs 45 tokens per session (860 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release procedure for Rust projects that checks readiness, prepares the changelog, recommends a version number, and runs the release command after explicit confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting a software release: run release checks, review the Unreleased changelog section, choose a version, and execute the configured cargo-release process.
Why use it?
Releasing changes several project files and publishes a version, so missed checks or an incomplete changelog can cause mistakes. The procedure stops on failed checks and requires the operator to confirm the irreversible step.

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

jackin-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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

jackin-release

Cut a release. The only irreversible skill in the suite — cargo release --execute bumps the version, rewrites the changelog header, tags, and pushes. Hard-gated on one explicit operator "yes"; nothing releases on assumption.

Orchestrates jackin-release-check (the gates) and jackin-release-notes (the changelog), then recommends a version from the changelog shape and cuts.

When to use

  • The operator asks to cut / ship / release a version.

When NOT to use

  • Just checking readiness → jackin-release-check.
  • Just updating the changelog → jackin-release-notes.

Prerequisites

cargo-release installed; gh authenticated; release.toml with pre-release-replacements for CHANGELOG.md; CHANGELOG.md with the <!-- next-header --> marker; .github/workflows/ci.yml.

Process

  1. Gates. Run jackin-release-check. A red gate stops — show the report and name what to fix. Warns surface; ask whether to continue.

    Done when every gate is green, or the operator accepted the warns.

  2. Changelog. Run jackin-release-notes. Present the [Unreleased] section; let the operator re-classify or reword.

    Done when the operator approves the changelog.

  3. Recommend a version. Read the approved [Unreleased] buckets: any Removed or "breaking" entry → major; any Addedminor; only Fixed / Changed / Security / Deprecatedpatch. Read the current version (grep '^version' Cargo.toml), compute the next, present the recommendation, wait.

    Done when the operator confirms the bump level.

  4. Commit the changelog. If CHANGELOG.md has uncommitted edits, git add CHANGELOG.md && git commit -m "docs: update changelog for vX.Y.Z".

  5. Final confirm. Show the summary — version, bump level, changelog shape, and the exact cargo release <level> --execute about to run (it bumps Cargo.toml, renames [Unreleased] to [X.Y.Z] - <date> via release.toml, tags, and pushes). Do not run it without an explicit "yes."

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.
