release-draft

A release workflow for the Lore project, covering version updates, documentation, a pull request, a GitHub release, a matching tag, and npm publishing. A pull request is a proposed code change for review; npm is a package registry for JavaScript software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare or publish a Lore release, create its changelog, merge the release pull request, tag the version, and trigger npm publishing.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the project’s release order and versioning rules, including keeping package files in sync.

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-draft 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.

Draft Lore Release

Purpose

Run Lore's release workflow end to end:

  • inspect the delta since the latest release
  • refresh docs based on that delta
  • bump the version in both package.json and package-lock.json
  • open a release PR
  • merge the PR
  • publish a GitHub release with a clear changelog and matching git tag
  • trigger the npm publish workflow in .github/workflows/publish.yml

Repo-specific facts

  • Release tags use the format vX.Y.Z.
  • The package version must stay in sync in both package.json and package-lock.json.
  • Publishing is triggered by a published GitHub release, not by a local tag push alone.
  • .github/workflows/publish.yml runs on release.published, so the GitHub release must be published after the PR is merged.

Instructions

When the user asks to draft, prepare, cut, or publish a release:

  1. Find the release baseline

    • Read the latest GitHub release and latest tag.
    • Compare the current target branch, normally main, against that release tag.
    • Build a release delta from commits, merged PRs, changed files, and any docs that are now stale.
  2. Decide the target version

    • If the user supplied a version, use it.
    • If the user did not supply a version, infer the likely next semver bump from the delta and ask for confirmation before changing files.
    • Always use vX.Y.Z for tags and X.Y.Z inside package files.
  3. Refresh documentation from the release delta

    • Review the changes since the last release and update any docs that no longer match reality.
    • Check at least README.md and docs/architecture.md, plus any other documentation affected by the changed behavior.
    • Do not treat docs as optional for a release PR.
    • The release PR should include doc refreshes when the delta changes behavior, APIs, workflows, architecture, or supported capabilities.
  4. Create a release branch

    • Create a branch for the release work, for example release/vX.Y.Z.
    • Never push the release changes directly to main.

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.
