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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00048 | $0.03871 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.01548 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00774 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00387 |
Grade A, and why
release-management 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 1mo 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 — 425 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Release Management & Deployment Strategies
Purpose: Decision guides, versioning rules, deployment strategy selection, and release checklists. For full YAML examples and runbook templates, see the references/ directory.
When to Use This Skill
- Planning release pipelines and strategies
- Choosing deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling)
- Implementing automated release workflows
- Designing rollback procedures
- Setting up versioning with SemVer or CalVer
Prerequisites
- CI/CD pipeline infrastructure
- Version control system (Git)
Decision Tree
What release activity?
+-- Choosing deploy strategy?
| +-- Need instant rollback? -> Blue-Green or Feature Flags
| +-- Need gradual risk reduction? -> Canary
| +-- Default / simplest? -> Rolling
+-- Choosing version scheme?
| +-- Public API / library? -> SemVer (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
| +-- Time-based cadence? -> CalVer (YYYY.MM.DD)
| +-- Internal service / CD? -> Commit-based (v1.0.{count}+{sha})
+-- Planning rollback?
| +-- Database changes involved? -> Expand-Contract migration pattern
| +-- Stateless service? -> Redeploy previous artifact
| +-- Feature-flag controlled? -> Disable flag (instant)
+-- Automating releases?
+-- Conventional commits? -> Auto version bump + changelog
+-- Manual release notes? -> Tag-triggered pipeline + gh release
Quick-Start: Deployment Strategy Selection
Pick your strategy first - everything else follows from this choice.
| Strategy | Best For | Downtime | Rollback Speed | Infra Cost | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rolling | Most apps, K8s-native | None | Medium (pod-by-pod) | Same | Low |
| Blue-Green | Zero-downtime critical | None | Instant (swap) | 2 | Medium |
| Canary | Risk-sensitive releases | None | Medium (scale to 0) | +10-25% | High |
| Feature Flags | Gradual user rollout | None | Instant (toggle) | Same | Medium |
| Recreate | Dev/Test environments | Yes | Fast (redeploy) | Same | Low |

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-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository jnPiyush/AgentX (16 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 3,871 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
