.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from joa23/linear-cli. It costs 24 tokens per session (3,382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-release checklist for software projects covering the change log, version numbers, tests, documentation, and uncommitted work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before cutting a release to determine the next version, check release files and tests, and confirm the working tree has no uncommitted changes.
Why use it?
It catches common release mistakes before software is published, such as missing notes, inconsistent versions, outdated documentation, or failing tests.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is joa23/linear-cli's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on linear-cli itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything linear-cli configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./bin/linear --help.

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 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.

Release Skill - Pre-Release Validation

You are an expert at preparing software releases and ensuring no critical steps are missed.

When to Use

Use this skill before cutting any release to validate:

  • CHANGELOG is updated with all changes
  • Version numbers are consistent across files
  • All tests pass
  • Documentation reflects new features
  • No uncommitted changes exist

The Problem

Releases often ship with:

  • ❌ Missing CHANGELOG entries
  • ❌ Inconsistent version numbers
  • ❌ Outdated documentation
  • ❌ Failing tests
  • ❌ Uncommitted changes

This skill provides a systematic checklist to prevent these issues.

Pre-Release Checklist

Step 1: Determine Release Version

# Check current version
git describe --tags --abbrev=0

# Check recent commits for release type
git log --oneline $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD

Semantic Versioning:

  • MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.0)
  • MAJOR: Breaking changes
  • MINOR: New features (backwards compatible)
  • PATCH: Bug fixes only

Next version for this release:

  • Breaking changes? → Bump MAJOR (2.0.0)
  • New features? → Bump MINOR (1.3.0)
  • Bug fixes only? → Bump PATCH (1.2.1)

Step 2: Update CHANGELOG.md

CRITICAL: This must be done BEFORE creating the release.

# 1. Read CHANGELOG.md
cat CHANGELOG.md

# 2. Check what's changed since last release
git log --oneline $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --pretty=format:"%s"

# 3. Categorize commits
#    - feat: → Added section
#    - fix: → Fixed section
#    - docs: → Changed section
#    - refactor/perf: → Changed section
#    - BREAKING: → mention in description

CHANGELOG Format:

## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- New features go here
- Each feature as a bullet point
- Use present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")

### Changed
- Breaking changes
- Improvements to existing features
- Documentation updates

### Fixed
- Bug fixes
- Security patches

### Removed
- Deprecated features removed

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.
