power-platform-developer-suite: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from joshsmithxrm/power-platform-developer-suite. It costs 52 tokens per session (8,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release checklist and workflow for the PPDS software packages, covering change logs, version numbers, tags, publishing, and post-release checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare prereleases or stable releases for the CLI, terminal interface, MCP server, extension, and NuGet libraries.
Why use it?
It reduces missed steps when publishing a prerelease or stable version across several package types and interfaces.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is joshsmithxrm/power-platform-developer-suite's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on power-platform-developer-suite 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 power-platform-developer-suite configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/workflow-state.py set phase release.

  • high Rogue Agent · line 607
    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 638 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release

End-to-end release ceremony for PPDS. Produces CHANGELOGs, version bumps, tags, and triggers the CI publishing workflows. Use for prereleases (*-beta.N) and stable releases (1.0.0, 1.1.0, etc.) alike — the mechanics are identical, version suffixes differ.

When to Use

  • "Let's cut a release"
  • "Time for a new prerelease"
  • "Ship v1.0.0"
  • "Bump all the packages"
  • Scheduled release cadence

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Implement a hot-fix — use /pr; after merge, use the Patch Release Procedure and its explained scope advisory before choosing tags
  • Documentation-only updates — those don't need a release
  • Pre-public-release key rotation — that's a separate operation

Usage

  • /release — default to prerelease flow
  • /release prerelease — explicit prerelease
  • /release stable v1.0.0 — stable release, version specified

Prerequisites

Before starting:

  1. All in-flight PRs are merged or explicitly deferred. Running a release with open feature PRs means either you forget to include them or you rush-merge. Decide first.
  2. No broken CI on main. Check gh run list --branch main --limit 5. If CI is red, fix first.
  3. Security review done for stable releases (enforced). Prereleases can skip; stable (vX.Y.0) must have a completed /security-review artifact at docs/qa/security-review-*.md covering the diff since the last stable release. The pre-merge verification step (Step 6) checks for this file — the release cannot proceed without it. Patches (vX.Y.Z where Z > 0) do not require a security review.
  4. Known the last release commit and/or tags. The CHANGELOG enumeration is "since when?". Grab the previous release commit hash:
    git log --grep='chore(release)' --oneline -5
    

Process

1. Register Phase and Create Release Worktree

python scripts/workflow-state.py set phase release

Note: release is a custom phase for this skill. Nothing enforces workflow phases anymore — the workflow-enforcement hooks were extracted with the personal automation harness (#1315) — so the phase registration is purely an audit-trail entry in .workflow/state.json.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository joshsmithxrm/power-platform-developer-suite (7 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 8,019 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
