A release procedure for the ntucool project, covering version updates, tests, publishing, and tagged builds. A release is a published project version that users can install or download.

Preparing and checking a release, bumping workspace and plugin versions, pushing changes, creating a version tag, and triggering prebuilt binary builds on GitHub.

It prevents the project’s binary and Claude Code plugin from carrying mismatched versions, which could stop updates from being detected.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00099	$0.01855
Opus 5.5	$0.00040	$0.00742
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00371
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00186

Security

Grade C, and why

releasing scanned grade C with 2 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 2mo 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.

Releasing ntucool

ntucool ships two artifacts on every release that have independent version sources in the repo:

Artifact	Version source	Distribution channel	Trigger
`cool` binary	`[workspace.package] version` in root `Cargo.toml` (+ 3 internal path-dep pins)	GitHub Release via cargo-dist	`git push <tag>` matching `v*`
Claude Code plugin	`version` in `plugins/ntucool/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`	Claude Code's plugin update reads `marketplace.json` from `origin/main` and diffs `plugin.json` versions	`git push origin main`

Both must bump for a release to flow end-to-end. Skipping the plugin bump is a silent failure — Claude Code's plugin update won't notice anything changed (it keys on plugin.json version, not git tags).

Pre-flight (run before bumping)

cargo test --workspace --quiet
cargo check -p ntucool --quiet

Quick MCP smoke (kept in scripts/):

cargo build --release -p ntucool --quiet
(printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"smoke","version":"0"}}}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}\n'; sleep 0.5) \
  | timeout 5 ./target/release/cool mcp 2>/dev/null \
  | grep -o '"name":"[^"]*"' | wc -l   # expect ≥ 24

Tag the current expected tool count somewhere and treat a deviation as a regression — past releases settled at 24 - 25.

The bump matrix (5 lines, in 4 files)

Same OLD → NEW substitution everywhere:

Cargo.toml:                         [workspace.package] version
cool-cli/Cargo.toml (2 lines):      path-dep pins to cool-api, cool-tools
cool-tools/Cargo.toml:              path-dep pin to cool-api
cool-tui/Cargo.toml:                path-dep pin to cool-api
plugins/ntucool/.claude-plugin/plugin.json:  version

One-liner that bumps all five at once (verify the match list first):

OLD=0.0.2 NEW=0.0.3
sed -i "s/version = \"$OLD\"/version = \"$NEW\"/g" \
  Cargo.toml cool-cli/Cargo.toml cool-tools/Cargo.toml cool-tui/Cargo.toml
sed -i "s/\"version\": \"$OLD\"/\"version\": \"$NEW\"/" plugins/ntucool/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
cargo check -p ntucool --quiet  # touches Cargo.lock
git diff --stat

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.

releasing is a skill published in the GitHub repository kc0506/ntucool (10 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 1,855 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
