release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kreek/consult. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,725 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for preparing software releases, including version changes, notes, migrations, rollout plans, and rollback plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing a release, updating a changelog, deciding version numbers, documenting breaking changes, or planning deployment and rollback steps.
Why use it?
It prevents release work from starting without a request or approval and keeps shared environments under human control.

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 3d 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

Iron Law

BREAKING CHANGES BUMP MAJOR. AGENTS PREPARE RELEASES; HUMANS MUTATE SHARED ENVIRONMENTS.

When to Use

  • The user explicitly asks for release prep, versioning, changelog work, release notes, tags, publish planning, rollout, rollback, deprecation, or migration notes.
  • The user approves release prep after a concrete diff exposes release artifacts or rollout obligations: manifests, CHANGELOG.md, package locks, plugin/package metadata, CI/CD gates, feature flags, migrations, publish scripts, or rollout plans.
  • A repo validator requires release artifact sync for an already-approved change.

When NOT to Use

  • Starting implementation because a change might later need versioning, changelog, packaging, registry, rollout, or deployment work. Note release risk in workflow and ask only at the concrete release-prep decision point.
  • Triggering deploys, rollbacks, promotions, approvals, production config changes, feature-flag flips, DNS changes, infrastructure applies, or other shared-environment mutations. Prepare the command/checklist for a human.
  • Internal refactors with no caller-visible impact; use refactoring.
  • Local project bootstrap before release/deployment exists; use scaffolding.
  • Database DDL/data safety itself; pair with database.
  • Service monitoring and alert design; pair with observability.

Core Ideas

  1. Release is a late gate. Implementation approval is not release approval. Load this skill only after user request, user approval, or a required validator sync.
  2. Release classification starts with the release unit and public surface. In monorepos, one library, CLI, plugin manifest, container, meta-package, or lockstep package set may each have different release streams.
  3. Compatibility uses the highest required bump for the release unit: breaking change is major, compatible addition is minor, fix/docs/internal is patch.
  4. Release artifacts must agree: manifest, committed lockfile, CHANGELOG header, tag plan, dependency ranges, package metadata, and publish order.
  5. Agents prepare release evidence, notes, checks, runbooks, and command plans. Humans mutate shared environments.
  6. Rollback must be faster than emergency fix-forward. Feature flags need owner, expiry, cleanup, safe default, and human-owned production change path.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
