release

release is a skill for Codex from kreek/consult. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,018 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 16d 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 asks for release prep, versioning, changelog, 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.
  • A repo validator requires release artifact sync for an approved change.

When NOT to Use

  • Starting release work because a change might later need it. Note the risk in workflow and ask at the concrete release-prep decision point.
  • Triggering deploys, rollbacks, promotions, production config, flag flips, DNS, or infrastructure applies. Prepare the command or checklist for a human.
  • Database DDL safety; pair with database. Local bootstrap; use scaffolding.

Rules

  1. Release is a late gate. Implementation approval is not release approval.
  2. Agents prepare evidence, notes, checks, runbooks, and command plans. Humans run anything that mutates a shared environment, including staging config and feature flags. Report agent-run checks and human-run commands separately.
  3. Classify per release unit. In a monorepo, each library, CLI, plugin manifest, or container may have its own stream; lockstep bumps need repo policy or user approval. Use the higher plausible bump when compatibility is unclear.
  4. Release artifacts move together: manifests, committed lockfile, CHANGELOG entry, tag plan, dependency ranges, package metadata, publish order. Validate dependency resolution, dry-run packaging, and registry state before any tag plan.
  5. Ask before keeping lockfile or package-manager changes produced by a validation run.
  6. Prove a release script's scope matches the selected release units before trusting it to bump artifacts.
  7. Rollback must be faster than fix-forward and covers data, caches, config, and external side effects, not only code. Keep canary or progressive gates or name the equivalent.
  8. Feature flags default off and carry an owner, expiry, cleanup work, and a human-owned production change path. Kill-switches for existing behavior are the exception.

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.
