Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00020 | $0.01018 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00407 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00204 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00102 |
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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
workflowand 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; usescaffolding.
Rules
- Release is a late gate. Implementation approval is not release approval.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ask before keeping lockfile or package-manager changes produced by a validation run.
- Prove a release script's scope matches the selected release units before trusting it to bump artifacts.
- 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.
- 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 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.
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 kreek/consult (1 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,018 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
