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

deploy-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 2d 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 Creation Command

Create GitHub releases using release-please automation or manual release workflows for containerized applications.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use deploy-handoff instead when...
Cutting a new release from main and tagging a version Documenting an already-deployed service for another developer or client
Setting up or auditing release-please automation and manifests Generating access URLs, monitoring links, and onboarding checklists for a deployed resource
Publishing a manual GitHub release, draft, or pre-release Producing handoff prose for a ticket rather than cutting a version
Driving the version-tag side of a containerized release pipeline Building or hardening container images themselves (use container-development)

Context

  • Git remotes: !git remote -v
  • Branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Recent tags: !git tag --sort=-v:refname -l 'v*' --format='%(refname:short)' -n5
  • Last release commit: !git log --oneline --max-count=5
  • Release config: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'release-please-config.json'
  • Manifest: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name '.release-please-manifest.json'
  • Changelog: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'CHANGELOG.md'

Parameters

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

  • $1 (VERSION): Semantic version string (e.g., 1.2.0, v2.0.0-rc.1)
  • --draft: Create release as draft (not published)
  • --prerelease: Mark as pre-release

Execution

Execute this release workflow:

Step 1: Determine release strategy

Check whether the project uses release-please or manual releases:

  1. If release-please-config.json exists, use the release-please workflow
  2. If no release-please config exists, use the manual release workflow

Step 2a: Release-please workflow

If release-please is configured:

  1. Verify conventional commits exist since last release tag
  2. Check for an open release PR: gh pr list --label "autorelease: pending" --json number,title,url
  3. If a release PR exists, report its status and URL
  4. If no release PR exists, explain that release-please creates PRs automatically from conventional commits
  5. Provide guidance on merging the release PR to trigger the release

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.
