release-governed

release-governed is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from layer1labs/specsmith. It costs 0 tokens per session (596 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A governance profile for agents handling software releases. A software release is the process of preparing and publishing a new version of a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate release work across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, PyPI, and other supported platforms, while checking permissions and required steps.
Why use it?
It provides checks and rules for managing releases, repositories, pull requests, continuous integration, and several code-hosting platforms.

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-governed 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 4d 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 Governed Profile

Requirements Covered

Governance Requirements

  • REQ-012: Least-Privilege Agent Permissions
  • REQ-217: Agent Permissions Check
  • REQ-220: Policy Guardrails
  • REQ-244: Context Window Sizing
  • REQ-245: Live Context Fill Indicator
  • REQ-246: Auto Context Compression
  • REQ-247: Hard Context Ceiling
  • REQ-065: GitHub Release Creation
  • REQ-066: PyPI Deployment
  • REQ-067: CI Management
  • REQ-068: Pull Request Management
  • REQ-069: GitLab and Bitbucket Support
  • REQ-070: Repository Management
  • REQ-071: Non-GitHub Platform Support

Core Principle

The release-governed profile is designed for agents operating in release management environments. It ensures compliance with Specsmith governance while managing the complex requirements of software releases across multiple platforms.

Profile Characteristics

Required Skills

  • preflight-gate
  • governed-agent-loop
  • requirement-author
  • testcase-author
  • traceability-auditor
  • context-pack-compiler
  • token-budget-auditor
  • skill-composer
  • git
  • release
  • execution

Environment-Specific Features

  • Release management environment integration
  • Context window optimization for release processes
  • Compliance with release management policies
  • Integration with multiple platform release systems (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, PyPI, etc.)

Implementation Details

Release-Specific Execution

  1. Leverage release management capabilities for version control and deployment
  2. Optimize context windows to fit release process constraints
  3. Apply Specsmith governance rules within release environments
  4. Maintain traceability between release actions and Specsmith requirements

Context Management

  • Optimize context for release management requirements
  • Apply release-specific compression techniques
  • Ensure context fits within release constraints while maintaining traceability
  • Track release management usage and performance metrics

Configuration

Default Behavior

By default, the release-governed profile:

  • Integrates with multiple release platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, PyPI)
  • Optimizes context for release management processes
  • Maintains full Specsmith governance compliance
  • Tracks release management metrics

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-governed is a skill published in the GitHub repository layer1labs/specsmith (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 596 tokens. 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.
