release-pilot

A repository-local release-planning guide for Specsmith, a governed software project. It checks release conditions but does not publish packages or create tags.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps maintainers assess release readiness, prepare a corrected commit after a failed release, and choose a new version when a published release needs correction.
Why use it?
It prevents unsafe or incomplete releases by requiring review, validation, and a final pre-release seal. It also treats published versions and tags as permanent.

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-pilot 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.

What it actually says

Specsmith Release Pilot

This repository-local skill governs release planning only. The public installed CLI does not release Specsmith: it can perform generic read-only validation, but self-bootstrap, tag creation, and publication are private CI responsibilities.

Before recommending a release action, require a reviewed fixed-point release branch, a candidate-wheel bootstrap result, a zero-diff closure result, and a pre-release seal. Never recommend specsmith release, tag force-updates, skip-existing publication, source mutation after tagging, or committing a post-publication receipt back into the released commit.

If a release fails before publication, prepare a new reviewed commit. If it fails after publication, publish a corrected new version; published tags and versions are immutable.

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.

release-pilot 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 155 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.
