ring:generating-release-guides

ring:generating-release-guides is a skill for Cursor from LerianStudio/ring. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,744 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only tool that creates an internal update and migration guide from the differences between two Git versions. The guide can describe operational impact, deployment order, monitoring, and rollback notes in English, Brazilian Portuguese, or both.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare branches or tags, document release changes, explain client impact, and prepare deployment and rollback guidance.
Why use it?
It turns code changes into information an operations team can use during a release. Its safety modes help avoid changing the current repository while collecting the needed details.

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

ring:generating-release-guides 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 1mo 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 Guide — Ops Update Guide Generator

When to use

  • Preparing to release a new version
  • Need to document what changed between refs
  • Creating operational update guide
  • Communicating version updates to Ops team

Skip when

  • No git repository available
  • Single file change (too small for formal guide)
  • Customer-facing release notes only (use simpler template)

Inputs

  • BASE_REF (string, required): e.g. main, v1.0.0
  • TARGET_REF (string, required): e.g. HEAD, v1.1.0
  • VERSION (string, optional): auto-detected from tags if not provided
  • LANGUAGE (enum, optional, default en): en, pt-br, both
  • MODE (enum, optional, default STRICT_NO_TOUCH): STRICT_NO_TOUCH, TEMP_CLONE_FOR_FRESH_REFS

Produce an internal Operations-facing update/migration guide from git diff analysis.

Safety Modes

STRICT_NO_TOUCH (default): Read-only git commands only. Forbidden: fetch, pull, push, checkout, switch, reset, commit, merge, rebase. If ref doesn't exist locally → STOP and suggest TEMP_CLONE mode.

TEMP_CLONE_FOR_FRESH_REFS: Clone to temp dir, fetch refs there, run all analysis in clone, cleanup after. Never touches current repo.

Process

Step 0: Execution Location

Determine mode. In TEMP_CLONE mode, create isolated clone before proceeding.

Step 1: Resolve Refs

git rev-parse --verify BASE_REF^{commit}   # verify both refs exist
git rev-parse --verify TARGET_REF^{commit}
BASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse --short BASE_REF)
TARGET_SHA=$(git rev-parse --short TARGET_REF)

Step 1.5: Version Detection

# If TARGET_REF is a tag, extract version
# Note: avoid /i flag (GNU-specific); use explicit case alternation for portability (macOS + Linux)
if git tag -l "$TARGET_REF" | grep -q .; then
    AUTO_VERSION=$(echo "$TARGET_REF" | sed -E 's/^[Vv]//;s/^[Rr]elease[-_]?//;s/^[Vv]ersion[-_]?//')
fi
# Priority: explicit VERSION > auto-detected > none (omit from title)

Step 1.6: Commit Log Analysis

git log --oneline --no-merges BASE_REF...TARGET_REF
git log --pretty=format:"%h %s%n%b" --no-merges BASE_REF...TARGET_REF

Parse commit prefixes: feat: → Feature, fix: → Bug Fix, refactor: → Improvement, breaking: / BREAKING CHANGE: → Breaking.

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.

review

Structured code review with parallel audit agents, confidence-scored triage, and optional auto-fix. Examines uncommitted changes, staged diffs, commit ranges, or specific paths.
