untether-release

untether-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from littlebearapps/untether. It costs 47 tokens per session (657 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for preparing and shipping a versioned Untether release. It updates the changelog and matching version files, then follows the project's GitHub Actions release process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting a release, bumping the version, updating release documentation, creating a version tag, or starting the GitHub release workflow.
Why use it?
It reduces mismatches between the release tag, package version, source version, lockfile, and release notes that can stop automated publishing.

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

untether-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 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.

Untether Release

Overview

Prepare a tagged release that matches the GitHub Actions release workflow. The workflow requires the tag version to match both pyproject.toml and src/untether/__init__.py.

Workflow

1) Choose version + date

Pick the release version (major.minor.patch) and the release date (YYYY-MM-DD) for changelog/spec headers. If the current version has a .dev suffix, assume the target release version is the same version without the suffix, as long as that tag does not already exist.

2) Update changelog

Update changelog.md by adding a new top section. Before writing it, study the diff between the previous tag and the new release to rank changes; put user-facing changes first.

  • ## v<major.minor.patch> (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • Include subsections like changes, fixes, breaking, docs as needed.
  • Keep entries short and include PR links when available (match existing style).

3) Bump versions

Update version strings to match the release tag:

  • pyproject.toml: project.version = "<major.minor.patch>"
  • src/untether/__init__.py: __version__ = "<major.minor.patch>"
  • uv.lock: refresh so the root package version matches (run uv lock or uv sync).

4) Update spec + docs

Update docs/specification.md to match the release:

  • Header: # Untether Specification v<major.minor.patch> [YYYY-MM-DD]
  • Replace Untether v<old> and Out of scope for v<old> lines with the new version.
  • Add a changelog entry like - No normative changes; align spec version with the v<major.minor.patch> release. unless the spec itself changed.

If the release highlights new features, update readme.md accordingly (see v0.9.0 release).

5) Run checks

Run the standard checks before committing:

  • just check (ruff/ty/pytest)

6) Commit + tag

Commit the release using conventional commits:

  • Commit message: chore(release): v<major.minor.patch>
  • Tag: git tag v<major.minor.patch>

Push the tag to trigger .github/workflows/release.yml (build, PyPI publish, GitHub 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.
