    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

app-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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release

Overview

Release is done by pushing a v* tag. CI validates the release metadata, builds all platforms, creates a GitHub Release, and then updates the website version and Homebrew cask. Manual steps: update the changelog and version files, commit them together, then tag and push. The workflow is asynchronous: after a successful tag push, report that the release was triggered; do not wait for CI unless the user explicitly asks.

Announce at start: "I'm using the release skill to ship a new version."

When to Use

digraph when_release {
    "User asks to release/ship/publish?" [shape=diamond];
    "Use this skill" [shape=box];
    "Homebrew 404 or artifact-not-found after a tag push?" [shape=diamond];
    "Use this skill" [shape=box];
    "Pre-release checks (code review, QA)?" [shape=diamond];
    "Not this skill — use requesting-code-review" [shape=box];

    "User asks to release/ship/publish?" -> "Use this skill" [label="yes"];
    "User asks to release/ship/publish?" -> "Homebrew 404 or artifact-not-found after a tag push?" [label="no"];
    "Homebrew 404 or artifact-not-found after a tag push?" -> "Use this skill" [label="yes"];
    "Homebrew 404 or artifact-not-found after a tag push?" -> "Pre-release checks (code review, QA)?" [label="no"];
    "Pre-release checks (code review, QA)?" -> "Not this skill — use requesting-code-review" [label="yes"];
}

Use when:

  • User says "release", "ship", "publish", "new version", "bump version"
  • Homebrew cask update failed (404 on DMG URLs)
  • CI create-release job failed to find artifacts

Don't use for:

  • Code review before releasing
  • Deciding WHAT version number (ask the user)
  • Feature work or bug fixes

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.
