elps: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from luthersystems/elps. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,507 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A workflow for creating a versioned GitHub release through the repository's release pipeline. The pipeline validates the version, writes release notes, creates the tag and release, and publishes related binaries and the VS Code extension.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cut a tagged release and publish the project's supported artifacts.
Why use it?
It avoids creating a release in a way that skips the publishing steps. It also treats a release as a production action that becomes visible outside the repository immediately.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is luthersystems/elps's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on elps itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything elps configures →

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 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 today.

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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/release — Create a GitHub Release

Cuts a tagged release by dispatching the repository's release pipeline, .github/workflows/release-tag.yml. The pipeline validates the version, generates release notes from the commits since the last stable tag, and creates the tag + GitHub Release with the official Claude App token; the tag-push event then triggers vscode-publish.yml (platform elps binaries + VS Code Marketplace extension).

Use the pipeline. Do not create the tag or release by hand. Two reasons, both documented in the workflow's own header:

  • A tag created with the default GITHUB_TOKEN (e.g. gh release create from a workflow, or an Actions-context push) does NOT trigger vscode-publish.yml — GitHub suppresses workflow→workflow events for that token. The release would exist but the binaries and extension would never publish.
  • Direct tag pushes are blocked from agent sandboxes, so git push origin vX.Y.Z is not available there anyway.

A release is externally visible immediately — the tag publishes the VS Code extension to the Marketplace. Treat cutting one as a production action.

Trigger

Use when asked to create a release, tag a release, cut a release, or ship a version.

Arguments

Optional: version bump type or explicit version.

  • patch (default) — bump patch: v1.44.0 -> v1.44.1
  • minor — bump minor: v1.44.0 -> v1.45.0
  • major — bump major: v1.44.0 -> v2.0.0
  • vX.Y.Z — explicit version

Workflow

1. Determine the version

git fetch --tags origin
LATEST=$(git tag --list 'v*' | grep -E '^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$' | sort -V | tail -1)
echo "Latest stable tag: $LATEST"
git log $LATEST..origin/main --oneline

If there are no unreleased commits, stop and say so. Compute the next version from the bump argument (or use the explicit version). The pipeline re-validates — exact vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format with no leading zeros, strictly newer than the latest stable tag by semver — and refuses anything else, so a wrong guess fails safely rather than shipping.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository luthersystems/elps (36 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,507 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 2026-10-26.
