release-archivist

release-archivist is a skill for Claude Code from MageByte-Zero/spec-superflow. It costs 42 tokens per session (973 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A closing workflow for a completed spec-superflow change that verifies the work, records results, summarizes it, and prepares its files for archiving. It includes different checks for quick changes, hotfixes, and larger changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementation is complete, verification is in progress, or a change needs its final checks, state updates, summary, and archive preparation.
Why use it?
It prevents finished work from being closed without verification evidence or a clear record of what changed.

    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

release-archivist 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 24d 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Archivist

Bundled runtime

Before executing a CLI line below, replace its leading SSF with node "<plugin-root>/scripts/spec-superflow.mjs"; <plugin-root> is the absolute directory two levels above this file. Never run SSF literally or call an ssf from PATH.

Read SSF resume <change-dir> --json. In executing, complete verification and logical closure. In closing, perform only recorded pending physical finish, if merging is authorized. abandoned or a completed finish requires no work. Other states route through workflow-start.

New direct/planned changes

Use SSF workflow complete <dir> --verification-command "<required check command>". It runs final verification once; do not run the identical full suite immediately before invoking it. Planned execution additionally checks completed tasks, current full-range/wave review and any delta-spec publication. Direct execution needs no plan or review receipt. Ordinary failures stay in executing for focused repair. Do not add DP-6/DP-7 or another approval to authorized code delivery.

If the user explicitly accepts unfinished work or failed verification, use SSF workflow complete <dir> --accept-risk --confirm --reason "<decision and remaining issues>". Preserve every failure and report accepted-risk, not verified success. This ends code delivery without merging or deleting the branch. A plain closing transition cannot bypass failed checks. For verified work, physical integration remains a separate authorized operation. The remaining closure steps are legacy compatibility.

Bounded paths

Quick/direct Hotfix/Tweak record changed files, focused command and result, persist test_result: pass, then transition to closing. Hotfix must prove the original symptom fixed. Lightweight also needs its receipt's focused review and passing verification evidence. These paths require no contract, execution plan, wave reviews, audit, DP-6/DP-7 or SSF finish.

Full / legacy Hotfix

  1. Verify the final code snapshot with required build/test/validation commands. Reuse fresh results only when the code, environment and command are identical; don't rerun the same full suite just because the skill changed.
  2. Check contract coverage, design consistency, scope and unresolved findings against the actual diff. Cite commands/results; do not infer success from edits or unchecked claims.
  3. Require the current plan's review policy: one final whole-range review for Native final, or the required wave receipts for wave/legacy plans. Do not request a duplicate review of unchanged evidence.
  4. Synchronize actual delta specs using spec-merger while executing. If specs were explicitly omitted and no delta exists, don't recreate them.
  5. Run SSF audit <dir> and record verification outcome (dp_6_result, timestamp and test_result). Record DP-7 only with the user's archive authorization already obtained or explicitly requested. Do not fabricate missing decisions.
  6. With blockers resolved, run SSF state transition <dir> closing. This is logical closure; it does not claim merge or cleanup succeeded.

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.
