release-archivist

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.

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 2d 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 — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Archivist

Finish a spec-superflow change cleanly with verification evidence. This skill operates while the change state is executing; it is not an active skill after the final transition to closing.

Execution-State Guard

Before verification, ssf audit, any DP state write, or delta-spec merge, run ssf state get <change-dir> state. Continue only when the persisted state is exactly executing. If it is closing → STOP: "Closing is terminal; release, audit, and archival work were completed before this transition." For any other state, or if the state cannot be read → STOP and route through workflow-start; do not perform side effects.

Direct Short-Path Closure (run before the Full checklist)

For Quick, Tweak, or a valid direct incident Hotfix receipt, skip the Full verification, audit, delta merge, DP-6, and DP-7 sections below. Record changed files, the focused verification command and result, then persist test_result: pass and transition to closing. Quick requires a targeted test or syntax/static check; direct Hotfix requires an original-symptom regression. A legacy Hotfix stays on the Full checklist.

Full/Legacy Verification Before Completion

The Full checklist below applies only to Full and legacy Hotfix. Direct Short-Path Closure above takes precedence for Quick, Tweak, and valid direct Hotfix.

Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency. Before claiming any status:

  1. IDENTIFY the command that proves the claim
  2. RUN the full command fresh
  3. READ output, check exit code
  4. VERIFY output confirms the claim
  5. Only THEN make the claim

Forbidden before evidence: "should", "probably", "seems to", expressions of satisfaction without output.

Claim Requires Not Sufficient
Tests pass Test output: 0 failures Previous run, "should pass"
Linter clean Linter output: 0 errors Partial check
Build succeeds Build exit 0 Linter passing
Bug fixed Original symptom passes Code changed
Requirements met Line-by-line checklist Tests passing

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-archivist is a skill published in the GitHub repository MageByte-Zero/spec-superflow (776 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,929 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
