release-version

A release procedure for the r-shell project that updates version information, prepares changelog notes, creates a Git tag, and drafts a GitHub release. A GitHub release is a published record of a specific version of a code project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for patch, minor, or major releases, version bumps, changelog updates, tags, and draft GitHub releases.
Why use it?
It gathers the version-bumping and release steps into one repeatable process, reducing the chance of missing a file or release note.

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-version 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.

Release New Version & Draft GitHub Release

Bumps the project version across all config files, updates the CHANGELOG, pushes a tag, and creates a draft GitHub release using gh.

When to Use

  • Releasing a new patch, minor, or major version of r-shell
  • Creating a GitHub draft release with changelog notes
  • Tagging a new version and pushing to origin

Procedure

1. Determine Bump Type

Ask (or infer from the argument) whether this is a patch, minor, or major bump:

Type When Example
patch Bug fixes, small tweaks 1.2.3 → 1.2.4
minor New features, backward-compatible 1.2.3 → 1.3.0
major Breaking changes 1.2.3 → 2.0.0

2. Run the Version Bump Script

# Replace <type> with patch, minor, or major
pnpm run version:<type>

This updates all version locations atomically and creates a git commit:

  • package.json
  • cli/Cargo.toml
  • cli/Cargo.lock
  • CHANGELOG.md (adds a skeleton section)

Read the new version from package.json:

node -p "require('./package.json').version"

3. Update CHANGELOG.md

First, get the actual commits since the previous tag. Find the previous tag and list every commit:

PREV_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | sed -n '2p')   # second-newest tag
git log "${PREV_TAG}..HEAD" --oneline --no-merges

⚠️ CRITICAL — Do NOT fabricate changelog entries. Every bullet point MUST correspond to a commit in the output above. Do not copy bullets from older versions, do not invent features, and do not summarize the whole project history.

Open CHANGELOG.md and fill in the new version section that the script created. Replace the placeholder lines with actual release notes derived strictly from the commit list, grouped under:

  • ### Added — new features (feat: commits)
  • ### Changed — modifications to existing behavior (refactor:, perf: commits)
  • ### Fixed — bug fixes (fix: commits)
  • ### Removed — anything deleted (omit section if empty)

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.
