release-engineering

release-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from magnus919/agent-skills. It costs 158 tokens per session (3,382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A discipline for moving software from a code change to users through controlled processes and automated pipelines. It covers release stages, versioning, artifacts, quality checks, gradual rollouts, and rollback plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design CI/CD pipelines, release trains, canary deployments, feature-flag rollouts, versioning rules, changelogs, release gates, and rollback runbooks.
Why use it?
It reduces release risk by making deployments repeatable and by checking readiness before software reaches users.

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-engineering 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (scripts/changelog_check.py, scripts/dora_metrics.py, scripts/release_plan_scaffold.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Engineering

Senior-to-principal release engineering methodology: designing and operating the pipelines, processes, artifacts, gates, compliance evidence, and metrics that move software from commit to customer safely, predictably, and fast.

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.
