release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mahmoud/lithoxyl. It costs 3 tokens per session (1,531 once invoked), scanned C, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A release checklist and procedure for publishing the lithoxyl Python package. It uses calendar-based version numbers such as 26.0.1 and checks the repository, tests, version file, tags, and PyPI—the main public index for Python packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and publish a lithoxyl release, including choosing the version, updating the package version, running tests, and checking PyPI. It requires a clean working tree and a passing test suite before proceeding.
Why use it?
It prevents releases from starting with uncommitted changes, failing tests, an incorrect branch, or a version that is already published. It also explains how to handle a tag whose package was not successfully published.

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 C, and why

release scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release lithoxyl

lithoxyl uses CalVer: YY.MINOR.MICRO (e.g. 26.0.1). The version lives in lithoxyl/__init__.py as a __version__ literal string. During development it carries a dev suffix (e.g. 26.0.1dev). Flit reads this at build time.

Tags are bare CalVer (e.g. 26.0.1, NOT v26.0.1). The publish workflow triggers on tags matching [0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*.

Pre-flight checks

Before starting, verify ALL of these:

  1. Working tree is clean (git status shows nothing dirty/staged)
  2. You are on master branch
  3. lithoxyl/__init__.py has a dev suffix on __version__
  4. All tests pass: tox -p auto (or at minimum pytest lithoxyl/tests/ -v)
  5. Check what is actually published on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/lithoxyl/ PyPI is canonical. If the intended version already exists on PyPI, it cannot be re-released -- bump to the next version instead. If a local/GitHub tag exists for a version that is NOT on PyPI, the prior release failed and should be retried (see "Failed release" under Error recovery).

If any check fails, stop and report. Do not proceed with a dirty tree or failing tests.

Release steps

1. Determine the release version

Read __version__ from lithoxyl/__init__.py. Strip the dev suffix. Example: 26.0.1dev becomes 26.0.1.

Ask the user to confirm the version. If they want a different version (e.g. bumping minor instead of micro), use that instead.

2. Update version for release

Edit lithoxyl/__init__.py: remove the dev suffix from __version__.

# Before
__version__ = '26.0.1dev'
# After
__version__ = '26.0.1'

3. Update CHANGELOG.md

Add a new section at the top of CHANGELOG.md (below the # lithoxyl Changelog heading) for the release version. Use this format:

## 26.0.1

_(Month Day, Year)_

- First change description
- Second change description

To determine what changed, review the commits since the last tag:

git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --pretty=format:'%s' --no-merges

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.
