release-engineering

release-engineering is a skill for Codex from majiayu000/spellbook. It costs 69 tokens per session (432 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-planning and verification guide for shipping software changes safely.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define versions, changelogs, migration checks, canary rollouts, monitoring, rollback steps, and release ownership.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of releasing broken code, incompatible APIs, bad database changes, or deployments that cannot be rolled back.

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 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.

What it actually says

Release Engineering

Purpose

Use this skill to turn "ready to merge" into a controlled release. It connects code, data, config, deployment, monitoring, and rollback.

Release Classification

Classify the release before choosing gates:

Type Extra Gates
Patch fix focused regression test, rollback proof
Feature release feature flag, docs/changelog, product acceptance
API or SDK change versioning, deprecation, compatibility tests
Database migration data-contract-migrations, backup, backfill, recovery
Config or secret change config-secrets-environments, rotation, drift check
Infrastructure change canary, health checks, capacity and rollback

Release Plan

For non-trivial releases, require:

  1. Version or release identifier.
  2. Changelog entries grouped by user impact.
  3. Build artifacts and provenance.
  4. Migration and config gates.
  5. Canary or staged rollout plan.
  6. Monitoring dashboard and alert expectations.
  7. Rollback or roll-forward command.
  8. Owner, decision time, and abort criteria.

Verification

Use fresh commands from the current session. Typical gates:

git status --short
git log --oneline -n 5
# project-specific build/test command
# migration dry run or validation query
# deployment health check

Do not claim a release shipped unless remote git, CI, artifact, and runtime state have each been checked at the required level.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
