publish

publish is a skill for Claude Code from mickeyyaya/evolve-loop. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,384 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release workflow that prepares and publishes a new software version, including checks, version updates, changelog creation, and rollback if propagation fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run pre-release checks, bump versions, create changelogs, publish tags, monitor marketplace propagation, and recover from failures.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of shipping an inconsistent or unverified release and keeps the release steps in one process.

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

publish 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 — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/evo:publish

Canonical release entry point. Owns the full publish lifecycle: pre-flight → bump → changelog → ship → propagate → rollback-on-failure. NOT a synonym for "git push" — see docs/release-protocol.md for vocabulary.

What this skill does

When the user types /evo:publish 18.5.0 (or similar), invoke the go-native release pipeline with the target version. The pipeline owns every step (implementation: go/internal/releasepipeline/, journal under .evolve/release-journal/):

Step Operation Failure → action
1 Pre-flight gate (evolve release-preflight) exit non-zero; abort, no mutations
2 Auto-changelog abort
3 Version bump (6 markers) abort
3.5 Rebuild tracked binary go/evolve abort
4 Consistency check (evolve release-consistency) abort, files in working tree
5 Atomic ship abort, nothing pushed
6 Marketplace propagation poll (up to 5 min default) auto-rollback unless --no-rollback
7 Cache refresh logged WARN; manual fix

Steps 1–7 are the gh-free pipeline binary. It cannot see GitHub CI — it ends by printing a NOTE: GitHub CI is NOT verified by this pipeline advisory. CI gating is this skill's job (next section); never treat a green pipeline as a green CI.

CI gating (this skill adds what the binary cannot)

evolve release is self-contained and headless-safe, so it does not verify GitHub CI. This skill wraps the pipeline with two gh-based checks. If gh is unavailable, report "cannot verify CI — confirm manually" and stop; never silently skip.

Before invoking the pipeline — base CI must be green (catches "releasing from an already-red main", the v20.1.0 trigger):

gh run list --branch main --limit 1 --json headSha,status,conclusion,url

Require headSha == $(git rev-parse origin/main), status == "completed", conclusion == "success". Anything else → STOP with the run URL:

  • in-progress → wait for it.
  • failure → fix main green first.
  • stale SHA / local main ahead of origin → you'd publish commits CI has never seen; push main and let CI run first, then release. (This is the same gate /evo:release runs; it is hoisted here so /evo:publish-direct callers are protected too.)

publish is a skill published in the GitHub repository mickeyyaya/evolve-loop (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 2,384 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
