release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mickeyyaya/evolve-loop. It costs 83 tokens per session (894 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only release readiness check that verifies whether a project meets its publishing criteria before the actual release process runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to confirm that CI is green, release checks pass, version markers agree, and the branch is ready for the publishing workflow.
Why use it?
It finds issues such as failing checks, an unclean working tree, missing version consistency, or unfinished commits before publishing.

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

/evo:release

Release readiness-gate, not a release executor. It composes the checks that already exist (evolve release-preflight, evolve release-consistency) and adds the two gaps they miss — CI green on main HEAD and no WIP/fixup commits — then hands a green report to /evo:publish, which owns the actual bump → changelog → ship → propagate lifecycle.

Why this exists

evolve release-preflight already gates: clean tree, attached branch, semver bump, recent audit PASS, gate-test suites. evolve release-consistency already verifies the 6 version markers (plugin.json, marketplace.json, README, CHANGELOG, SKILL headings). Neither checks whether GitHub CI is actually green on the commit you're about to release from, nor screens for accidental WIP commits. This skill closes exactly those gaps — nothing more.

Defense-in-depth: /evo:publish now performs the same pre-release CI-green check itself (so a direct /evo:publish call is still gated) and adds a post-release watch of the released commit's go/CI workflows. Running /evo:release first stays the recommended path; evolve release (the raw binary) is gh-free and only prints a "CI not verified" advisory.

Procedure

Run in order. Any FAIL → print the reason and stop (do not delegate to /evo:publish).

  1. Preflight (5 gates) — read-only:
    $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/go/bin/evolve release-preflight <target> --dry-run
    
    Non-zero exit → stop.
  2. Consistency (version markers):
    $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/go/bin/evolve release-consistency <target>
    
    Non-zero exit → stop.
  3. Gap 1 — CI green on main HEAD (requires gh; if absent, report "cannot verify CI" and stop):
    gh run list --branch main --limit 1 --json headSha,status,conclusion,url
    
    Confirm headSha matches git rev-parse origin/main, status == "completed", conclusion == "success". Anything else (in-progress, failure, stale SHA) → stop with the run URL.
  4. Gap 2 — no WIP/fixup commits since the last tag:
    git log "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD" --format=%s
    
    If any subject matches ^(WIP|fixup!|squash!|amend!) → stop and list them.
  5. All green → delegate: invoke /evo:publish <target> (pass --dry-run through if the user gave it). Report the readiness summary first so the user sees what passed.

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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository mickeyyaya/evolve-loop (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 894 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
