A release-management tool for the wicked-garden plugin. It uses Git history to create changelogs, update version numbers, prepare release notes, and create Git tags.

Use it to preview or perform major, minor, or patch releases and generate changelogs from commits.

It removes repetitive release work and helps keep version numbers and change records consistent.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00048	$0.01347
Opus 5	$0.00024	$0.00674
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00269
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00135

Measured 11d ago against content hash 27e1e2b9151e, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-11, from the pricing page.

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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/batch_release.py, scripts/changelog.py, scripts/release.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 Tool

Automated release management for the wicked-garden plugin.

Purpose

Streamlines the release process:

Changelog generation - Auto-generate from commit messages
Semantic versioning - Intelligent version bumping (major/minor/patch)
Version management - Update plugin.json, create git tags
Release notes - Template-based release documentation

Usage

Command Line Mode

# Auto-detect version bump from commits
python3 .claude/skills/releasing/scripts/release.py .

# Specify version bump
python3 .claude/skills/releasing/scripts/release.py . --bump major
python3 .claude/skills/releasing/scripts/release.py . --bump minor
python3 .claude/skills/releasing/scripts/release.py . --bump patch

# Dry run (preview changes)
python3 .claude/skills/releasing/scripts/release.py . --dry-run

# Check if changes exist since last tag
python3 .claude/skills/releasing/scripts/batch_release.py --changed --dry-run

# Force release with bump type
python3 .claude/skills/releasing/scripts/batch_release.py --bump minor

Via Dev Command

/wg-release --dry-run
/wg-release --bump minor

Semantic Versioning Rules

Version Format

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.3)

MAJOR - Breaking changes, incompatible API changes
MINOR - New features, backwards-compatible functionality
PATCH - Bug fixes, backwards-compatible fixes

Commit Message Detection

Auto-detect version bump from commit messages:

Commit Pattern	Version Bump	Example
`BREAKING CHANGE:`, `feat!:`, `fix!:`	major	`feat!: redesign cache API`
`feat:`, `feature:`	minor	`feat: add TTL support`
`fix:`, `bugfix:`	patch	`fix: handle null keys`
`docs:`, `chore:`, `refactor:`	none	`docs: update README`
No prefix	patch	`improve error messages`

Files

What ships with it

4 files 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.
