A release-management guide for the Simulink automation plugin. It describes how to update versions, prepare release notes, run checks, and create a GitHub release from a version tag.

Use it when bumping a version, preparing release notes, validating the plugin, or creating a release tag.

It helps prevent mismatched version files and missed validation steps when publishing a new release.

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	$0.00052	$0.01589
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.00794
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00318
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00159

Measured 9d ago against content hash 221369114212, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-08, 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 9d 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 — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release

Default release path is tag-driven GitHub auto release via .github/workflows/release.yml.

Files to Check First

.claude-plugin/plugin.json
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json
simulink_cli/core.py — build_schema_payload()["version"]
docs/release/
scripts/check_release_metadata.py
scripts/build_release_notes.py
.github/workflows/release.yml

Release Flow

Pick version X.Y.Z
Update manifests and schema:
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json → version: "X.Y.Z"
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json → plugins[0].version: "X.Y.Z"
- simulink_cli/core.py → build_schema_payload()["version"] to "X.Y" (only when major.minor changes)
- docs/release/<date>-vX.Y.Z.md when required (see Release Notes section)
Validate locally:

python scripts/check_release_metadata.py --tag vX.Y.Z
python -m unittest tests.test_plugin_manifest_contract tests.test_marketplace_manifest_contract -v
python -m unittest discover -s tests -p "test_*.py" -v
claude plugin validate .
python scripts/build_release_notes.py --tag vX.Y.Z --ref HEAD

Archive live test report (if available):
- If docs/reports/LIVE-TEST-REPORT.md exists:
  - Check report's Test Commit vs current HEAD
  - If close match: copy to docs/reports/archive/live-test-vX.Y.Z.md
  - If large gap: warn "Live test report may be stale" — user decides
  - Reference archived report in release notes Validation section
- If no report exists: warn "No live test report. Consider running /live-test first." — do not block release
Commit release changes
Create and push annotated tag:

git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z"
git push origin <branch>
git push origin vX.Y.Z

.github/workflows/release.yml creates the GitHub Release automatically

Version Sync Rules

For release version X.Y.Z, all four must match:

Location	Required Value
`.claude-plugin/plugin.json` → `version`	`X.Y.Z`
`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` → `plugins[0].version`	`X.Y.Z`
`simulink_cli/core.py` → `build_schema_payload()["version"]`	`X.Y`
Git tag	`vX.Y.Z`

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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mistakey/simulink-automation-suite (9 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,589 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 2026-08-31.
