release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from muthuishere/toolnexus. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,082 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A release workflow for publishing a tool called toolnexus to seven software-package registries, online services where developers download libraries. It includes checks before publishing and verification after publishing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when publishing, republishing a failed registry step, checking whether a release landed, or preparing a version after code has merged into the main branch.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a successful automation run from a package that is actually available, while avoiding duplicate or unauthorized releases.

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 C, and why

release scanned grade C with 2 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-release-readiness.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Releasing toolnexus

Publishing is outward-facing and irreversible: a version number can never be reused on npm, PyPI, NuGet, Maven Central, Hex or Clojars. This skill exists because the obvious signals lie in both directions — a green workflow can ship nothing, and a red workflow can be a complete success.

The two rules that override intuition

1. A green run is not evidence a package landed. ADR-0012 exists because NuGet and Maven have reported success without publishing. Always verify from outside, as a consumer would (step 6).

2. A red run is not evidence of failure. Re-dispatching a completed release makes the already-published legs refuse a duplicate — npm cannot publish over the previously published versions, Clojars 403 redeploying non-snapshots is not allowed. That is immutability working. Read the job list, not the conclusion.

Never do these

  • Never publish unless the owner asked in this conversation. "Is it ready?" is a question, not authorization.
  • Never release unmerged code. The release is cut from main after the PR merges.
  • Never bump one port "to unblock". preflight refuses it, and that refusal is the point.
  • Never turn ENABLE_* variables off to isolate one registry. A disabled leg is skipped silently; forgetting to restore it makes a future release quietly incomplete. Accept a red run whose only real job succeeds instead.
  • Never print, log, echo or paste a registry token. They are use-only env vars read at the point of use.

Steps

1. Run the readiness gate

.claude/skills/release/scripts/check-release-readiness.sh <version>

It replicates release.yml's preflight locally and adds the check preflight does not have — that the versioned install coordinates in the docs match the release. It checks: six manifests in lockstep (golang has none — it releases as a tag), docs install coordinates, a dated ## <version> changelog section with a fresh ## Unreleased above it, clean tree on main in sync with origin, the tag being free, all seven ENABLE_* gates, and licensing.

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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository muthuishere/toolnexus (5 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 2,082 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
