release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from narlei/claudecodenotify. It costs 147 tokens per session (894 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for the ClaudeCodeNotify macOS app that builds its files, creates a version tag, and publishes a GitHub release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and publish a new app version from the version in Info.plist, producing DMG and ZIP files and using release_notes.md as the release description.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of releasing the wrong version, missing an installer file, or publishing without the intended release notes. It also checks the planned changes 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/create-release.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.

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

Release ClaudeCodeNotify

Publish a new GitHub release: build the artifacts, tag the version from Resources/Info.plist, and create the release with release_notes.md as the body.

What a release consists of

  • VersionCFBundleShortVersionString in Resources/Info.plist (e.g. 1.0.3). This is the single source of truth; the git tag and release title are derived from it.
  • Tagv<version> (e.g. v1.0.3), annotated, pushed to origin.
  • Artifacts — produced by make release:
    • dist/ClaudeCodeNotify.dmg — stable name (the website's "latest" download link depends on it).
    • dist/ClaudeCodeNotify-<version>.zip — versioned zip.
  • Notes — the contents of release_notes.md at the repo root become the release body.

How to run it

The whole flow is bundled in scripts/create-release.sh. It is idempotent-safe: it refuses to run if the tag already exists, so you never double-publish a version.

Always dry-run first so the user can see exactly what will happen:

.claude/skills/release/scripts/create-release.sh --dry-run

Show the user the planned version, tag, artifacts, and notes preview. Once they confirm, run it for real:

.claude/skills/release/scripts/create-release.sh

Before you publish — checklist

Releases are public and irreversible-ish (deleting a release/tag is messy), so verify before running for real:

  1. Version is bumped. If v<version> already exists, the version in Info.plist was not bumped — point this out and ask the user to bump it (and the Homebrew tap, if relevant) rather than forcing the tag.
  2. The release commit is on the intended branch and pushed. The tag is created at HEAD. If the user is on a feature branch (not main), confirm that's intentional — most releases should be cut from the default branch with everything merged and pushed.
  3. release_notes.md reflects this version. Skim it; if it still mentions an old version or stale install steps, fix it (or ask the user) before publishing.
  4. Working tree is clean. Uncommitted changes won't be in the release. The script warns but doesn't block — surface the warning to the user.

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.
