memex: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/memex-release/SKILL.md

memex-release is a skill for Claude Code from nicosuave/memex. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,059 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for publishing a Memex software version across command-line archives, a Qt AppImage, a signed macOS app, and Homebrew. It also verifies the published results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare patch, minor, or major Memex releases, run the required checks, publish release assets, and verify them.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the required versioning, tagging, build, signing, publishing, and verification steps. It helps prevent incomplete or incorrectly labelled releases.

This is nicosuave/memex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on memex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything memex configures →

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

memex-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 3d 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memex release

A full release is: version bump and tag via cargo release, the tag-triggered GitHub release workflow, the locally signed macOS app plus its Homebrew cask, then verification. The repo owns the mechanics; when this file disagrees with them, trust release.toml, .github/workflows/release.yml, scripts/release_macos_local.sh, and apps/macos/scripts/publish-cask.sh.

Before starting

  • Release from the maintainer's main checkout on main, not from a worktree: cargo release refuses a detached HEAD.
  • Preserve unrelated working-tree changes; the macOS script requires a clean tree.
  • Pick the bump from the commits since the latest tag (git log --oneline $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..origin/main): fixes only -> patch, new user-visible capability -> minor, breaking change -> major. A requested bump does not override contrary evidence; say which you chose and why.
  • CI on the latest main commit must be green. If it is still running, wait for that exact commit.

Procedure

  1. Sync: git fetch origin --prune --tags && git pull --ff-only.
  2. Check: cargo fmt --check, mbx clippy -- -D warnings, and mbx test once. If the full suite stalls or a known timing-sensitive test fails, rerun that test alone and report the full suite as unverified rather than passed.
  3. Bump and tag: cargo release <bump> --execute --no-confirm. This updates Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, and herdr-plugin.toml, commits "Release memex version X.Y.Z", tags vX.Y.Z, and pushes both. It does not publish to crates.io. Run it once without --execute first if unsure.
  4. Release workflow (release.yml, triggered by the tag): builds memex-X.Y.Z-macos-arm64.tar.gz and memex-X.Y.Z-linux-{x86_64,arm64}.tar.gz (each with .sha256) plus the Qt AppImage, and creates the GitHub release. Watch it with gh run list --workflow release.yml and one bounded wait.
  5. macOS app, after the GitHub release exists (needs the maintainer's local Developer ID and notarization setup): CODESIGN_IDENTITY='<Developer ID Application identity>' scripts/release_macos_local.sh X.Y.Z (NOTARY_PROFILE has a default in the script). It builds, signs, notarizes, staples, uploads memex-app-X.Y.Z-macos-arm64.zip, and updates Casks/memex-app.rb in nicosuave/homebrew-tap. Run it in the background; it takes minutes. On an upload or cask failure, retry with --publish-only X.Y.Z.
  6. Homebrew formula: memex lives in homebrew-core (the tap's tap_migrations.json points there). Nothing to push; verify with gh api repos/Homebrew/homebrew-core/contents/Formula/m/memex.rb --jq .content | base64 --decode. It usually lags the tag; report it as pending rather than failed.

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.
