release

A release checklist for publishing updates to the claude-code-harness plugin repository. It covers deciding whether a Git tag is needed, updating plugin versions, recording the change, staging files, publishing, and checking that the remote repository is synchronized.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when releasing changes to the harness plugin or its shipped files. It helps decide the release path and verify the final commit, tag, push, and version state.
Why use it?
It reduces release mistakes such as mismatched versions, missing tags, or changes documented but never pushed. Version updates ensure installed users can receive changed plugin files.

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 2d 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.

Релиз / обновление репозитория claude-code-harness

Этот репозиторий — source of truth публичного плагина. Консюмеры устанавливают из origin/main через /plugin update. Отсюда два жёстких факта, которые формируют весь ритуал:

  1. Версия в plugin.json — это update cache key. Правка shipped-поверхности БЕЗ бампа версии доставляет подписчикам ничего (см. native-capabilities.md §Plugins). Значит любое изменение под plugins/** обязано пройти через релиз с бампом.
  2. Релиз существует только когда запушен (коммит + тег + push в origin). Незапушенный релиз — это анонс в devlog без поставки. Три прошлых релиза сломались именно тут (desync версий, стампы на несуществующих версиях, «зарелизил в devlog, но не запушил») — ради этого и написан scripts/release.sh.

Не переизобретай механику: plugins/harness/scripts/release.sh уже бампит обе версии, стережёт drift и стейджит поверхность. Этот скилл — рунбук поверх него: решение + пред-шаги + финиш + верификация, то, что скрипт намеренно не делает.


Шаг 0. Развилка — нужен ли тег?

Посмотри git status / git diff --stat. Задевает ли изменение shipped-поверхность?

  • Shipped-поверхность = plugins/** · README.md · CHANGELOG.md · .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. → Путь B (Релиз): version bump + тег.
  • Только dev-harness = .claude/** (CLAUDE.md, этот скилл, devlog-правка) · .gitignore · .gitattributes · LICENSE. → Путь A (Dev-harness commit): обычный commit + push, без бампа, без тега.

Пограничный случай: изменение задевает и то, и другое (например, правка reference + правка CLAUDE.md). Тогда это Путь B — раз shipped-поверхность затронута, нужен релиз; dev-harness-файлы просто едут в том же коммите.

Ты работаешь в main (консюмеры ставят из origin/main) — релизы идут прямо в main, это установившийся поток. Убедись, что ты на main и что пользователь действительно просил опубликовать, прежде чем пушить.


Путь A — dev-harness фикс (без тега)

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.
