creating-releases

creating-releases is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from noisy/noisy-coding. It costs 73 tokens per session (951 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintainer guide for publishing a noisy-coding release, including changing version files, creating a Git tag and GitHub release, and writing release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when releasing a new version, publishing it through the command line, checking the Docker image build, or preparing upgrade instructions.
Why use it?
It keeps version information synchronized and explains how to turn code changes into release notes that help users decide whether to upgrade.

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

creating-releases 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 4d 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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creating releases

Releases here are cut with gh from the CLI — never the GitHub web UI — and the notes are a PRODUCT SURFACE, not a changelog dump: a future daemon/agent will quote them verbatim to convince users to upgrade (that's the plan behind the VersionBadge and #18). Write them for that reader.

Mechanics (in order)

  1. python3 scripts/bump_version.py X.Y.Z — keeps the four version files in sync (pyproject, uv.lock, dashboard/package.json, plugin.json); NEVER bump by hand, drift once shipped a stale plugin (issue #7).
  2. Commit the bump (chore: release vX.Y.Z), tag vX.Y.Z, push both: git push origin main vX.Y.Z.
  3. gh release create vX.Y.Z -R noisy/noisy-coding --title "…" --notes "…".
  4. The tag triggers the release workflow (verify-version gate + Docker image with provenance). Watch it (gh run list --workflow=release) and confirm the tag appears on Docker Hub BEFORE telling the user to update — the image takes ~3-4 min; the marketplace needs no build.
  5. Then follow the after-production-release skill: spoken one-liner + minimal refresh checklist derived from what changed.

Version number

  • PATCH — fixes, invisible changes.
  • MINOR — anything the user can see or a new capability; big visible UI batches are MINOR too (2.8.0 was a UI overhaul).
  • Krzysztof calls the number; suggest one, don't tag until he says.

Release notes — the format that matters

## Highlights

> The section an upgrade-nudging agent should quote.

- **One bold sentence naming what changed for the USER.** Then 1–3
  sentences: the pain that existed, what happens now. Write pain-first —
  "X used to happen; now Y" beats a feature list.

## Also in this release

- Smaller items, one line each. Real changes only — no refactor noise.

## Upgrade notes

- Derived from WHAT CHANGED (see after-production-release): container
  only / plugin only / both halves — with the exact commands, and the
  warning that one half without the other leaves cross-boundary bugs
  alive when both changed.

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.
