release

A release workflow for preparing and publishing new versions of npm packages, JavaScript packages distributed through the npm registry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to determine the correct semantic-version bump, update shared package versions, review commits since the last tag, create a Git tag, and trigger npm publishing through CI.
Why use it?
It checks the repository state and automated tests before changing versions, creating a changelog, tagging the release, and pushing it for publication.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

Release

Prepare and ship a new version of argue packages.

Pre-conditions

  • Working tree is clean (git status shows no uncommitted changes)
  • You are on the master branch
  • All CI checks pass locally (npm run ci && npm run format:check)

If any pre-condition fails, fix it before proceeding. Do NOT skip checks.

Step 1 — Gather Context

Run these commands and record the output:

# Current unified version (root is the source of truth)
node -e "import('./package.json',{with:{type:'json'}}).then(m=>console.log('workspace:',m.default.version))"

# Last release tag
git tag -l 'v*' --sort=-v:refname | head -1

# Commits since last tag (or all if no tag)
LAST_TAG=$(git tag -l 'v*' --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
if [ -n "$LAST_TAG" ]; then
  git log "$LAST_TAG"..HEAD --oneline
else
  git log --oneline
fi

Step 2 — Decide Version Bump

Based on the commits gathered above, determine the semver bump:

Commit pattern Bump
fix: / perf: / refactor: only patch
Any feat: minor
BREAKING CHANGE in body or !: in type major

All workspace packages share one version number. Pick the highest bump level across all commits.

Present the decision to the user:

Current version: X.Y.Z Commits since last release: (count) Suggested bump: patch/minor/major -> X.Y.Z

Proceed?

Wait for confirmation. The user may override the version.

Step 3 — Update Versions

node scripts/bump-version.mjs X.Y.Z
npm install

This updates version in the root package.json and every packages/*/package.json, and rewrites @onevcat/argue-cli and @onevcat/argue-viewer's internal dependency on @onevcat/argue to ^X.Y.Z.

Step 4 — Generate Changelog

Read the current CHANGELOG.md (create if it doesn't exist). Prepend a new section at the top (after the # Changelog heading).

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 onevcat/argue (273 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,228 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
