release

A release workflow for Symphony, covering version changes, commits, tags, GitHub pull requests, and release checks. A tag is a fixed name attached to a particular commit, usually used to mark a release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when releasing Symphony, changing its version, creating or moving a release tag, or checking the automated release workflow.
Why use it?
It prevents releases from being tagged before the correct code is merged or from moving an already published tag without approval. It also requires checking that the release build and packaged files are complete.

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.

What it actually says

Release

  1. Start from fresh origin/main in a clean worktree. Never disturb unrelated local changes.

  2. Pick the requested version. If none is given, use the next patch after the latest vX.Y.Z tag.

  3. Update elixir/mix.exs so version: "X.Y.Z" matches the intended tag. Search the old version and change other files only when they are true release-version sources, not examples.

  4. Run make -C elixir all, then commit, push, create a PR, and land it.

  5. Fetch the merged main commit. Verify its mix.exs version, then create an annotated tag on that exact commit:

    git tag -a vX.Y.Z <merged-commit> -m "Symphony vX.Y.Z"
    git push origin vX.Y.Z
    
  6. Watch burrito-release until it finishes. Verify the build, smoke, and release jobs pass and that the GitHub release has all expected assets.

Do not tag an uncommitted or unmerged revision. Do not move a published tag without explicit user approval.

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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository openai/symphony (26,987 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 306 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
