release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Ovid/paad. It costs 34 tokens per session (3,499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for paad that chooses the version change, runs the project's release and tagging commands, and checks the published plugin afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a paad release, select the appropriate semantic-version bump from the Unreleased changes, merge and tag it, and verify what users install.
Why use it?
It keeps generated manifests, changelogs, exports, branches, tags, and the released plugin aligned during a version release.

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

Start

Announce: "Preparing a paad release…"

Read @CLAUDE.md.

make release and make tag own everything mechanical: the promotion of preview/paad into plugins/paad, the changelog roll, the version rewrite across every manifest and announce line in both trees, the export regeneration, the full check suite, and the annotated tag. This skill owns the parts a Makefile cannot decide — which number to bump to, whether a release is wanted at all, and whether the thing users install actually works afterwards.

Never hand-edit plugin.json, marketplace.json, package.json, a SKILL.md announce line, or the changelog's version headings and link refs. Those are generated. If the generated result is wrong, fix the generator.

Never hand-edit plugins/paad at all. It is written only by promotion. A hand edit there does not survive: make release opens with make promote, whose rsync -a --delete copies the pre-fix preview/paad straight over it. Nothing catches that — the tree is committed so the dirty guard passes, and the result is self-consistent so every check passes. The release ships and the changelog announces a fix that is not in it. Fixes go in preview/paad, hotfixes included.

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 Ovid/paad (109 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 3,499 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.
