release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from panaversity/ksor. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,266 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release runbook for a software project that uses changesets, which are small files recording intended package and changelog updates. It describes how changes move from reviewed code to a manually approved release and how the real packaged files are tested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and review version-package changes, test the files that will be published, handle snapshot releases, and investigate failed release workflows. It also documents publishing with provenance, meaning evidence of where the package came from.
Why use it?
It explains why merging code does not publish anything and where a failed release can stop. This helps maintainers diagnose release checks, permissions, package publishing, and artifact problems.

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 6d 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.

Releasing

The airlock — main is always releasable, never auto-released

Release timing is controlled entirely by when the Version Packages PR is merged. Review it as a release-notes reader: the changelog it generates is what adopters will read.

Testing before publish

Three layers, all before anything reaches the registry:

  1. The PR gate — including the tarball test, which asserts the shipped bytes (dist entries, docs, LICENSE, NOTICE, CHANGELOG in the pack).
  2. A live walk of the real artifact (mandatory for CLI changes, per $implement-spec): pnpm pack in packages/ksor, install the tarball into a fresh temp dir, run the actual binary — help exit 0, unknown verb exit 1 with slug, designed verb exit 2, bundled docs present.
  3. The Version PR review — the human sign-off. Since the org toggle was enabled (2026-08-21) this PR is opened by github-actions[bot], and its CI waits for approval: the run sits in action_required with zero jobs, so gh pr checks answers "no checks reported on the 'changeset-release/main' branch". That reads like a repo with no CI and is not — approve it and the full eight-job gate runs (it passed on #48). Approve from the PR's Checks tab or with gh api -X POST repos/panaversity/ksor/actions/runs/<id>/approve, and do it before merging: after the merge the release job re-runs the whole gate anyway, but then a failure costs you a red release instead of a red PR.

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.
