release

release is a skill for Claude Code from paulo-yamagishi/claude-code-setup. It costs 0 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release helper that updates a project's version number and changelog, then creates a Git commit and tag. Semantic versioning uses major, minor, and patch numbers to show the kind of change being released.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare major, minor, or patch releases from the repository's VERSION file and CHANGELOG.md, with a matching Git tag.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive release steps and stops when there is no unreleased work or the working tree has other uncommitted changes. It leaves pushing the release to the user.

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 8d 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 — Bump Version and Tag a Release

Automates semantic version bumps, changelog updates, and git tagging.

Usage

/release <major|minor|patch>

Steps

  1. Read current version from VERSION file at repo root
  2. Bump version according to the argument:
    • major: X.0.0 (breaking changes)
    • minor: X.Y+1.0 (new features)
    • patch: X.Y.Z+1 (fixes)
  3. Update CHANGELOG.md:
    • Rename ## [Unreleased] section to ## [NEW_VERSION] - YYYY-MM-DD
    • Add a fresh empty ## [Unreleased] section above it
    • Update comparison links at the bottom of the file
  4. Update VERSION file with the new version string
  5. Commit all changes with message: chore: release vNEW_VERSION
  6. Create git tag vNEW_VERSION on the new commit

Rules

  • Abort if the ## [Unreleased] section in CHANGELOG.md is empty (nothing to release)
  • Abort if working tree is dirty (uncommitted changes besides the release edits)
  • Always verify the final state: cat VERSION && git tag -l 'vNEW_VERSION'
  • Do NOT push — let the user decide when to push

Example

/release patch
# VERSION: 0.1.0 → 0.1.1
# CHANGELOG: [Unreleased] → [0.1.1] - 2026-02-09
# Commit: chore: release v0.1.1
# Tag: v0.1.1

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.
