vibetags: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from PIsberg/vibetags. It costs 71 tokens per session (4,493 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for the VibeTags Java project. It updates the project version and changelog, prepares a GitHub release, and starts publishing the package to Maven Central, Java’s central package repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting a release, choosing a semantic-version change, opening the release pull request, and creating the GitHub release.
Why use it?
It gathers the repeated release steps into one documented process. This reduces the chance of forgetting version updates, release notes, or the action that starts publishing.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is PIsberg/vibetags's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vibetags itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vibetags configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is cd examples/basic && mvn -q clean compile && cd ../...

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to PIsberg/vibetags. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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 12d 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 — 361 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release VibeTags

Drives the release process documented in docs/RELEASING.md. That document is the source of truth; this skill is the executable path through it. If the two ever disagree, docs/RELEASING.md wins — and say so rather than silently improvising.

Step 1 — Establish the current version and ask for the next one

The single source of truth for "what version are we on" is the <revision> property in vibetags-parent/pom.xml:

sed -n 's:.*<revision>\(.*\)</revision>.*:\1:p' vibetags-parent/pom.xml | head -n1
git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -5

Then ask the user which version to release with AskUserQuestion. Compute the candidates from whatever the current version turns out to be — do not hardcode them:

  • If the current version is a release candidate (X.Y.Z-RCn), offer promoting it to final (X.Y.Z) and cutting the next candidate (X.Y.Z-RC<n+1>).
  • If the current version is final, offer the patch, minor, and major bumps, and a first release candidate for the next minor if that fits what is in [Unreleased].

Always include the semantic-versioning meaning in each option's description. The user can also type any version via "Other". Never guess and proceed — the version is always the user's call.

Sanity-check the answer before continuing: it must be a release version (no -SNAPSHOT — Maven Central rejects those), and git tag -l "v<version>" must come back empty.

Step 1b — Count this month's releases against Central's allowance

Maven Central allows an organization 7 releases, 1,167 files and 78 MB a month, and an org that stays over them is rate limited (#863). September 2026 had 7 tags. Count this calendar month's tags before going further:

git for-each-ref --format='%(creatordate:format:%Y-%m) %(refname:short)' 'refs/tags/v*' \
  | grep "^$(date +%Y-%m) "

The cadence is at most 3 releases a month. If this would be the fourth or later, stop and tell the user the count, and continue only on an explicit go-ahead for a fix a consumer is blocked on. Say which it was in the release PR body.

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 PIsberg/vibetags (25 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 4,493 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
