nexus-release

A workflow for designing Nexus interface changes as standalone HTML, CSS, and JavaScript mockups before production code is written. The mockup acts as a visual agreement for the later implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new views, panels, modals, settings tabs, chat surfaces, and major layout changes, including revising or replacing existing mockups.
Why use it?
It lets a team review the intended layout and interaction early, reducing the chance of building the wrong interface.

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

nexus-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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_release_ready.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Nexus Release

Context: a Nexus release is one artifact — a bare X.Y.Z git tag on main. Everything downstream (installing, building, naming the release, uploading main.js / manifest.json / styles.css, provenance attestation) is done by <repo>/.github/workflows/release.yml from the tagged commit. You never build the release; you make the tagged commit correct and then tag it.

Two consequences shape everything here. The tag is the point of no return — the workflow reads the tree as committed at that tag. And the workflow guards only three things, so everything else is on you.

Path convention: <repo>/… means relative to the Nexus repo root. Bare paths (protocols/…, scripts/…) are inside this skill.

Workflow

  1. Cutting a release → follow protocols/cut-release.md end to end, in order. Do not improvise the sequence: several steps only have any effect before the tag exists.

  2. Bringing user-facing docs in line (a phase of the above; also runnable on its own) → protocols/doc-review.md.

  3. Before pushing any tag you MUST get a clean exit from the readiness check. It reproduces the workflow's own version guard locally, so a failure here is a failure you would otherwise discover after the tag exists:

    python3 .claude/skills/nexus-release/scripts/check_release_ready.py --tag X.Y.Z
    

    (--repo defaults to the repo root found by walking up from the working directory. Run --help for the flags; stdlib only, no node_modules. If the mirror above is absent, the same file is at <repo>/.skills/nexus-release/scripts/check_release_ready.py.)

  4. The workflow did not run, failed its guard, or shipped the wrong assetsprotocols/recover.md. NEVER hand-create a release or hand-attach assets to fix it — that silently drops provenance attestation.

  5. After a release sessionprotocols/self-refine.md.

Map

  • protocols/ the how: cut-release.md, doc-review.md, recover.md, self-refine.md.
  • references/ the why, read on demand: release-machinery.md (what the workflow really does, what it guards, what it does not, and the build-order asymmetry that decides which generated file can ship stale), changelog-format.md (the conventions the changelog actually follows).
  • scripts/ check_release_ready.py — version consistency across package.json, manifest.json, versions.json, the lockfile and the tag.
  • refinement-log.md — what past releases taught this skill.

Files

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

nexus-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository ProfSynapse/nexus (154 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 940 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
