release

Instructions for publishing an AgentOS software release through its repository's CI workflow. CI is an automated system that builds and publishes software after a release is triggered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an exact version or a patch bump, trigger the publish workflow, monitor it with GitHub CLI, and release the associated packages and assets.
Why use it?
It provides the required release sequence and prevents publishing packages locally or releasing the compatibility package before AgentOS.

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 yesterday.

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

AgentOS Release

The publish flow lives in scripts/publish and is driven by .github/workflows/publish.yaml.

AgentOS is the source of truth. It publishes npm packages, crates, runtime sidecars, Pyodide/R2 assets, and @agentos-software/* registry packages from this repository. agentos releases are generated compatibility shims that follow the AgentOS version; never release agentos first.

Procedure

  1. Start from a clean, pushed merge-aos or main bookmark.
  2. Run the local trigger:
just release --version 0.2.0       # exact version
just release --version 0.2.0-rc.1  # rc (npm tag `rc`)
just release --patch               # semver bump from latest git tag
  1. Watch the workflow:
run=$(gh run list -R rivet-dev/agentos --workflow=publish.yaml -L1 --json databaseId --jq '.[0].databaseId')
gh run watch -R rivet-dev/agentos "$run" --exit-status

Notes

  • Never publish to npm or crates.io locally; always go through publish.yaml.
  • scripts/publish/src/local/cut-release.ts is a pure trigger; version changes happen in the ephemeral CI checkout.
  • workspace:* deps are rewritten to literal versions by the publish bump pass.
  • Generated agentos shims are dispatched after AgentOS publishes and must use the same version.
  • If anything fails, stop and report — do not retry automatically.

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.
