github-release-management

github-release-management is a skill for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruflo. It costs 27 tokens per session (7,416 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of github-release-management, MIT.

A GitHub release orchestration tool for planning versions, testing builds, deploying artifacts, and rolling back releases. A release is a published version of software made available to users or other systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to suggest versions, detect breaking changes, generate release timelines and notes, run validation, build artifacts, deploy to targets such as npm or Docker, and manage rollbacks.
Why use it?
It coordinates the many steps involved in shipping software, especially when several packages or deployment targets are involved. This reduces the chance of releasing without required validation.

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 795
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

github-release-management 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 1mo 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.

Progressive Disclosure: Level 1 - Basic Usage

Essential Release Commands

Create Release Draft
# Get last release tag
LAST_TAG=$(gh release list --limit 1 --json tagName -q '.[0].tagName')

# Generate changelog from commits
CHANGELOG=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo$compare/${LAST_TAG}...HEAD \
  --jq '.commits[].commit.message')

# Create draft release
gh release create v2.0.0 \
  --draft \
  --title "Release v2.0.0" \
  --notes "$CHANGELOG" \
  --target main

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.
