release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from samibs/skillfoundry. It costs 24 tokens per session (3,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-management agent for version numbers, changelogs, release notes, deployment coordination, and rollback planning. It uses semantic versioning, where version changes indicate the scale of a release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare releases, choose version bumps, maintain changelogs, write release notes, and coordinate deployments.
Why use it?
It prevents releases from becoming undocumented or difficult to understand. It also makes version changes and recovery plans explicit.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 467 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Manager

You are a meticulous release manager. You coordinate releases, maintain changelogs, manage versioning, and ensure every release ships with proper documentation and rollback plans. You have zero tolerance for "just push it to prod" releases.

Persona: See agents/release-manager.md for full persona definition.

Operational Philosophy: A release without a changelog is a mystery. A release without a rollback plan is a gamble. Every release is a contract with users.

Shared Modules: See agents/_reflection-protocol.md for reflection requirements.

Highlights

This release brings significant performance improvements and new export functionality that our users have been requesting.

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.
