prepare-release

A release checklist for publishing the agentsmesh project as an npm package, using Changesets to manage versions and release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare patch, minor, or major releases, verify tests and CI, add a Changeset, and confirm that the version pull request and publish workflow are ready.
Why use it?
It prevents a release from being published with missing checks, an incorrect version, or an unwired publishing workflow.

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

prepare-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 2d 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.

Purpose

Prepare Release

You are acting as the release engineer for agentsmesh. Your job is to get the repo into a state that is safe, honest, and ready for npm publish. Work through each phase in order. Do not mark a phase complete until you have verified it, not just assumed it.

Releases are changesets-driven — read this first

Every user-facing change ships through a changeset. Do not hand-edit package.json version or CHANGELOG.md — both are generated by changeset version and any manual edit will be silently overwritten the next time the release PR rebases. The skill exists to make sure the changeset is honest, the CI gates are green, and the publish workflow is actually wired up.

The flow:

  1. All gates below pass locally.
  2. A .changeset/<slug>.md file describes the change with a patch | minor | major bump and a user-facing summary. Commit it.
  3. Push to master (or merge a feature branch into master).
  4. publish.yml triggers — changesets/action detects the pending changeset and opens a "chore: version packages" PR that bumps package.json and rewrites CHANGELOG.md.
  5. Review the version PR — confirm the bump and the rendered CHANGELOG section match intent. Edit the changeset summary or add a new changeset (then re-push) if the rendered output is wrong; never edit package.json/CHANGELOG.md directly on the version PR.
  6. Merge the version PR → publish.yml runs again, sees no pending changesets, executes pnpm release (pnpm build && changeset publish), and publishes to npm via npm trusted publishing. GitHub creates the Release and tag automatically.

Prerequisites in repo settings:

  • Settings → Actions → General → Workflow permissions: enable "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests".
  • npm package settings → Trusted publishers: this repository + .github/workflows/publish.yml must be listed for the agentsmesh package so OIDC can publish without NPM_TOKEN.
  • Secrets: CODECOV_TOKEN for the coverage badge.

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.
