release-workflow

A release checklist covering change logs, README updates, version numbers, commits, pushes, tags, and release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing and publishing a software release, including checking tests, feature references, and project counts.
Why use it?
It helps prevent code from being released with missing documentation or stale project information.

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-workflow 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.

What it actually says

Release Workflow Standards

Mandatory Release Cycle

Every time code is pushed:

  1. Update CHANGELOG.md — add entries for all changes since last push
  2. Review README.md — update test counts, version references, any stale data
  3. Commit docsgit add CHANGELOG.md README.md && git commit -m "docs: ..."
  4. Pushgit push
  5. Create/update release — tag + release notes on GitHub (or equivalent)

Never push code without updating CHANGELOG + README first. Never skip the release.

CHANGELOG Format

Follow Keep a Changelog:

## [VERSION] — YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- New features

### Fixed
- Bug fixes

### Changed
- Modifications to existing behavior

### Removed
- Deprecated features

Group entries by FID when applicable. Include file references in parentheses.

README Maintenance

On every release, verify:

  • Version number matches Cargo.toml / package.json
  • Test count matches cargo test output
  • FID count matches dev/fids/ directory
  • All referenced features still exist
  • No stale links or descriptions

AGENTS.md

Each project should have an AGENTS.md at the root with:

  • Project-specific release workflow (may override this standard)
  • Build & test commands
  • Protocol version reference
  • Any project-specific conventions

Version Bumping

  • Patch (0.1.0 → 0.1.1): Bug fixes, small improvements
  • Minor (0.1.0 → 0.2.0): New features, non-breaking changes
  • Major (0.1.0 → 1.0.0): Breaking changes, architecture shifts

Update VERSION file first, then propagate to all config files.

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.
