Release

A release workflow for preparing and publishing a new version of the linear-cli project, including its changelog and version number.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review commits since the last release, update the changelog, choose a semantic version change, run release checks, and create the release tag.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of publishing undocumented changes, the wrong version number, or a release that has not been tested.

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.

Release Workflow

This skill provides a systematic workflow for creating and publishing releases for the linear-cli project. It handles changelog management, version bumping, testing, and tagging.

When to Use

Use this skill when preparing to release a new version of linear-cli. The workflow ensures all changes are documented, tests pass, and versions are properly tagged before publishing.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following tools are available:

  • changelog skill for changelog management
  • svbump for version bumping (installed)
  • jj for version control operations
  • just for running the release tasks

Release Workflow

Step 1: Review Commits Since Last Release

Determine the commits that have been made since the last release:

jj log --ignore-working-copy --git -r 'tags()..@' --no-graph

This shows all commits from the most recent tag to the current commit.

Step 2: Add Changelog Entries

For each commit identified above, evaluate whether it warrants a changelog entry. Focus on user-facing changes:

Include in changelog:

  • New features
  • Bug fixes
  • Breaking changes
  • Significant improvements
  • Deprecations

Exclude from changelog:

  • Internal refactoring without user impact
  • Documentation-only changes
  • Build/CI configuration changes
  • Chore commits (unless significant)

Use the changelog CLI to add entries. Use --attribute-pr with the commit SHA to automatically look up the associated PR and add attribution, excluding schpet and schpetbot:

changelog add --type <type> "<description>" --attribute-pr <commit-sha> --exclude-users schpet,schpetbot

Omit --attribute-pr for commits without an associated PR or when attribution isn't relevant.

Types match Keep a Changelog categories:

  • added - New features
  • changed - Changes in existing functionality
  • deprecated - Soon-to-be removed features
  • removed - Removed features
  • fixed - Bug fixes
  • security - Security improvements

Step 3: Verify Changelog with User

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.

Release is a skill published in the GitHub repository schpet/linear-cli (936 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,565 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
