run-release

run-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seed-hypermedia/seed. It costs 22 tokens per session (879 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release runbook for preparing a production software release, including checks, tagging, continuous integration, release notes, and a latest.json file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when releasing a new version from the main branch and following the project's documented release process.
Why use it?
It turns release work into a defined sequence and checks the code before creating and publishing a release tag.

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

run-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 3d 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.

Run Release

Execute the release process in docs/releasing.md. That doc is canonical for the process details; this skill is the interactive runbook. Invoking this skill counts as explicit permission to create and push the release tag, but confirm the version number with the user before pushing it.

Steps

  1. Preflight: confirm you are on main, the working tree is clean, and local main matches origin/main. Abort and report if not.
  2. Determine the version (YYYY.M.N, see docs/releasing.md): check git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -5. If the latest tag is from the current month, increment its last number; otherwise start at .1 for the current month.
  3. Verify CI is green for the commit BEFORE tagging. The release workflows gate on the same frontend-tests (Lint, unit tests, e2e), so a red commit means a doomed release run and a re-tag. Check the existing result first — a push to main already triggered Dev - Docker Images on this exact commit: gh run list --workflow "Dev - Docker Images" --branch main --limit 5 --json headSha,status,conclusion,databaseId
    • Green for the commit → proceed.
    • Red → diagnose with gh run view <id>; fix on main first, then restart at step 1.
    • Still running or missing → don't wait for it; releases are often cut in a rush. Instead run the most obvious, fastest checks locally and then tag. In order of cost-effectiveness:
      • Root pnpm format:check (~1 min; the most common release-killer). The root script chains pnpm workspaces, then agents/, then vault/ with && — later groups are masked until earlier ones pass, so only the root script proves all of them.
      • Unit tests for packages touched since the last green CI run (e.g. cd frontend/apps/desktop && pnpm exec vitest run; cd agents && bun test).
      • Skip slow suites (e2e, backend, builds) — the release workflow runs full CI anyway; the local pass only exists to avoid tagging a commit that is dead on arrival.
  4. Confirm the version and the commit to be tagged with the user.
  5. Tag and push: git tag <version> && git push origin <version>.
  6. Wait for the release workflows (Release - Desktop App, Release - Docker Images) to go green: gh run list --workflow release-desktop.yml, then gh run watch <run-id>. Builds take tens of minutes — keep waiting, don't proceed early. If a workflow fails, stop and report.
  7. Draft release notes for <prev-tag>..<version> following the voice, grouping, and exclusion rules in the releasenotes skill, but match the exact format of the last few published releases (gh release view <prev-tag>). Key rules from docs/releasing.md:
    • Very short feature entries; many commits often collapse into one line.
    • No entries for regressions introduced and fixed since the previous tag — never released, users never saw them.
    • End with the **Full Changelog** compare link.
  8. Show the draft to the user and apply their edits, then publish: gh release edit <version> --notes-file <tmpfile> --prerelease=false --latest (the workflow creates the release as a prerelease; this promotes it).
  9. Publish latest.json so desktop auto-update sees the release: gh workflow run "Generate latest.json (prod)" and confirm the run succeeds.
  10. Report: version, release URL, and the state of each step.

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.
