XerahS: Skill for Codex

.ai/skills/publish-release/SKILL.md

publish-release is a skill for Codex from ShareX/XerahS. It costs 24 tokens per session (4,423 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A step-by-step release procedure for the XerahS project, including its code, changelog, version details, and published release.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare maintenance changes, update release notes, check the build, create and publish Git changes and tags, sync Chocolatey metadata, and watch GitHub Actions (automated checks).
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of missing a required release step or creating inconsistent version information across the project and Chocolatey package.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

This is ShareX/XerahS's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on XerahS itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything XerahS configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

publish-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/bump-version-commit-tag.sh, scripts/prepare-distro-repo-assets.sh, scripts/prepare-flathub-source-build.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 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.
