github-project-release

github-project-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sidiangongyuan/codex-skills-library. It costs 52 tokens per session (950 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for preparing a local software project as a clean GitHub repository, a remote code-hosting project others can inspect or download. It is designed especially for research code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new repository, stage a private release, update an existing GitHub remote, or package research code for public sharing.
Why use it?
It removes unwanted datasets, model checkpoints, logs, paper files, and generated outputs before release. It also helps replace stale project documentation with information that explains the current code.

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

github-project-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 1 executable file (scripts/github_project_release.py), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Project Release

Turn a local project into a clean GitHub repository that is safe to make public later. Default to research-code release behavior: clean copy first, private GitHub repo first, audit before push.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the source project before copying.

    • Identify the runnable entrypoints, key configs, curated figures/tables, license, citation files, and upstream dependencies.
    • Treat the codebase as source of truth. Do not preserve stale upstream README language as the release front page.
  2. Check credentials.

    • Run scripts/github_project_release.py auth-check.
    • Use the active gh account as the default owner.
    • Never ask the user to paste a GitHub token into chat. If auth is missing, ask them to run gh auth login or provide credentials through a secure non-chat channel.
  3. Prepare a clean release copy.

    • Run scripts/github_project_release.py prepare --source <project> --dest <release-dir>.
    • Keep only what a new user needs to understand and run the project.
    • Exclude datasets, checkpoints, logs, generated outputs, raw experiment dumps, paper PDFs, local submission material, and exploratory files unless the user explicitly overrides the default.
  4. Write or rewrite the README.

    • Read references/readme_playbook.md before drafting README content.
    • Use English by default.
    • Write for external readers, not for the project owner.
    • For research code, cover Context + Run + Cite: what it is, what problem it solves, what is included, how to install/run the minimal path, and how to cite current and upstream work.
  5. Audit before publishing.

    • Run scripts/github_project_release.py audit --path <release-dir>.
    • Treat reported high-risk items as blockers unless the user explicitly accepts them.
    • If a paper link is not public, use Paper link: coming soon. and do not upload PDFs.
  6. Publish privately.

    • Run scripts/github_project_release.py publish --release-dir <release-dir>.
    • If the repo does not exist, create a private repo.
    • If it exists, push only safe non-rewriting updates.
    • Do not force-push, delete, overwrite, or make the repo public unless explicitly requested.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
