silo-release-publish

silo-release-publish is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from silo-code/silo. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-publishing guide for the Silo app on GitHub. A draft release is a saved release that is not public yet, while a pre-release is a separate package-release category handled by automation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking the gap since the last public Silo app release, verifying draft assets, expanding release notes, publishing the draft, and confirming the updater sees it.
Why use it?
It helps ensure that all unpublished changes and release assets are included before users receive the release and the updater can find it.

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

silo-release-publish scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.

Publishing a Silo release

Silo app releases land as drafts on purpose — a soak-test checkpoint before they go public (see apps/docs/guide/release-channels.md). Publishing is a separate, manual step, and it is the moment the release becomes real: GitHub's "Latest" slot, the website download button, the docs download links, and every existing install's auto-updater all follow /releases/latest immediately.

Because drafts accumulate silently, the version you're asked to publish is often not one version ahead of what users are running. Always establish the gap before writing notes.

Package releases (sdk-*, git-api-*) are pre-releases and are published by CI. This skill is only for silo-v* app releases.

1. Establish the gap

gh release list --limit 10
gh api repos/silo-code/silo/releases --jq '.[] | select(.draft==false) | select(.tag_name|startswith("silo-")) | .tag_name' | head -3

The first published silo-v* tag is what users are actually on. Every draft between it and the one you're publishing is a version whose changes ship silently unless you fold them into the notes.

2. Verify the draft is complete

gh release view silo-vX.Y.Z --json name,isDraft,isPrerelease,tagName,assets \
  --jq '"draft:\(.isDraft) pre:\(.isPrerelease)", (.assets[] | "\(.name)  \(.size)  \(.state)")'

Do not publish unless all of these are present and uploaded:

  • latest.json — the updater manifest
  • macOS: Silo_X.Y.Z_aarch64.dmg, Silo_X.Y.Z_x64.dmg, Silo_aarch64.app.tar.gz(+.sig), Silo_x64.app.tar.gz(+.sig)
  • Windows: Silo_X.Y.Z_x64-setup.exe(+.sig), Silo_X.Y.Z_x64_en-US.msi(+.sig)
  • Linux: Silo_X.Y.Z_amd64.AppImage(+.sig), Silo_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb(+.sig), Silo-X.Y.Z-1.x86_64.rpm(+.sig)

A missing .sig means the updater will reject the build for that platform — stop and investigate rather than publishing a partial release.

Confirm latest.json names the version you expect:

gh api -H "Accept: application/octet-stream" \
  "$(gh release view silo-vX.Y.Z --json assets --jq '.assets[]|select(.name=="latest.json")|.apiUrl')" \
  | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['version'])"

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.

silo-release-publish is a skill published in the GitHub repository silo-code/silo (55 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,412 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
