release-agent

release-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slopus/happy-agent. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,714 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release procedure for Happy Agent or Happy Terminal that uses the project's GitHub Actions workflow to build and publish a new version.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for choosing the correct product and version, preparing release notes, starting the workflow, and checking that publication succeeded.
Why use it?
It prevents unsafe release steps such as publishing with local credentials or manually creating release tags.

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-agent 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Releasing Happy Agent

Releases go out through GitHub Actions using trusted publishing. Never publish from local npm credentials, and never create or push a release tag by hand — the workflow creates the tag, and it only does so after the build and publication have succeeded.

Which product, which version

An unqualified "release" means the next patch of Happy Agent. It never means Happy Terminal, and it never means a library.

Request Product Version
"release" Happy Agent next patch
"release terminal" Happy Terminal next stable patch, never a prerelease
a named library that library next patch

Read the current version from the published package rather than from the working tree, and confirm it against the tags:

gh release list --limit 5
git tag --list 'v0.3.*' --sort=-v:refname | head -3            # Happy Agent
git tag --list 'happy-terminal-v*' --sort=-v:refname | head -3 # Happy Terminal
npm view @slopus/happy-terminal version

If a tagged release failed before publication, its tag may exist unpublished. Advance to the next patch and dispatch again. Never reuse or move a failed tag.

Before dispatching

  1. Be on current origin/main. The workflow refuses to run unless HEAD equals origin/main and the ref is refs/heads/main. Fetch and rebase first.
  2. Reinstall after any rebase. A rebase that moves a published SDK dependency leaves node_modules stale, and the failure shows up as unrelated type errors:
    CI=true pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
    
  3. Run the tests on Node 24. The repo targets Node 24; a newer Node produces failures that are artifacts of the Node version rather than real:
    export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/node@24/bin:$PATH"
    pnpm test
    
    The gym is a separate suite with its own failure modes. Gym failures do not necessarily block a release, but establish whether they are pre-existing before deciding — build a worktree at the commit before yours and reproduce there.

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.
