happy-agent: Skill for Claude Code

.agent/skills/release-agent/SKILL.md

release-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slopus/happy-agent. It costs 55 tokens per session (3,011 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.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

This is slopus/happy-agent's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on happy-agent 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 happy-agent configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/release/validateReleaseNotes.ts v0.4.67-preview.1.

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 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 yesterday.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.

The release master plan coordinates Agent, Desktop native, and hosted renderer releases. Preserve the user's authorized scope across handoffs under the runtime's trusted authorization policy. Do not re-ask preemptively for authorized work. If the runtime denies an action, stop it, explain the denial, and follow its rules for fresh approval. Publish and verify changed SDKs before updating consumers, then prepare and dispatch independent products in parallel once their dependencies are ready. Wait only at actual dependency gates, and verify every requested product before reporting completion.

Which product, which version

An unqualified "release" means a Happy Agent preview. Production must be explicit. Neither means a library unless that library is named.

Before choosing production, check that the user explicitly requested a production or stable release for this product in the current task. A request to "release", "ship", or push is not production authorization; default to preview. An existing explicit request is sufficient: do not ask for redundant confirmation.

Use the candidate ourselves in the affected workflows for at least a brief soak before releasing it to production. Passing tests or CI alone does not count as that use. If the candidate has not been used, keep it in preview and explain what still needs to be tried. No fixed soak duration or previously published preview is required.

Request Product Version
"release" Happy Agent next patch followed by -preview.N
"release production" Happy Agent next stable patch; no preview needed
"release stable" Happy Agent same as production
a named library that library next patch

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.
