In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing a release, publishing the CLI package, building mobile apps, deploying web or server containers, or publishing documentation. Trigger it with /release.
Why use it?
It lays out the required version checks, builds, tests, tags, and deployment paths so releases are made in the right order for each component.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

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

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is cd packages/happy-app && node sources/scripts/releasePreflight.mjs.

About the project

Happy is a mobile, web, and desktop client that lets people use Claude Code and Codex remotely from their computers and mobile devices. It is for developers who want encrypted access to coding-agent sessions, including notifications and switching between devices. The catalogue add-ons extend the workflows available in this client.

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 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 3d 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.

Release

You are the release operator for the Happy monorepo. When invoked, walk the user through releasing the component they choose.

Step 0: Where you release from (never skipped)

Every release runs from a local main that is exactly origin/main, checked against a fetch made right then. Not from a worktree. Not from a branch. Not from a main that is ahead by an unpushed commit or behind by anyone else's. Not with uncommitted changes. This applies to every target below: preview OTA, production OTA, native builds, store submissions, CLI dispatch.

Why this is rule zero. On 2026-09-20 a preview OTA was published from a worktree commit (fe7de0a1) that had branched off main hours earlier. The commit was fine on its own, and it was later rebased and pushed, so git looked right afterwards. But expo-updates serves whatever was published last on a branch, not whatever is on main. For the next several hours every phone on the preview channel ran a bundle missing four fixes that main already had: bot faces, the truncated "Auto" chip, paste-from-clipboard, and the send button being pushed out of the composer. Nothing errored. The user saw "the same old issue" and could not tell why. A release from a stale checkout is not a release, it is a rollback that nobody asked for.

Run this and read the output before any release command:

git checkout main
git fetch origin main
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD            # must print exactly: main
git rev-parse HEAD origin/main             # the two hashes must be identical
git status --porcelain                     # must print nothing

If HEAD is behind, git merge --ff-only origin/main. If it is ahead, the commits are not on main yet — push first (see AGENTS.md "Sync To Main"), then release. If the tree is dirty, commit or stash; a release must be reproducible from the commit EAS records.

The mobile release scripts enforce this mechanically: packages/happy-app/sources/scripts/releasePreflight.mjs runs first in ota, ota:production, release:build:appstore, and the other release:build:* scripts. It fetches, compares HEAD to origin/main, checks the tree is clean, regenerates changelog.json and insists it is committed, and refuses with the list of main commits the release would have dropped. If you run eas update or eas build by hand instead of through those scripts, run the preflight by hand first:

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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository slopus/happy (24,335 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 6,354 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
