release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sma1lboy/rove. It costs 155 tokens per session (3,289 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release automation guide for Rove, a software package published to npm. It checks pending changes, chooses the version increase, runs release checks, and follows GitHub Actions until publishing finishes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to release Rove versions, create a version tag, push the release, monitor the publishing workflow, and confirm that the package is available on npm.
Why use it?
It removes the need to perform each release step by hand while preventing conflicts with an already-running automatic release. It stops and reports the problem when a human decision is needed.

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 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.

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 Rove

Autonomous release driver for @sma1lboy/rove. This is the supervised loop the manual flow in docs/RELEASING.md describes — read that doc once if anything here is ambiguous; it is the source of truth and this skill must never contradict it.

Releases are automatic (.github/workflows/changesets.yml, since 2026-08-12): any push to main carrying pending changesets triggers the full chain in Actions — CI-green wait → version+commit → tag → publish. When the user asks to release, FIRST check whether that workflow already has it: gh run list --workflow=changesets.yml --limit 3. If a run is mid-flight or completed for the relevant push, jump to Step 4 (watch the publish pipeline / verify npm). Run the scripts/release.sh flow below only when the automatic path is unavailable (Actions down) or the user explicitly asks for the local flow — and never while a changesets.yml run is mid-flight on the same version (they'd race to tag it).

The job is: detect the bump → gate → bump/tag/push → watch CI → confirm published, or stop with a precise report. Do the whole chain without hand-holding, but stop and surface (never guess) at the two human-judgment gates marked ⚠ ASK below.

Hard rules (non-negotiable)

  • Never force-push. No git push -f, no --force-with-lease, no git reset --hard on a shared branch, no retag-over-existing. If a tag or push conflicts, stop and report — recovery is the user's call.
  • Bump default is patch. Per AGENTS.md: pre-1.0 Rove ships features as patches. A minor/major only happens when the user explicitly said so this turn, OR a pending changeset already carries that bump — and the second case is exactly the trap to flag (see Step 1).
  • Release lands on main only. Verify branch before and after. A release on a stray feature branch is the #1 historical failure — catch it early.
  • No --no-verify, no skipping hooks. If a gate fails, fix the cause or stop.
  • The release commit is chore: release — X.Y.Z. No AI/Claude attribution anywhere (commit, tag, GitHub release body).

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 Sma1lboy/rove (115 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 155 tokens to every session and 3,289 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 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.
