rove: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from Sma1lboy/rove. It costs 160 tokens per session (3,203 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.

This is Sma1lboy/rove's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rove 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 rove configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 33
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 210
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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 17d 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 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 on demand. Merging a PR only banks its changeset; nothing ships until someone runs .github/workflows/changesets.yml (CI-green wait → version + commit → tag → dispatch release.yml). That workflow is the default path: do Step 1 against origin/main (the workflow releases whatever is banked there), then gh workflow run changesets.yml --ref main, find the run with gh run list --workflow=changesets.yml --limit 1, watch it with gh run watch <run-id> --exit-status, and go to Step 4. Use the local scripts/release.sh flow (Steps 0–3) only when Actions is unavailable or the user asks for it, and never while a changesets.yml run is in 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.
