Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00059 | $0.01149 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00575 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00230 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
release-manager 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 6d 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Release Manager
Goal
Prepare and operate a release through repository-owned hosted workflows without creating local tags or releases.
When to use
- The user asks to prepare, review, or draft a release.
- Release setup, component impact, generated version PRs, protected publication, evidence, or OpenAI handoff needs review or execution.
When not to use
- The user wants a PR review before merge; use
pr-review. - The user wants a repository-wide maintenance audit; use
repo-health-audit. - The repository has no explicit hosted release contract; first inspect its native instructions and ADRs.
Inputs
- Requested command and its exact arguments.
- Repository release configuration, manifest, component versions, hosted runs, release environment policy, and publication evidence.
Inputs to inspect
- Inspect the repository-native
release:managesurface before selecting a route. - Check accepted ADRs, current branch/SHA, release history, component versions, hosted validation, environment policy, and evidence by layer.
Process
- Select exactly one supported workflow from the finite set below.
- Verify repository identity, protected state, and the requested command's authority.
- Run the repository-owned command. Read-only commands need no mutation approval;
every hosted dispatch or approval must include
--confirm. - Report local, hosted, publication, evidence, and portal state separately.
- Stop at the next approval or manual portal boundary.
Workflow
The complete workflow set is:

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository stark-ai-de/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,149 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
github-release-briefing-skill
Create a source-linked briefing for the latest published GitHub release of a public repository. Use for engineering teams tracking a dependency release; do not use it to publish releases or change repositories.
taiyi-integration
A project workflow skill for closing a TaiyiForge change and recording it in a CHANGELOG.md file. It checks review results, tests, and the state of the working tree before archiving the change.
changelog-gen
A changelog generator that turns Git history into a version-by-version record of project changes. A changelog is a readable summary of new features, fixes, breaking changes, documentation, and other updates.
changelog-rules
Shared changelog conventions and formatting rules referenced by /create-changelog and /update-changelog. Not typically invoked directly.
release
Cut and publish a full stable NAC release after main, release-PR, and publication CI pass. Use when a maintainer asks for a stable version bump, tag, or GitHub Release. Never use for release candidates; NAC RC releases are automated.
artifact-metadata
Manage artifact metadata, versioning, ownership, and review history across the SDLC lifecycle.
