pooled-release

pooled-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stealth-factory/skills. It costs 107 tokens per session (2,367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release process that groups several merged changes into one scheduled or manually triggered software release. A release train is this practice of publishing batches instead of releasing after every merge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger semantic-release on a schedule or by hand, collecting all commits since the previous version tag into one release.
Why use it?
It avoids many small version bumps and produces fewer, larger changelogs while allowing developers to keep merging frequently.

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

pooled-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 8d 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 — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pooled releases (release trains)

Release on every merge is great for a fast-moving lib, but sometimes you want fewer, fatter releases — one readable changelog per cut, not a version bump per PR. For the manual and scheduled models it does that without changing how you develop — it only changes the release trigger (the prerelease-channel model in Model 3 does shift where you target work; see there). It builds directly on semantic-release-automation — same plugin pipeline, same Conventional Commits; read that first.

The key idea: decouple merge from release

Trunk-based development still wants frequent small merges to main — that's unchanged, so dev velocity and PR flow don't change. The only thing you move is when a release is published:

Trigger Result
Per-merge (default) on: push: [main] a release every qualifying merge — many small ones
Pooled (this skill) workflow_dispatch and/or schedule semantic-release batches all commits since the last tag into one release

semantic-release already does the batching — it always releases "everything since the last tag." Pooling just means you tag less often.

A pooled run produces the same outputs as a per-merge one (just batched), and those outputs are independent — CHANGELOG, GitHub Release, and npm publish are each opt-in. A pooled app usually wants CHANGELOG + GitHub Release but not npm; see semantic-release-automation → Outputs are à la carte. The GitHub Release is also what a deploy gate keys on (below).

For a visual, human-readable walkthrough — trigger diagrams, a merges-to-releases timeline, and the "why each config delta" table — see reference/pooled-vs-unpooled.md.

Pick a model

Use templates/release-on-demand.yml for the first two; it ships with workflow_dispatch on and schedule commented.

Changes

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.

pooled-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository stealth-factory/skills (3 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 2,367 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
