release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from syhily/kobato. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,150 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-led workflow for publishing a Kobato project release, including version changes, branches, tags, and a GitHub release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when releasing a specified version and preparing the next development version.
Why use it?
It organizes the many release steps and checks that the project is on the right branch with no uncommitted changes.

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 5d 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 — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release

Execute a Kobato release. The user provides two arguments:

  1. $version — the version to release (e.g. 6.3.0).
  2. $next_version — the next development version on develop (e.g. 6.4.0-dev).

The entire release lifecycle runs automatically: analyze commits, draft notes, bump version, push to develop, fast-forward merge to main, tag and create the GitHub release, switch back to develop, prepare the next cycle, and push.

Step 0: Validate arguments

Both $version and $next_version must be present and match X.Y.Z or X.Y.Z-prerelease (e.g. 6.3.0, 6.3.0-beta.1, 6.4.0-dev). If either is missing or malformed, stop and ask the user for the correct value.

Step 1: Validate preconditions

  • Run git branch --show-current — must be on develop.
  • Run git status --porcelain — working tree must be clean. If dirty, stop and tell the user to commit or stash.
  • Run node scripts/release.ts since-last — note the last released tag.

Step 2: Analyze commits

Run git log <last-tag>..HEAD --format="%h %s" to get all commits since the last release.

If there are zero commits, tell the user there's nothing to release and stop.

Step 3: Study the release notes style

Run gh release view <last-tag> to read the most recent release notes body. This is your primary style reference.

Also read the second-most-recent release for additional context: run gh release view <tag-before-that>.

Internalize these style rules:

  • Title: ## Kobato X.Y.Z (h2, with "Kobato" prefix)
  • Lead paragraph: 1–2 sentences summarizing the release themes, with bolded feature names inline
  • Sections: Use ### headers with emoji prefixes — ### ✨ New Features, ### 🛡️ Security Hardening, ### 🏗️ Architecture & Refactoring, ### 🔧 Build & Dependencies, ### 🐛 Fixes. Only include sections that have entries. Add extra sections (e.g., ### 🎨 UI Redesign, ### 🎵 Music Player) if a thematic grouping makes sense.
  • Sub-headers: **Bold Title Case** to group related items within a section.
  • Bullets: Each change is a single - bullet, concise and technical. Describe what changed and often why. Use sentence case.
  • Language: English. Technical, precise, no first person.
  • Emojis: Only as section header prefixes, never inline.
  • Footer: **Full Changelog**: [prev...current](https://github.com/syhily/kobato/compare/PREV...CURRENT) — a clickable markdown link

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.
