merge-and-release

merge-and-release is a skill for Claude Code from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference guide for checking whether a pull request is ready to merge and for preparing versioned releases and changelogs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps verify merge prerequisites, choose semantic-version changes, and generate release notes.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of merging code without approval or passing checks, and helps keep release decisions deliberate.

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

merge-and-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 today.

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.

Merge and Release

Policy reference for /flow:merge and /flow:release; the runnable bash lives in commands/merge.md and commands/release.md.

Contract

Iron law: merge is irreversible in practice — every prerequisite is verified with fresh evidence, never memory, and merge and release are Tier 3 (explicit human confirmation, even in autonomous mode). Consumed by /flow:merge Phase 1 (five-check gate plus finding-ledger check), Phase 2 (Merge Assessment), Phase 3 (confirm and execute), Phase 4 (post-merge), and by /flow:release Phases 2–5 (version, changelog, confirm and execute, post-release). Returns the checks, stop conditions, settings, and execution sequence those commands apply. Permitted skips: none — a failed prerequisite stops the command without asking "merge anyway?"; an override happens only by the human acting outside the command.

Five-Check Gate (/flow:merge Phase 1)

# Check Requirement
1 Approval At least one approval, no outstanding requested changes
2 CI checks statusCheckRollup all success
3 Mergeable mergeable == "MERGEABLE"
4 Conversations Unresolved review threads == 0 (GraphQL reviewThreads; the REST field is incomplete)
5 Stale approval No commits after the last approval timestamp

Plus the pr-lifecycle finding-ledger check: non-empty ESCALATED or unmatched FINDINGS blocks.

Stale approval: compare the latest submittedAt among reviews with state == "APPROVED" against the committedDate of the newest commit. Commits after approval: warn "Approval may be stale", request re-review, do not merge — the approver has not seen what would be merged.

Stop Conditions

Any prerequisite fails, stale approval, unresolved conversations > 0, unfinished checks, or ledger gate fails: stop. No "override the gate" option exists in autonomous mode. Never --auto: it waits only for required checks (commands/merge.md).

Merge Execution (Phases 2–4)

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.
