release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from syndicalt/zaxy. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,189 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A release workflow for the zaxy-memory project that updates its version, records changes, merges the code, and publishes it to PyPI, the Python package repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ship a new zaxy-memory version, prepare its changelog and pull request, watch CI checks, create a GitHub Release, and verify the PyPI publication.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember each release step and helps prevent mismatched versions, skipped checks, or publishing the wrong code.

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 C, and why

release scanned grade C with 2 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release zaxy-memory

Publishing is irreversible. Two hard gates in this flow require an explicit user go: creating the GitHub Release (step 7) is the only one that publishes.

0. Decide the version

Patch = fixes only. Minor = features/CLI surface changes. Any Breaking entry (even a disclosed one) still fits minor pre-1.0-style per this repo's history (3.1.0 broke export). Confirm choice with the user if mixed.

1. Preflight

cd <repo> && git checkout master && git pull -q origin master
git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no   # must be empty
git log --oneline -3
  • Working tree must be clean. Untracked scratch (reports dirs, .claude/) stays out.
  • Identify what's shipping: git log v<PREV>..HEAD --oneline.

2. Bump the version — THREE fields, not one

grep -n '<OLD_VERSION>' pyproject.toml server.json

Edit all of:

  1. pyproject.tomlversion = "X.Y.Z"
  2. server.json top-level "version"
  3. server.jsonpackages[0].version ← the one that historically gets missed

Re-grep for the old version in both files; zero hits or you're not done.

3. CHANGELOG

Add/finalize ## X.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD at the top (rename ## Unreleased if present). Keep-a-Changelog categories (### Added/Changed/Deprecated/Breaking/Fixed), bold-lead bullets, candid tone. Breaking changes get a migration line.

4. Release PR

git checkout -b release/X.Y.Z
git add pyproject.toml server.json CHANGELOG.md
git commit  # "release: X.Y.Z — <em-dash summary>" + body + Co-Authored-By trailer
git push -u origin release/X.Y.Z
gh pr create --base master --title "release: X.Y.Z — <summary>" --body "<what it bundles>"
gh pr checks <N> --watch --interval 30

All checks must pass. If coverage fails see the ci-triage skill — never lower the floor.

5. Merge (rebase, never squash)

gh pr merge <N> --rebase --delete-branch
git checkout master && git pull -q origin master

6. Verify master CI on the EXACT merged tip

CI runs are per-SHA — a green "latest" may be the previous tip.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository syndicalt/zaxy (17 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,189 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
