release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tallesborges/zdx. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for preparing and publishing a new version of the zdx software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing changes since the previous release, choosing a semantic version, updating the changelog, starting the release build, and verifying publication.
Why use it?
It organizes version changes, release notes, and the manual build-and-publish process in one sequence.

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 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.

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

Release zdx

zdx releases are manual and intentional — cut one when a set of features/fixes is ready, not on every commit. The mechanical build+publish lives in .github/workflows/release.yml (workflow_dispatch only). This skill is the human-facing flow that wraps it: pick a version, write a changelog, dispatch, verify.

Source of truth

  • Version: root Cargo.toml[workspace.package] version. All crates inherit it via version.workspace = true, and zdx --version reports it (clap reads CARGO_PKG_VERSION). Bump it in this one place.
  • Tag convention: v<version> (e.g. version 0.4.0 → tag v0.4.0).
  • Binaries built by the workflow: aarch64-apple-darwin (macOS), x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

Flow

1. Review what changed since the last release

git fetch --tags
last=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
echo "Last release: ${last:-<none>}"
git log --oneline ${last:+$last..}HEAD

Group commits into a short changelog (Features / Fixes / Other). Prefer the user's framing of "what shipped" over raw commit subjects. If nothing meaningful changed, say so and stop.

2. Pick the next version

Semver on root Cargo.toml[workspace.package] version. Pre-1.0 (0.y.z), so y acts like "major" and z like "patch". Decide by scanning the conventional-commit types in git log <last-tag>..HEAD:

Commits since last release Bump Example
Any feat, or any breaking change (! / BREAKING CHANGE) minor 0.4.00.5.0
Only fix / perf / refactor / chore / docs / test / build / ci (nothing users can newly invoke, nothing breaking) patch 0.4.00.4.1

Rule of thumb: one feat or ! anywhere in the range forces a minor; an all-fixes/chores/docs range is a patch. Pre-1.0 keeps breaking changes in the minor slot (no major bump until 1.0). Confirm the version with the user if unsure.

This type-based decision assumes every commit follows Conventional Commits (type(scope): summary), which the git-workflow skill already enforces. If the range has non-conventional subjects you can't classify, fall back to judging by actual user-visible behavior — any new user-invocable capability → minor; otherwise patch — and lean on the user's framing of "what shipped" from step 1.

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 tallesborges/zdx (20 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,180 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 2026-08-30.
