apple-mail-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

release is a skill for Claude Code from TG-Techie/apple-mail-mcp. It costs 49 tokens per session (706 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for preparing and publishing a new software version. It covers version updates, change notes, tests, review, tagging, and a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for maintainers releasing a new version: checking milestones, creating a release branch, updating version files, writing a changelog, reviewing coverage, tagging the release, and opening the release pull request.
Why use it?
It gives release work a fixed sequence and checks that milestone issues are closed and test coverage meets the project’s requirement before publishing.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is TG-Techie/apple-mail-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on apple-mail-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything apple-mail-mcp configures →

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 6d 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.

Release Workflow (12 Phases)

Phase 1: Milestone Check

  • List open milestones via gh api
  • Verify 0 open issues in target milestone
  • Stop if issues remain (ask user to move/close)

Phase 2: Version Number

  • Read current version from pyproject.toml (authoritative)
  • Milestone title = target version
  • Confirm with user

Phase 3: Create Release Branch

  • git checkout -b release/vX.Y.Z from main

Phase 4: Bump Version

Update ALL files (pyproject.toml is authoritative):

  1. pyproject.tomlversion = "X.Y.Z"
  2. src/apple_mail_mcp/__init__.py__version__ = "X.Y.Z"
  3. .claude/CLAUDE.md**Version:** vX.Y.Z
  4. README.md — all version references

Phase 5: Generate CHANGELOG

  • Commits since last tag: git log v{prev}..HEAD --oneline
  • PRs since last release: gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>YYYY-MM-DD"
  • Keep a Changelog format: ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD
  • Categories: Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed

Phase 6: Test Coverage Review

  • Run coverage: make coverage
  • Compare against fail_under in pyproject.toml
  • Audit changed files for adequate coverage

Phase 7: Code Review

  • Launch superpowers:code-reviewer against cumulative diff
  • Critical issues block release

Phase 8: Documentation Review

  • README, CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG, docs/**, tool docstrings, skills

Phase 9: Validation

Run ALL checks (stop on failure):

  1. ./scripts/check_version_sync.sh
  2. ./scripts/check_client_server_parity.sh
  3. ./scripts/check_complexity.sh
  4. make test
  5. ./scripts/check_dependencies.sh
  6. ./scripts/check_applescript_safety.sh

Phase 10: Commit, Push, PR

  • Commit: "release: vX.Y.Z"
  • Push: -u origin release/vX.Y.Z
  • PR to main via gh pr create

Phase 11: Merge, Tag, Push Tag

  • Rebase merge: gh pr merge NNN --rebase --delete-branch
  • Tag on main: ./scripts/create_tag.sh vX.Y.Z
  • Push tag: git push origin vX.Y.Z
  • Verify: git describe --tags --abbrev=0

Phase 12: Close Milestone

  • gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/milestones/{number} -f state=closed

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.
