build-and-release

build-and-release is a skill for Claude Code from thedotmack/claude-mem. It costs 13 tokens per session (82 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An automation workflow that builds a coding task, merges its ready pull request, and then releases it. It runs these stages through a sequence of coding-agent skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for coding tasks that are ready to be built, merged into the updated main branch, and released.
Why use it?
Build, merge, and release steps can otherwise require repeated manual handoffs. This provides one defined workflow for carrying a completed coding task through those stages.

About the project

Claude-Mem, now presented as Grok Mem, records an agent's work, compresses it with AI, and brings relevant notes into later sessions so the agent can remember decisions and next steps. It is intended for persistent context across agent conversations and supports multiple coding-agent environments. The catalogue add-ons provide the workflows and integrations used to operate this memory system.

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

build-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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Build and Release

Deploy a subagent to fully automate a coding session as if it were typing in it itself.

Use these claude-mem skills in order:

  1. build
  2. Merge the ready PR and continue from updated main.
  3. release

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.
