release

release is a skill for Claude Code from thettwe/nyann. It costs 207 tokens per session (2,819 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release tool that turns Conventional Commits—commits with standard prefixes such as feat or fix—into a changelog section, a release commit, and an annotated Git tag.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a versioned release from commits made since the previous tag.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive work of reviewing commits and preparing the same release files and Git metadata by hand.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash bin/pre-action-guard.sh --flow release --target <cwd> [--profile <resolved-profile.json>].

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 3d 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 — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

release

Wraps bin/release.sh. Default strategy is conventional-changelog: walk the commit range since the last matching tag, group commits by Conventional Commits type, prepend a CHANGELOG block, commit the changelog, then annotated-tag v<version>.

0. Drift check (quick, non-blocking)

Run bash bin/session-check.sh --flow=release. If it produces output, surface the line to the user verbatim. Do not block the flow.

1. Suggest version (when not explicitly provided)

When the user does not supply an explicit --version, run bin/recommend-version.sh to suggest one:

bin/recommend-version.sh --target <cwd> [--tag-prefix <p>]

Show the recommendation to the user:

Based on commits since <current>, I'd suggest <recommended> (<bump> bump — <reason>). Shall I proceed with <recommended>, or would you prefer a different version?

Wait for confirmation before proceeding. The user can accept, override with a different version, or abort.

When the user does supply an explicit version (e.g. "release v2.0.0"), skip this step entirely — don't second-guess them.

When the user says "bump minor" / "bump major" / "bump patch", run recommend-version.sh to get the current version, then apply the requested bump type (ignore the script's own recommendation). Confirm the computed version with the user before proceeding.

2. Collect inputs

  • --version <x.y.z> — required for release.sh. Must be semver (or x.y.z-prerelease). Populated from step 1 when the user accepted the suggestion, or from their explicit input.
  • --strategy — defaults to conventional-changelog. Override to manual when the user says "just tag it, skip the changelog". changesets / release-please are soft-skip values: the script emits a skip record pointing the user at those tools directly.
  • --changelog <path> — defaults to CHANGELOG.md. Override when the repo uses a different file.
  • --tag-prefix <p> — defaults to v. Override for monorepos that namespace tags (api-v1.2.0).
  • --from <ref> — defaults to the latest tag matching tag_prefix. Override when the user says "include everything since commit X".

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.
