glyphs-mcp-release

glyphs-mcp-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thierryc/Glyphs-mcp. It costs 79 tokens per session (952 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for preparing, checking, building, signing, notarizing, and publishing releases of Glyphs MCP. Glyphs MCP is the software project whose release files and version information it manages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing a release version, preparing installer files, running release checks, creating a tag or draft, or uploading verified release assets.
Why use it?
It helps keep versions, bundled files, installers, release notes, and published assets synchronized. It also separates local preparation from actions that publish or distribute a release.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

glyphs-mcp-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 12d 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.

Glyphs MCP Release

Treat preparation, signed artifact production, asset upload, and public release as separate authorization boundaries.

Establish the release state

  1. Work from the Glyphs MCP repository root. Read CODEX.md, the current changelog, and the canonical release documentation before changing anything.
  2. Inspect the branch, worktree, index, remotes, latest release tag, and divergence from main. Preserve unrelated or uncommitted work; never discard it to make a release gate pass.
  3. Identify the exact semantic version, installer build number, release base commit, intended branch, and requested phase. Default to local release-candidate preparation when the user has not authorized an external action.
  4. Record any safety stash or backup created during integration. Do not drop it until the restored tree and release candidate are verified.

Prepare the candidate

  1. Run scripts/bump_version.py X.Y.Z, increment the integer installer build, and verify both plug-in plists, Xcode marketing/build versions, download links, and command-set version text.
  2. Synchronize source and Plugin Manager runtime files using the repository packaging path appropriate to the change. Inspect the resulting diff; do not overwrite unrelated bundle work.
  3. Add every canonical skill to scripts/sync_codex_plugin_skills.sh and MANAGED_SKILL_NAMES, then run the synchronization script. Treat skills/ as canonical and plugins/glyphs-mcp/skills/ as generated.
  4. Update CHANGELOG.md, public setup/skill documentation, command/reference pages, and content/contributor/release-build-notes.mdx. Keep claims tied to tests actually run.
  5. Update the production tool catalog, schemas, prompts, routing fixtures, and release-surface tests whenever a public tool or result contract changed.

Validate locally

  1. Run focused tests while iterating, then the complete local release gate with an accepted Python interpreter.
  2. Build the documentation website and validate every canonical and packaged skill with quick_validate.py.
  3. Run release metadata, catalog/documentation, installer, plug-in mirror, and packaged-skill synchronization checks. Run git diff --check last.
  4. Perform the applicable manual matrix from the release QA protocol on disposable copies. Use Glyphs 3.5 and Glyphs 4 when compatibility is in scope.
  5. Never save an open font automatically. Snapshot document/file state for live read-only checks and report whether it remained unchanged.
  6. For staging-only updater releases, require Prepare Update wording, an explicit not-installed state, a trusted release link, and proof that the installed plug-in remains unchanged.

Changes

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.
