release-code

release-code is a skill for Codex from Tx1207/hello-scholar. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,017 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for preparing a public release of the research code behind a paper's results. It traces the smallest relevant code path, removes private material, and checks whether others can reproduce the reported results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assemble a separate public repository, document supported paper claims and licenses, check for leaks, and verify reproduction against reported results.
Why use it?
It helps separate publishable research code from development files, secrets, abandoned experiments, and internal history. It also prevents claims from being released without known data, settings, or reproduction conditions.

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-code 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Code

A public release lets others reproduce the paper's results and understand the method without seeing internal paths, secrets, abandoned experiments, or development history. The development repository stays the single source of truth: the release is regenerated from it, never developed in parallel.

Define what the release must support

Start from the claims the release backs: the results reported in the paper, or a subset of Runs the user selects. The release reproduces those claims, not every Run Record in the project. For each claim, record the reported value, the tolerance within which a reproduction counts, and the Run that produced it when one exists; the Run supplies the exact conditions, such as config, checkpoint, and data. Keep this scope in a release Spec of type capability through manage-specs: one AC-NN per claim with its reported value, tolerance, and Run IDs, the code paths included, explicit exclusions, the license, third-party code and its licenses, and the public repository. A claim whose producing conditions cannot be found is reported as such, not released on trust.

Trace the minimal code path

From each Run's entry and effective config, follow imports and config references to the code actually executed, and bring only that path. Fast research iteration often leaves several copies of one script that differ by constants; release one parameterized entry point with the variants as configs. Rewrite for readability where needed without changing the computation. Leave out dead experiments, cluster launch wrappers, and debugging switches.

Assemble on an isolated branch

The public repository must never receive development history. By default, create an orphan branch named release, check it out in a separate worktree outside the development tree, such as ../<repo>-release, add the public repository as remote public, and map pushes to that branch only:

git config remote.public.push refs/heads/release:refs/heads/main

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

release-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository Tx1207/hello-scholar (10 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,017 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-22.
