release-maintainer

release-maintainer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Undertone0809/rudder. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,549 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release-management guide for publishing and checking Rudder software across package registries, GitHub Releases, desktop downloads, tags, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare, publish, verify, recover, roll back, or set up stable and canary releases, including install checks and release notes.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that different public release surfaces show different versions or that a failed release leaves incomplete state.

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-maintainer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Maintainer

Ship or inspect Rudder releases without losing source identity, authorization, or public-surface completeness.

Route Before Reading

Read references/shared.md, then exactly one primary branch:

  • references/stable.md: stable readiness, publish, public notes, Desktop update drill, post-stable cleanup, next-version handoff, and the gate before public announcement.
  • references/canary.md: automatic canary publication, first npm bootstrap, Desktop prerelease assets, and temporary pre-stable latest behavior.
  • references/rollback.md: move npm dist-tags to an already published version without unpublishing packages or rewriting tags.
  • references/partial-recovery.md: npm/tag/Release/Desktop/docs surfaces disagree, a workflow failed after partial publication, or install lookup returns misleading errors.
  • references/setup.md: one-time GitHub environment, npm trusted-publishing, and workflow setup.
  • references/announcement.md: manual Rudder Discord announcement after a stable release has converged. This is a stable closeout add-on, not a primary release branch.

Use a second branch only when the observed state genuinely crosses branches, such as a stable publish that needs partial recovery. Do not preload every reference for a readiness question.

For every hands-on stable release, also read references/announcement.md after the public surfaces, cleanup, and next-version handoff are verified. Keep this as an authenticated maintainer action; do not add it to Release CI or create a webhook unless the user explicitly asks for announcement automation.

Authorization Boundary

An explicit imperative such as release, publish, ship this version, 发版, or 发布 authorizes the complete standard release lifecycle:

  1. resolve and lock the single consistent version and source SHA;
  2. land reviewed release source on main when needed;
  3. run required exact-source CI, preflight, and package validation once;
  4. publish npm, tag, GitHub Release, Desktop, and production-docs surfaces;
  5. verify public installation, clean obsolete canary Releases/tags, and advance the next-version base;
  6. publish and read back the stable release announcement in Rudder Discord.

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.
