What is release-audit?

A read-only checker for GitHub releases, which are published versions of a project, along with their git tags and downloadable files. It examines one repository or all repositories in a directory for mismatches and unfinished releases.

Use it before or after releasing software to compare tags, GitHub releases, assets, version pointers, and optional sr.yaml configuration without changing anything.

It exposes release problems such as tags without releases, missing binaries or checksums, drafts left unpublished, outdated major-version tags, and old pre-release leftovers. It also checks sr.yaml settings when that file exists.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00126	$0.00721
Opus 5.5	$0.00050	$0.00288
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00025	$0.00144
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00072

Security

Grade A, and why

release-audit 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Release Audit

Audit releases, tags, and assets for consistency.

Steps

Determine scope: If a directory of repos is given, discover all git repos one level deep. Otherwise use the current repo.
For each repo, gather:
- All tags: git tag -l
- All releases: gh release list --limit 50 --json tagName,name,isDraft,isPrerelease,assets
- Detect sr.yaml: check whether sr.yaml exists at the repo root. Only if present, read it to understand expected release behavior. If absent, skip all sr-specific checks for this repo (do not report a "missing sr.yaml" issue -- not every repo uses sr).
- Floating tags: tags like v1, v2 that point to the same commit as a full semver tag
Check for issues:
- Orphaned tags: tags with no corresponding GitHub release
- Releases without assets: releases that should have binaries/checksums but don't
- Draft releases: releases stuck in draft state
- Floating tag drift: major version tags (e.g., v1) not pointing to the latest patch
- sr.yaml issues (only when sr.yaml was detected in step 2): misconfigured plugins, version file mismatches between sr.yaml and the actual version files
- Pre-release remnants: old pre-release versions that were never promoted

Report: For each repo, show:

## repo-name
- Latest release: v1.2.3 (2024-01-15)
- Total releases: 12 | Tags: 15
- Issues:
  - ⚠ 3 orphaned tags: v0.1.0, v0.2.0, v0.3.0
  - ⚠ Floating tag v1 behind latest (points to v1.1.0, latest is v1.2.3)
  - ✓ All releases have assets

Summary: One-line-per-repo table at the end with issue counts.

Rules

Don't delete or modify tags/releases. This is read-only audit.
If gh isn't authenticated, fall back to git-only checks (tags, sr.yaml).
For multi-repo scans, run checks in parallel where possible.

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.
