cut-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from V-Songbird/slag. It costs 43 tokens per session (471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release skill for publishing one plugin: it discovers plugins, selects an approved version, updates release files, runs checks, and commits and pushes the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly releasing a plugin and updating its changelog and host-specific manifests.
Why use it?
It provides a defined release process instead of relying on ad hoc version and publishing steps.

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

cut-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 17d 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

cut-release

This is the Codex entrypoint for this repository's release procedure. Use it only when explicitly invoked as $cut-release; take the plugin and requested version from the user's message. The invocation policy lives in agents/openai.yaml.

Before taking release actions, read and follow the complete canonical release procedure, then read the repository's AGENTS.md and the host-format document it references. The procedure is shared with the other hosts; do not duplicate its steps here.

Codex execution notes

  • Resolve the canonical link relative to this skill directory. If it is missing, stop and report the missing procedure rather than inventing a release workflow.
  • The canonical file's Claude-only frontmatter describes its discovery on that host; its release steps apply here. Interpret Read and Edit as the available file-reading and patch tools, not required tool names. No $ARGUMENTS substitution is needed.
  • Run commands from the repository root. On Windows, use PowerShell Test-Path to enumerate the optional manifests and rg instead of the Bash ls/grep examples. Compare versions only in the host version files listed by the procedure; a skill's metadata.version is its own revision, not the plugin's.
  • Preserve existing authorization. The procedure's permission-prompt wording is not a guarantee that Codex prompts for each shell command. Before committing or pushing, verify the user's release request authorizes that action and its scope. Review the staged diff and the branch to be pushed so unrelated staged work or commits cannot be silently included. Ask only for missing material decisions or authorization; preparing or porting this skill does not authorize a release.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
