setmac-release-ops

A release guide for Setmac, covering versioning, app packaging, code signing, notarization, and fixes for shipped macOS builds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing canary, beta, or stable releases; changing release workflows; creating DMG or command-line artifacts; or investigating Gatekeeper and launch failures.
Why use it?
It helps keep release versions, GitHub Actions workflows, packaged files, and macOS security checks consistent. It also addresses problems that appear in distributed apps but not when running from source.

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

setmac-release-ops 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 3d 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

Setmac Release Ops

Use this skill when

  • the user asks to cut canary, beta, or stable releases
  • a release workflow or semantic-release config needs changes
  • signing, notarization, or Gatekeeper behavior is involved
  • the shipped app crashes or behaves differently than swift run
  • AI instructions for release work need updating

Core rules

  • Use Conventional Commits.
  • Keep one logical change per commit.
  • Do not hand-edit release version numbers.
  • Default to canary or beta unless the user explicitly asks for stable.

Release model

  • canary -> vX.Y.Z-canary.N
  • beta -> vX.Y.Z-beta.N
  • stable -> manual Release Stable workflow from main

Required outputs

  • dist/Setmac.dmg
  • cli/dist/setmac-cli

Validation checklist

Run the smallest relevant set:

uv run semantic-release --noop version
just release-dry-canary
just release-dry-beta
NEW_VERSION="9.99.99-test" bash scripts/release-build.sh
just release-verify

Packaging and signing notes

  • Release builds must go through scripts/release-build.sh.
  • Packaged apps must include SwiftPM resource bundles from .build/release/*.bundle.
  • Shipped resources should load from Bundle.main.
  • Ad-hoc signing is acceptable as a fallback, but note that Gatekeeper may still block downloads until Apple notarization secrets are configured.

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.
