release-standards

release-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ValorVie/custom-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,291 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for preparing software releases with semantic versioning and changelogs. Semantic versioning uses major, minor, and patch numbers to describe the kind of change in a release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose version increments, format pre-release versions, and organize changelog entries.
Why use it?
It helps teams communicate whether a release breaks existing use, adds compatible features, or only fixes bugs.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Language**: English | [繁體中文](../../../locales/zh-TW/skills/claude-code/release-standards/SKILL.md).

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00061 $0.01291
Opus 5 $0.00030 $0.00646
Sonnet 5 $0.00012 $0.00258

Security

Grade A, and why

release-standards 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 7d 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.

Version: 1.1.1 Last Updated: 2026-01-30 Applicability: Claude Code Skills


Core Standard: This skill implements Versioning. For comprehensive methodology documentation, refer to the core standard.

Purpose

This skill provides semantic versioning and changelog formatting standards.

Quick Reference

Semantic Versioning Format

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE][+BUILD]

Examples:
2.3.1
1.0.0-alpha.1
3.2.0-beta.2+20250112

Version Incrementing Rules

Component When to Increment Example
MAJOR Breaking changes 1.9.5 → 2.0.0
MINOR New features (backward-compatible) 2.3.5 → 2.4.0
PATCH Bug fixes (backward-compatible) 3.1.2 → 3.1.3

Pre-release Identifiers

Identifier Stability Audience
alpha Unstable Internal team
beta Mostly stable Early adopters
rc Stable Beta testers

CHANGELOG Categories

Category Usage
Added New features
Changed Changes in existing functionality
Deprecated Soon to be removed
Removed Removed features
Fixed Bug fixes

What ships with it

3 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.
