channels-release

channels-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from virgoC0der/awesome-claude-code. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,027 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-ticket workflow for deploying specified AfterShip services to staging or production. A release ticket is a formal record of what should be deployed and where, rather than the deployment itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create and publish normal release tickets for AfterShip Feed, AfterShip Affiliates, and Listing/Platform Products services, with separate staging and production handling.
Why use it?
It prevents accidental deployments to the wrong service or environment and keeps release scope tied to verified system records.

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

channels-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_ticket.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Channels Release

Create a normal release ticket from live CMDB, Release Train, and App Center data. Preserve the user's exact service, environment, and version scope. Creating a draft, publishing a ticket, and completing an actual deployment are separate outcomes.

Read references/profiles.md after the requested domain or service is known. Use its product and checklist mappings as exact-match hints, not as authority over live data.

Hard boundaries

  • This workflow is for release only. Route hotfix, rollback, and restart requests to the generic rt-create-ticket skill.
  • Never add production because a tag is a release tag or because a prior ticket included production. Only an explicit user request authorizes a production task.
  • A staging-only request must produce only staging deploy and staging rollback tasks. After creation and publication, require has_production_env=false on readback.
  • Do not infer a product from a service name. prod-af-mcp-server belongs to AfterShip Feed, not AfterShip Affiliates.
  • Never fuzzy-match a service, environment, artifact, product, or checklist. A missing or ambiguous exact match is blocking.
  • Do not claim a service is deployed merely because the Release Train ticket was published. Confirm an App Center publish record for the ticket/task and wait for status=success.

Preflight

Run:

which clime
clime release-train version
clime app-center version
clime release-train auth status --output json
clime app-center auth status -O json

Require release-train >= 1.0.3 and app-center >= 1.1.0. Older App Center versions can accept -r but fail artifact queries with ListArtifactsInput.CIName ... required; the working artifact selector is -c <ci-name>.

If a CLI is missing, outdated, or logged out, stop and tell the user. Do not install, replace, update, or log in without their approval. The current official manifest is https://files.am-usercontent.org/AfterShip-CLI/common/plugins.yaml; do not silently reuse obsolete .me/.../common/install.sh sources.

What ships with it

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.
