What is release-new-version?

A release workflow for publishing a new version of an Obsidian plugin, an extension for the Obsidian note-taking app. It updates version files, builds the plugin, commits the changes, creates a Git tag, pushes them, and checks the release workflow.

Use it when preparing and publishing a new Obsidian plugin version, including version bumps, builds, commits, tags, pushes, and workflow checks.

It provides a repeatable checklist for version releases and catches build errors before publishing. It also keeps the plugin version and minimum supported Obsidian version mapping up to date.

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	$0.00022	$0.00578
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00231
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00116
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00058

Security

Grade A, and why

release-new-version 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 2mo 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.

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.
