release-sync

release-sync is a skill for Claude Code from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow that copies information from a newly tagged software release into NotebookLM and an internal knowledge base. It reads the changelog and project documentation, then updates those knowledge sources and can optionally create a podcast.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after tagging a release to update NotebookLM sources, ingest a release digest into the internal knowledge base, and optionally generate a podcast.
Why use it?
It removes the need to copy release notes and supporting documentation into each knowledge system by hand. It keeps release information available after a version tag is created.

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

release-sync 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 24d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Content Sync

Sync the latest OrchestKit release to external knowledge systems.

CC ≥ 2.1.118 (M122): Sync triggers on the new claude plugin tag annotated tag (in addition to plain git tag). The tag's annotation embeds the plugin manifest version, which release-sync uses as the canonical source-of-truth for the version being synced. See src/skills/chain-patterns/references/plugin-tag.md.

What This Does

  1. Reads the latest CHANGELOG entry, CLAUDE.md, and hook README
  2. Updates the OrchestKit NotebookLM KB notebook with fresh sources
  3. Ingests the release digest into HQ Knowledge Base (if available)
  4. Optionally generates a new podcast from the updated notebook

Prerequisites

  • MCP servers: notebooklm-mcp and/or hq-content
  • NotebookLM notebook ID stored in .claude/release-sync-config.json

Step 1: Detect Version and Read Sources

# Read current version from CLAUDE.md
version = Grep(pattern="Current.*\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+", path="CLAUDE.md")

# Read CHANGELOG — extract latest release section
changelog = Read("CHANGELOG.md", limit=80)

# Read hook architecture summary
hook_readme = Read("src/hooks/README.md", limit=100)

# Read CLAUDE.md for project overview
claude_md = Read("CLAUDE.md")

Step 2: Load Config

config = Read(".claude/release-sync-config.json")
# Expected format:
# {
#   "notebooklm_notebook_id": "0a05e680-e33b-4d8c-94b2-5df26a1af329",
#   "hq_kb_project": "orchestkit"
# }

If config doesn't exist, prompt user:

AskUserQuestion(questions=[{
  "question": "NotebookLM notebook ID for OrchestKit KB?",
  "header": "Configuration",
  "options": [
    {"label": "Use default", "description": "OrchestKit v7 — Complete KB (0a05e680...)"},
    {"label": "I'll provide", "description": "Enter a custom notebook ID"}
  ]
}])

Step 2b: Choose Sync Targets

Ask for the four target values: notebooklm, hq_kb, slack, notes.

# Skip the form when targets are explicit:
#   release-sync --targets=notebooklm,slack  → skip, use those
#
# Otherwise ask. This used to prefer an ork-elicit MCP form and fall back to
# AskUserQuestion; the server was retired (EPIC C mechanism 11) because
# AskUserQuestion is the CC-native surface for this and a permanent MCP tool
# slot to restate it was the parallel mechanism. One path now.
#
# ALL targets default to False — OrchestKit is open-source and these targets
# (notebook IDs, HQ KB, Slack) are user-private infrastructure the plugin
# cannot assume is configured. The user explicitly opts in.
targets = {
  "notebooklm": ask_yn("Push to NotebookLM?", default=False),
  "hq_kb":      ask_yn("Push to HQ KB?",       default=False),
  "slack":      ask_yn("Announce in Slack?",   default=False),
  "notes":      ""
}

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.
