lade: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/lade-release/SKILL.md

lade-release is a skill for Cursor from zifeo/lade. It costs 50 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

Release-preparation instructions for the Lade Rust project. They cover updating CHANGELOG.md and changing workspace crate versions with Cargo, Rust’s package manager.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them before releasing Lade, tagging a version, publishing a GitHub release, or finalizing a changelog and version bump.
Why use it?
They provide a repeatable checklist for preparing a release while leaving commits, tags, and pushes to the user.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is zifeo/lade's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on lade itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything lade configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/set-version.sh X.Y.Z.

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

lade-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.

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

Lade release

Scope

Release prep touches:

  • CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format)
  • Crate versions via cargo set-version --workspace (lade, lade-sdk, age-plugin-lade, including path deps)
  • Crate versions only. There is no APM package.

Never commit, tag, or push — the user handles git.

Changelog workflow

  1. Find the base tag

    git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -5
    git log <last-tag>..HEAD --format="%h %s"
    
  2. Read [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md. Every user-facing item there should land in the new version section.

  3. Cross-check commits since the last tag. Add anything missing from [Unreleased] (group under Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed). Skip routine chore(deps) unless security-relevant.

  4. Promote [Unreleased] → [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD

    • Use today's date for stable releases.
    • Leave an empty ## [Unreleased] section at the top.
    • Add a compare link immediately after the new section:
      [X.Y.Z]: https://github.com/zifeo/lade/compare/v<prev>...vX.Y.Z
      
    • Previous tag is usually the last stable tag on main (ignore unreleased beta tags unless the user says otherwise).
  5. Writing style (match existing entries):

    • Lead with bold feature name, then PR link ([#NNN](https://github.com/zifeo/lade/pull/NNN)).
    • One line per item; explain why when behavior changes.
    • Categories: Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed (omit empty categories).

Version bump

Use scripts/set-version.sh, not a bare cargo set-version and not a hand edit of Cargo.toml:

bash scripts/set-version.sh X.Y.Z
cargo test --workspace --locked

The script runs cargo set-version --workspace (lade, lade-sdk, age-plugin-lade, path deps). Run tests (same as CI) to refresh Cargo.lock and verify the bump.

If cargo set-version is missing: cargo install cargo-edit. CI beta bumps use bash scripts/set-version.sh --bump beta.

GitHub release notes

The tag workflow publishes the matching CHANGELOG.md section with parse-changelog. Write that section before tagging. If the GitHub release already exists, its title and notes stay as first published. A crashed job is recovered by re-running that job. An asset already on the release is left in place.

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.
