release — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited release (Agent Skill) and scored it 78/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

Automate releasing all components of the screenpipe monorepo.
| Component | Version File | Current Pattern | Workflow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop App | apps/screenpipe-app-tauri/src-tauri/Cargo.toml | version = "X.Y.Z" | release-app.yml |
| CLI/Server | Cargo.toml (workspace.package) | version = "0.2.X" | release-cli.yml |
| MCP | packages/screenpipe-mcp/package.json and server.json (2 fields) | "version": "X.Y.Z" | release-mcp.yml |
MCP has no commit-prefix trigger — unlike the app,release-mcp.ymlfires only on anmcp-v*tag orworkflow_dispatch, and it refuses to run whenpackage.json's version is already on npm (npm cannot overwrite a published version, so the run would publish nothing). Followpackages/screenpipe-mcp/RELEASE.md— it has the exact commands and the post-publish checks.
Always release CLI when there are changes under crates/. Every shipped Rust crate lives there, and the screenpipe CLI binary is built from crates/screenpipe-engine ([[bin]] name = "screenpipe"), so it links whatever its dependency graph pulls in. That includes screenpipe-a11y and screenpipe-semantic, which are easy to overlook because they are not named "core" or "server".
App-only release is fine when changes are only in:
apps/screenpipe-app-tauri/ (UI/frontend changes)#[tauri::command] handlers: from apps/screenpipe-app-tauri/, run bun run bindings:generate and verify bun run bindings:check before taggingTo check what changed since last CLI release:
# Find last CLI release commit
git log --oneline --all | grep -E "CLI to v" | head -1
# Check if core code changed since then
git diff <COMMIT>..HEAD --stat -- crates/An empty diff here is only trustworthy if the pathspec exists.git diff -- <path>prints nothing and exits 0 for a path that is not in the tree, so a stale pathspec reads exactly like "nothing changed" and you ship an app-only release that drops real engine fixes. This skill previously listed top-levelscreenpipe-core/,screenpipe-vision/,screenpipe-server/and friends, all of which had moved undercrates/, so the check silently passed on every release. Confirm the path resolves before believing the result: ``bash ls -d crates/ || echo "PATHSPEC STALE, fix this skill before trusting the diff"``

Bumping only Cargo.toml leaves the other locks stale and breaks cargo test --locked on main (happened with the v0.4.29 CLI bump — sdk.yml went red until the locks were fixed). Commit the regenerated locks together with the bump. style.yml runs ./scripts/regenerate-locks.sh --check on every push and fails if any lock is stale.
Before dispatching a desktop release, compile the actual app binary through the guarded native build queue. A raw cargo check from a clean worktree is not a valid substitute: the Tauri build script requires sidecars such as bun-aarch64-apple-darwin, which scripts/pre_build.js prepares. Install the frontend dependencies first so the guarded build can run its prebuild and frontend/type checks before compiling the app:
cd apps/screenpipe-app-tauri
bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run build:tauri:devThe build may regenerate Tauri schemas. Restore build-only schema drift before staging, then require the release commit to contain only the intended version files.

Dispatch it once with the exact pushed commit and version inputs; its workflow builds, signs, notarizes, and uploads immutable versioned artifacts. It does not publish updater pointers or create the public GitHub release.
Before dispatching, verify the remote main SHA still matches BUMP_SHA. After dispatching, read the run back and require its headSha to match. Never dispatch a second app run for the same version unless the first run failed and the retry is intentional.
Enterprise is separate and manual. After the bump commit is on main, dispatch release-enterprise.yml once and verify that its run is pinned to the bump commit before treating Enterprise artifacts as prepared.
