What it does

Publishing is an agent skill from adeze/raindrop-mcp. Publishing and release workflow with semantic-release and GitHub Actions

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and MCP servers. It works with GitHub Actions, Model Context Protocol, npm and GitHub. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/publishing”

Requirements

  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Merge Conventional Commit-based changes to master.
  2. CI runs lint, type-check, tests, and build.
  3. CI release job runs semantic-release.
  4. semantic-release computes version, updates CHANGELOG.md, tags release, publishes npm, and creates a GitHub Release.
  5. Release prepare step syncs manifest.json and builds raindrop-mcp.mcpb so the bundle is attached to the GitHub Release.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b1e7f9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Publishing loads about 398 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~398

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

  • Release config: .releaserc.json
  • CI trigger: .github/workflows/ci.yml on push to master

Standard Release Flow

  1. Merge Conventional Commit-based changes to master.
  2. CI runs lint, type-check, tests, and build.
  3. CI release job runs semantic-release.
  4. semantic-release computes version, updates CHANGELOG.md, tags release, publishes npm, and creates a GitHub Release.
  5. Release prepare step syncs manifest.json and builds raindrop-mcp.mcpb so the bundle is attached to the GitHub Release.

Required Secrets

  • GITHUB_TOKEN: provided by GitHub Actions.

Publishing Authentication

  • npm publish uses GitHub Actions OIDC trusted publishing.
  • No long-lived npm token is required for the standard CI release path.

Local Verification Before Merge

bash
bun run lint
bun run type-check
bun run test
bun run build

Conventional Commit Examples

  • fix: handle missing collection id in bulk edit
  • feat: add includeArchived filter to bookmark_search
  • feat!: remove deprecated query parameter

Rules

  • Do not manually bump package versions for standard releases.
  • Do not manually create release tags for standard releases.
  • Do not run manual npm publish commands for standard releases.
  • Keep release behavior in .releaserc.json and CI workflow aligned.
