At a glance

Cut a Ralphy CLI release across GitHub Releases, Homebrew, and npm.

  • Works in 3 steps: GitHub Release with platform binaries… → alecs5am/homebrew-tap formula. → @alecs5am/ralphy on npm.
  • The user asks to release
  • SKILL.md covers Repositories, Release contract, Procedure and Stop conditions
  • Calls bun and gitleaks

What it does

Dev Release is an agent skill from alecs5am/ralphy. Cut a Ralphy CLI release across GitHub Releases, Homebrew, and npm. Use when the user asks to release, tag, publish, or prepare release notes for the CLI. Public documentation and the marketing site live in sibling repositories and are synchronized separately when their content is affected.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 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 Development, covering Landing pages and Changelog and release notes. It works with npm, GitHub and Homebrew. The repository describes itself as: Open-source desktop app for content creation, with an agent runtime and standalone CLI. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to release
  • Prepare release notes for the CLI

Example prompts

  • “/dev-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. GitHub Release with platform binaries and SHA256SUMS.
  2. alecs5am/homebrew-tap formula.
  3. @alecs5am/ralphy on npm.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d139f0. 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
    • gitleaks

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Dev Release loads about 757 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~757

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 the Ralphy CLI

This skill ships the agent-facing CLI in this repository. It never releases the marketing site, public docs site, desktop app, or unattended farm runtime.

Repositories

  • CLI: current repository, alecs5am/ralphy.
  • Public docs: sibling ../ralphy-docs, alecs5am/ralphy-docs.
  • Marketing and library: sibling ../ralphy-web, alecs5am/ralphy-web.
  • Desktop: sibling ../ralphy-desktop, alecs5am/ralphy-desktop.
  • Unattended automation: sibling ../ralphy-farm, alecs5am/ralphy-farm.

Only the CLI repository receives the vX.Y.Z release tag. If a CLI change affects public documentation, update and push ralphy-docs before tagging the CLI. Web, desktop, and farm changes follow their own release processes.

Release contract

One version must reach all three CLI channels:

  1. GitHub Release with platform binaries and SHA256SUMS.
  2. alecs5am/homebrew-tap formula.
  3. @alecs5am/ralphy on npm.

Never amend or replace an existing release. Never publish only one channel.

Procedure

  1. Confirm the current branch is main, the worktree is clean, and gh auth status plus npm whoami identify the expected maintainer.

  2. Read scripts/release/last-release-commit, the latest v* tag, and commits since that baseline. Propose the semver bump and grouped release notes.

  3. Inspect the diff for public-doc impact. If needed, update ../ralphy-docs, validate docs.json, commit, and push that repository separately.

  4. Run the CLI verification suite:

    bash
    bun run lint
bun test --timeout 45000 tests/unit tests/integration
bun run build:bin:current
gitleaks detect --source .

  5. After explicit user approval, update these version sources in lockstep:

    • package.json
    • cli/lib/version.ts
    • npm/package.json
    • the current-version line in AGENTS.md

  6. Commit chore(release): vX.Y.Z, tag that commit vX.Y.Z, and push the commit and tag. Do not create the GitHub Release manually; the release workflow owns binaries, checksums, and the release object.

  7. Watch the GitHub Actions release workflow to success.

  8. Run scripts/release/update-brew-tap.sh vX.Y.Z and scripts/release/publish-npm.sh X.Y.Z, then verify both registries resolve the new version.

  9. Update scripts/release/last-release-commit in a separate trailing commit so the next release has an exact baseline.

Stop conditions

Stop before tagging when tests fail, versions disagree, credentials are wrong, there are no releasable commits, or the user has not approved the proposed version. Documentation-only changes in ralphy-docs do not require a CLI tag.
