What it does
Roller Release is an agent skill from apache/roller. Prepare, build, sign, verify, stage, vote on and publish Apache Roller releases, including release website updates and announcement drafts.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/asf-policy.md`, `references/atr.md` and `references/dist-svn.md`).
It works with Java. The repository describes itself as: Mirror of Apache Roller. The licence is Apache-2.0.
Example prompts
- “/roller-release”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Agree scope and version, keeping undisclosed vulnerability details private.
- Inspect version-bearing POMs and packaging scripts. Run
- Commit the release inputs and record an RC tag at the exact source revision.
- Build and test from the root using the branch's documented Maven invocation
- Inspect the source and binary tar/zip archives. Sign and generate checksums
- Run scripts/check-release.sh from this skill. Its optional
- Stage and download the candidate using distribution guidance.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 15d4fce. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
mvn
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
apache.org
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
Roller Release loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 563 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

-->Apache Roller releases
Use the current checkout, project release decisions and ASF policy sources. Keep release execution notes, personal signing setup and undisclosed security scope outside this skill. Loading the skill does not authorize sending mail, pushing tags or publishing.
Establish release inputs
Record the source checkout, target branch and exact commit; release version; RC number and tag; release-manager ASF ID; signing-key fingerprint; distribution working copies; and website checkout. Supply these from the actual release, not defaults from an earlier session. Use a clean tree or isolated checkout.
Check build documentation and CI for the branch's supported JDK. Confirm Maven, GnuPG, SVN and archive tools are available. Python 3 is used by the version helper. Use signing-key guidance before building a candidate.
Prepare and verify
- Agree scope and version, keeping undisclosed vulnerability details private.
- Inspect version-bearing POMs and packaging scripts. Run
scripts/bump-version.sh <old> <new>from this skill for a preview; use--writeonly to apply the reviewed scope. It does not commit. Update release notes and other appropriate references manually, preserving historical entries. - Commit the release inputs and record an RC tag at the exact source revision. Build from that revision so the embedded revision matches the candidate. Preserve candidate history; changed artifacts normally require a new candidate and vote. Do not silently replace artifacts already being voted on.
- Build and test from the root using the branch's documented Maven invocation
(normally
mvn -V -ntp clean install). Buildassembly-releaseseparately withmvn -f assembly-release/pom.xml package; it is outside the root reactor. - Inspect the source and binary tar/zip archives. Sign and generate checksums using signing instructions.
- Run
scripts/check-release.sh <artifact-dir>from this skill. Its optional--buildcompiles the source archive with tests skipped; it does not replace the test suite, a full license review, or independent voter verification. - Stage and download the candidate using distribution guidance. Verify signatures, checksums, contents and source build from the downloaded files.

Vote and publish
Use vote and announcement templates. Normally allow at least 72 hours and require at least three positive binding votes and more positive than negative binding votes. Check current policy for exceptions. Record the result and the exact approved candidate.
Promote the approved artifact bytes; do not rebuild. If filenames lose the RC suffix, detached signatures still verify those unchanged bytes, but checksum filenames must be updated and verified. Point the final Git tag at the approved RC commit. Inspect remote destination paths before distribution changes.
Update and publish the website, verify public download links and propagation, then announce. Prune superseded distributions only after the website points to the new release and archive availability is confirmed. Keep historical signing keys available for verification of old releases.
For security releases, coordinate advisory timing with the PMC and ASF Security;
use the companion roller-security skill when available. Public vote material,
announcements and release notes must not expose undisclosed case details; keep
them neutral until the advisories are out. The operator upgrade must be available
when the advisory is published.
References and helpers
- ASF policy: authoritative sources and review boundaries.
- Signing: explicit signer selection and verification.
- Distribution: staging, promotion and pruning.
- Vote and announcement: reusable message drafts.
- Website: source edits, rebuild and link verification.
- Release tooling: evaluating Apache Trusted Releases.
Resolve helper paths relative to this skill; when using the repository copy,
they are under skills/roller-release/scripts/. Helpers do not commit or publish.
