What it does

Bump And Release is an agent skill from Azure/autorest.python, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Bump dependency "@typespec/http-client-python" and release new versions for Azure/autorest.python repo. Use when user wants to bump, update, or upgrade the @typespec/http-client-python dependency, create a release PR, or publish new versions of autorest.python and typespec-python packages.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Microsoft Azure, Python and npm. The repository describes itself as: Extension for AutoRest (https://github.com/Azure/autorest) that generates Python code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to bump
  • Upgrade the @typespec/http-client-python dependency
  • Create a release PR
  • Publish new versions of autorest.python and typespec-python packages

Example prompts

  • “@typespec/http-client-python”
  • “/bump-and-release”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Prepare Branch
  2. Get Latest Version and Update Dependencies
  3. Update Dependencies
  4. Update peerDependencies
  5. Verify devDependencies Versions for Specs
  6. Run Version Tool
  7. Check for Minor Version Bump
  8. Build and Stage
  9. Commit and Push
  10. Create PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28a5851. 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:

    • git
    • pnpm
    • npx
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, pnpm, npx and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Bump And Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Bump dependency "@typespec/http-client-python" and release new versions for Azure/autorest.python repo. Use when user wants to bump, update, or upgrade the @typespec/http-client-python dependency, create a release PR, or publish new versions of autorest.python and typespec-python packages.

Bump and Release

Bump the "@typespec/http-client-python" dependency and create a release PR for the Azure/autorest.python repository.

Context Variables

  • BASE_BRANCH: The branch to base changes on (default: "main")
  • CURRENT_DATE: Current date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., "2025-01-01")

Prerequisites

Before starting, verify that npm-check-updates is available:

bash
npx npm-check-updates --version

If the command fails or prompts for installation, install it globally:

bash
npm install -g npm-check-updates

Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Branch

Navigate to the root folder of "Azure/autorest.python" repo.

If BASE_BRANCH is "main":

bash
git reset HEAD && git checkout . && git checkout origin/main && git pull origin main && git checkout -b publish/release-{{CURRENT_DATE}}

If BASE_BRANCH is not "main":

bash
git reset HEAD && git checkout . && git fetch origin {{BASE_BRANCH}} && git checkout {{BASE_BRANCH}}
Step 2: Get Latest Version and Update Dependencies
  1. Get the latest VERSION of "@typespec/http-client-python" from npm:

    bash
    npm view @typespec/http-client-python version
  2. Update the version of "@typespec/http-client-python" to ~{{VERSION}} in both files:

    • packages/autorest.python/package.json
    • packages/typespec-python/package.json
Steps 3–5: Update Dependencies (only if BASE_BRANCH is "main")

Skip Steps 3, 4, and 5 if BASE_BRANCH is not "main".

Step 3: Update Dependencies

Run npm-check-updates for packages/typespec-python/package.json:

bash
npx npm-check-updates -u --filter @typespec/*,@azure-tools/* --packageFile packages/typespec-python/package.json
Step 4: Update peerDependencies

Update peerDependencies in packages/typespec-python/package.json:

  • If format is ">=0.a.b <1.0.0": Update only the 0.a.b portion, keep the range format unchanged
  • If format is "^1.a.b": Update to the latest version
Step 5: Verify devDependencies Versions for Specs

Verify devDependencies versions for specs in packages/typespec-python/package.json:

  • Check @typespec/http-specs and @azure-tools/azure-http-specs
  • If the original version in package.json is newer than the updated value, keep the original version
  • Dev versions are typically in the form x.y.z-alpha.N-dev.M (e.g., 0.1.0-alpha.37-dev.3).

Example:

  • Original: @typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5, updated by step 3 to 0.1.0-alpha.11 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5.
  • Original: @typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5, updated by step 3 to 0.1.0-alpha.12 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12 (step 3 works as expected).
  • Original: @azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2, updated to 0.1.0-alpha.11 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2.
  • Original: @azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2, updated to 0.1.0-alpha.12 → keep 0.1.0-alpha.12 (step 3 works as expected).

Step 6: Run Version Tool

Run the change version command:

bash
pnpm change version

Verify at least 4 files are changed:

  • packages/autorest.python/package.json
  • packages/autorest.python/CHANGELOG.md
  • packages/typespec-python/package.json
  • packages/typespec-python/CHANGELOG.md
Step 7: Check for Minor Version Bump

The version tool calculates the next version but may choose patch instead of minor incorrectly.

  1. Run git diff to inspect updated CHANGELOG.md files
  2. If any CHANGELOG.md contains "### Features", upgrade to minor version instead of patch version
  3. Update version numbers in all 4 files:
    • packages/autorest.python/package.json
    • packages/autorest.python/CHANGELOG.md
    • packages/typespec-python/package.json
    • packages/typespec-python/CHANGELOG.md
Step 8: Build and Stage
bash
pnpm install && pnpm build && git add -u
Step 9: Commit and Push
bash
git commit -m "bump version"
git push origin HEAD
Step 10: Create PR

If no existing PR exists for the current branch, create a new pull request targeting the BASE_BRANCH.
