What it does

Takopi Release is an agent skill from banteg/takopi. Prepare and ship a Takopi release. Use when asked to cut a release, bump release versions, update changelog/spec/readme, tag v<major.minor.patch, or trigger the GitHub release workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 Changelog and release notes. It works with GitHub and Telegram. The repository describes itself as: he just wants to help-pi! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to cut a release
  • Bump release versions
  • Update changelog/spec/readme
  • Tag v<major.minor.patch

Example prompts

  • “/takopi-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Choose version + date
  2. Update changelog
  3. Bump versions
  4. Update spec + docs
  5. Run checks
  6. Commit + tag
  7. Optional post-release bump

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0123d4. 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:

    • uv
    • just
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and git, 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

Takopi Release loads about 734 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~734

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
Prepare and ship a Takopi release. Use when asked to cut a release, bump release versions, update changelog/spec/readme, tag v<major.minor.patch>, or trigger the GitHub release workflow.

Takopi Release

Overview

Prepare a tagged release that matches the GitHub Actions release workflow. The workflow requires the tag version to match pyproject.toml. If src/takopi/__init__.py contains a literal __version__ = "...", that literal must also match; current Takopi reads __version__ from package metadata instead.

Workflow

1) Choose version + date

Pick the release version (major.minor.patch) and the release date (YYYY-MM-DD) for changelog/spec headers. If the current version has a .dev suffix, assume the target release version is the same version without the suffix, as long as that tag does not already exist.

2) Update changelog

Update changelog.md by adding a new top section. Before writing it, study the diff between the previous tag and the new release to rank changes; put user-facing changes first.

  • ## v<major.minor.patch> (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • Include subsections like changes, fixes, breaking, docs as needed.
  • Keep entries short and include PR links when available (match existing style).
3) Bump versions

Update version strings to match the release tag:

  • pyproject.toml: project.version = "<major.minor.patch>"
  • src/takopi/__init__.py: only update this if it contains a literal __version__ = "<major.minor.patch>"; no change is needed when it uses importlib.metadata.version("takopi")
  • uv.lock: refresh so the root package version matches (run uv lock or uv sync).
4) Update spec + docs

Update docs/specification.md to match the release:

  • Header: # Takopi Specification v<major.minor.patch> [YYYY-MM-DD]
  • Replace Takopi v<old> and Out of scope for v<old> lines with the new version.
  • Add a changelog entry like - No normative changes; align spec version with the v<major.minor.patch> release. unless the spec itself changed.

If the release highlights new features, update readme.md accordingly (see v0.9.0 release).

5) Run checks

Run the standard checks before committing:

  • just check (ruff/ty/pytest)
6) Commit + tag

Commit the release using conventional commits:

  • Commit message: chore(release): v<major.minor.patch>
  • Tag: git tag v<major.minor.patch>

Push the tag to trigger .github/workflows/release.yml (build, PyPI publish, GitHub release).

7) Optional post-release bump

If you keep a dev version between releases, bump the minor version (reset patch to 0) and commit (chore: bump version to ...).

Notes

  • The release workflow checks that the tag matches pyproject.toml, and also checks src/takopi/__init__.py only when it contains a literal __version__ string.
  • Keep dates consistent across changelog.md and docs/specification.md.
