What it does

Release is an agent skill from blockscout/frontend. Run one phase of a release — prepare, alpha or publish — through the release CLI, stopping at the operator's checkpoints

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `slack-message-template.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Front-end application for Blockscout chain explorer.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Show the conflict: the PR, the files, the conflicting hunks.
  2. Resolve it, with a one-line reason per file (a modify/delete conflict is usually a refactoring on main
  3. Show the resolved diff (git diff of the staged resolution) and wait for the operator's approval.
  4. After approval only: git cherry-pick --continue, then re-run the same command, which resumes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6b91209. 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:

    • pnpm
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm 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

Release loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 610 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 610 words (~1,017 tokens).

“/release prepare vX.Y.Z · /release alpha vX.Y.Z-alpha.N · /release publish vX.Y.Z”
