What it does

Sayit Release is an agent skill from callebtc/sayit. Build, sign, validate, notarize, and publish Say It macOS DMG releases using the repository release script. Use for Say It version bumps, release builds, installer packaging, notarization, and GitHub release assets.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/distribution.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering App store release and Text to speech and voice. It works with macOS and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Private, local text-to-speech for Apple silicon Macs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Say It version bumps
  • Installer packaging
  • GitHub release assets

Example prompts

  • “/sayit-release”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f7d047. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

Sayit Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 525 words of instructions outside code blocks.

~57

~1.1k

~1.8k

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.

Auto-check: warnings

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.

Say It Release

Use Scripts/release.sh as the single entrypoint. Once the release source is prepared, one command builds, tests, signs, packages, validates, notarizes, staples, and generates the signed update feed. No visual review or Finder interaction is required. Honor any checkpoint the user explicitly requests.

Prepare the release source

  • Read AGENTS.md; inspect the source diff, current versions, and latest tag. Use gh to check main and the latest release when asked for the latest features.
  • Use the requested version, or the next patch version if none is specified. Update MARKETING_VERSION and increment CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION in project.yml above the released build. Regenerate with xcodegen generate --spec project.yml --project . and check the diff.
  • Resolve unrelated changes without discarding or silently including them. Commit the prepared source when authorized; the full release command requires a clean worktree. The local prepare-only mode allows the task's uncommitted version bump and fixes.
  • Keep .env.release and signing material ignored. Never print configuration, private keys, or Keychain identities. Keep logs/artifacts under Build/; keep machine/user information out of Git history and GitHub. Preserve Git identity.

Run one command

When authorized to build and notarize:

sh
SAYIT_ALLOW_NOTARIZATION_UPLOAD=YES ./Scripts/release.sh VERSION

Replace VERSION with the prepared version. Signing and notarization settings come from the existing ignored .env.release. The script uses Scripts/prepare-release-dmg.sh for the shared build/test/package/audit pipeline; do not copy or reconstruct these steps in temporary version-specific scripts. Tests include the package suite with its MLX Metal library, DSP and muted playback integration tests, and the selected-text XPC smoke test. The final compressed DMG is audited before Apple submission and again after stapling. Failures stop the pipeline. Do not bypass tests or disable secure timestamps.

For an explicitly local-only task:

sh
./Scripts/release.sh --prepare VERSION

This produces the same signed, validated DMG without uploading. To check an existing DMG without changing it, use ./Scripts/release.sh --audit VERSION. To later notarize an already prepared artifact without rebuilding it:

sh
SAYIT_ALLOW_NOTARIZATION_UPLOAD=YES \
  ./Scripts/release.sh --notarize-existing VERSION RECORDED_SHA256

The script preserves existing DMGs, update assets, and submission records rather than silently overwriting them. Inspect a previous attempt before retrying. If Say It is running, arrange to quit it without interrupting active playback when the build or XPC smoke test requires it.

Keep DMG generation deterministic

Scripts/package-local-dmg.sh writes the layout directly using dmg-layout.sh, then compresses, signs, and validates the read-only artifact. The preparation helper also runs the layout regression suite. Do not replace this with Finder automation, screenshots, sleeps, or manual icon positioning.

The picture background requires icvp.backgroundType=2 and all three backgroundColorRed/Green/Blue fields set to 1.0. Without the color fields, Finder ignored both the picture and icon sizes. Preserve the fix and regression coverage in Scripts/dmg-layout.py and Scripts/test-dmg-layout.py. Checks also cover the background bytes and alias, window bounds, icon positions, Applications link, and absence of private/temporary paths. These automated checks are the release requirement; do not stop for visual approval.

Deliver or publish

Report version/build, the versioned DMG, checksum, test status, and actual notarization status. Full release output includes Build/Update-VERSION/SayIt.dmg and signed appcast.xml. Keep pre-notarization and post-stapling hashes distinct. Write a release description highlighting the biggest changes since the previous release and publish both update assets together. GitHub upload/publication is separate; follow distribution.md when authorized. Do not claim an upload occurred merely because a script exists or its workflow tests passed.
