What it does

Release Gen is an agent skill from cataclysmbn/Cataclysm-BN. Finish release follow-up after the changelog exists. Update data/XDG/org.cataclysmbn.CataclysmBN.metainfo.xml and send the matching Flathub PR with gh pr create --web.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires git, gh, internet access, write access to this repo, and access to flathub/org.cataclysmbn.CataclysmBN.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Cataclysm: Bright Nights: A fork/variant of Cataclysm:DDA by CleverRaven with a mod registry at https://mods.cataclysmbn.org/.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/release-gen”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires git, gh, internet access, write access to this repo, and access to `flathub/org.cataclysmbn.CataclysmBN`.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a6beaef. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires git, gh, internet access, write access to this repo, and access to `flathub/org.cataclysmbn.CataclysmBN`.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Release Gen loads about 327 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~327

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 123 words (~327 tokens).
