Managing Releases

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Asked to: release
• Why was there no PyPI package
• Version bump PR
• Check release status

Example prompts

• “Use the managing-releases skill to manage releases for this repository: how version bumps, PyPI publishing, and GitHub releases work”
• “/managing-releases”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Make your template changes on a branch (follow managing-templates).
2. 2Bump the root version in pyproject.toml (e.g. 0.11.48 → 0.11.49). Semantic x.y.z with optional -prerelease / +build metadata — no v…
3. 3Open the PR. version-check.yml runs: syncs manifests, auto-bumps affected sub-packages, pins them exactly in root pyproject.toml, posts…
4. 4Add the release label to the PR
5. 5Merge to main. publish.yml runs: quota gate → builds & publishes sub-packages in dependency order → verifies all meta deps are on PyPI →…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8be1f8c. 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
  • python
  • pip

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

• Network

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

Managing Releases loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 934 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~170

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.4k

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

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

Manages releases for this repository: how version bumps, PyPI publishing, and GitHub releases work. Covers the release label, publish.yml / version-check.yml pipelines, auto-bump rules, frozen legacy media bundles, PyPI quota gates, and recovery/force-publish. Use when asked to: release, publish, cut a release, bump version, release label, PyPI publish, why was there no PyPI package, force publish, GitHub release, version bump PR, ship a version, check release status, frozen bundle, media wheel, PyPI quota. NOT for template content changes (see managing-templates). Triggers on: release, publish, version bump, PyPI, GitHub release, frozen bundle, quota.
