When your agent uses it

  • Prepare a honk release and follow the maintainers tag and publication sequence

Example prompts

  • “/honk-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the intended main tip has been pushed.
  2. Confirm its branch CI from .github/workflows/ci.yml is green in GitHub Actions, through the web UI or API.
  3. The maintainer creates and pushes the next tag at that tip. Tag naming: .agents/rules/release.md, "Release process (standing convention)".
  4. The tag runs .github/workflows/release.yml. Wait for its test, build and release jobs to finish and create the GitHub Release.
  5. The maintainer edits the Release notes. Notes format and author attribution: .agents/rules/release.md, "Release process (standing…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a8a74a4. 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.

    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

Honk Release loads about 353 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~353

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.

honk-release
description
Use to prepare a honk release and follow the maintainer's tag and publication sequence.

Read first: AGENTS.md and .agents/rules/release.md; then .github/workflows/release.yml.

Publication belongs to the maintainer. Contributors can prepare the notes without publishing.

Steps

  1. Confirm the intended main tip has been pushed.
  2. Confirm its branch CI from .github/workflows/ci.yml is green in GitHub Actions, through the web UI or API.
  3. The maintainer creates and pushes the next tag at that tip. Tag naming: .agents/rules/release.md, "Release process (standing convention)".
  4. The tag runs .github/workflows/release.yml. Wait for its test, build and release jobs to finish and create the GitHub Release.
  5. The maintainer edits the Release notes. Notes format and author attribution: .agents/rules/release.md, "Release process (standing convention)". For author lookup and note editing, use the gh commands there or the GitHub commit pages and Release editor in the web UI; the GitHub commits and releases APIs are another option.

Checklist

  • The intended main tip is pushed and its branch CI is green.
  • The maintainer created and pushed the next tag under the release rule.
  • The tag workflow finished and created the Release.
  • The maintainer edited the notes using the release rule's format and author attribution.
