What it does

Release Datafusion Ducklake is an agent skill from datafusion-contrib/datafusion-ducklake. Prepare and publish a new release of datafusion-ducklake to crates.io

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Rust, Git and SQL. The repository describes itself as: A Rust-native DuckLake engine built on Apache DataFusion. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/release-datafusion-ducklake”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(cargo check*), Bash(cargo build*), Bash(git checkout*), Bash(git pull*), Bash(git log*), Bash(git status*), Bash(git add*), Bash(git commit*), Bash(sleep*)

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine version
  2. Ensure clean, up-to-date main branch
  3. Create release branch
  4. Bump version
  5. Update CHANGELOG.md
  6. Update README.md if needed
  7. Commit and push
  8. Create PR
  9. Merge PR, tag, and trigger release
  10. Link to pending deployment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e566655. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(cargo check*)
    • Bash(cargo build*)
    • Bash(git checkout*)
    • Bash(git pull*)
    • Bash(git log*)
    • Bash(git status*)
    • Bash(git add*)
    • Bash(git commit*)
    • Bash(sleep*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • cargo

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • crates.io
    • docs.rs

    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 Datafusion Ducklake loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~903

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.

Release datafusion-ducklake

Prepare and publish a new release. The user may provide a version number as $ARGUMENTS.

Step 1: Determine version

  • If a version was provided ($ARGUMENTS), use it. Strip a leading v if present (e.g. v0.0.7 -> 0.0.7).
  • If no version was provided, read the current version from Cargo.toml and suggest the next patch bump. Ask the user to confirm or provide a different version.

Step 2: Ensure clean, up-to-date main branch

  • Confirm we're on main and the working tree is clean (git status).
  • Pull latest: git pull.
  • If the branch is dirty or not on main, warn the user and stop.

Step 3: Create release branch

  • Create and switch to a new branch: git checkout -b release/v{VERSION}

Step 4: Bump version

  • Update version in Cargo.toml (the [package] section, NOT workspace members).
  • Run cargo check to regenerate Cargo.lock with the new version.
  • Verify both Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock reflect the new version.

Step 5: Update CHANGELOG.md

  • Read CHANGELOG.md and the git log since the last tag (git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline).
  • Add a new ## [VERSION] - YYYY-MM-DD section at the top (below the header), categorized as Added/Changed/Fixed per Keep a Changelog format.
  • Add a comparison link at the bottom: [VERSION]: https://github.com/hotdata-dev/datafusion-ducklake/compare/v{PREV}...v{VERSION}
  • Ask the user to review the changelog entries before committing.

Step 6: Update README.md if needed

  • Check if README.md references a version number (e.g. in dependency examples). If so, update to the new version.

Step 7: Commit and push

  • Stage Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, CHANGELOG.md, and README.md (if changed).
  • IMPORTANT: Both Cargo.toml AND Cargo.lock must be committed. Missing the lock file will break the deploy.
  • Commit with message: chore(release): prepare v{VERSION}
  • Push the branch: git push -u origin release/v{VERSION}
Show full SKILL.md (157 more words)Show less

Step 8: Create PR

  • Create a PR with gh pr create targeting main.
  • Title: chore(release): prepare v{VERSION}
  • Body should note the version bump and link to the changelog.

Step 9: Merge PR, tag, and trigger release

After creating the PR, ask the user if they'd like to wait for CI or merge now.

When the user is ready, merge the PR:

gh pr merge --squash --delete-branch

Then checkout main, pull, tag, and push:

git checkout main && git pull

Verify the merged changes are present (the new version should be in Cargo.toml). If not, stop and warn the user.

git tag v{VERSION} && git push origin v{VERSION}

After pushing the tag, wait a few seconds, then fetch the workflow run triggered by the tag:

gh run list --workflow=release.yml --limit=1 --json databaseId,status,url

Extract the run URL and print it for the user:

Tag v{VERSION} pushed. Release workflow started.

Approve the deployment here: {RUN_URL}

After approval and deployment:

  • Confirm the new version on crates.io
  • Confirm docs update on docs.rs (may take up to a day due to build queue)
