mlx-serve pre-release validation checklist, CalVer versioning, release steps, and CHANGELOG style.

  • Works in 2 steps: Update CHANGELOG.md with NEXT version… → Dont commit or push
  • Cutting a release
  • SKILL.md covers Pre-release validation —…, Release benchmark artifacts and Versioning & Releases
  • Calls gh, swift and npx

What it does

Release is an agent skill from ddalcu/mlx-serve. mlx-serve pre-release validation checklist, CalVer versioning, release steps, and CHANGELOG style. Use when preparing or cutting a release, running pre-release validation, or writing CHANGELOG entries.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Anthropic API and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Native LLM inference server for Apple Silicon. OpenAI + Anthropic API compatible. No Python. Zig backend, Swift frontend macOS app with chat, music, voice, video generation.

When your agent uses it

  • Cutting a release
  • Running pre-release validation
  • Writing CHANGELOG entries

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Update CHANGELOG.md with NEXT version (check gh release list --limit 1 first — never reuse an existing tag)
  2. Dont commit or push

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ebcbdb. 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
    • swift
    • npx
    • bash

    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 npx, 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

Release loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 908 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

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 908 words (~1,791 tokens).

“Timings measured 2026-07-16 on the M4 Max 128 GB, AFTER the stop_all_engines port-wait fix (before it, everything below was ~2.2× slower — see the gotcha in Benchmarking).”
