What it does

Swpm Release is an agent skill from deinsoftware/swpm. Automated release bash script for SWPM. Updates version in package.json, moves [Unreleased] entries to new version section in CHANGELOG.md, and follows SemVer and Keep a Changelog standards. Analyzes commits to suggest version bump or accepts manual version argument.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/release.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Shell scripting. It works with npm, Bash and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: Switch Package Manager - Say goodbye to Package Manager confusion. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Shell scripting

Example prompts

  • “/swpm-release”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reads current version from package.json
  2. Analyzes commits in branch vs main/master to suggest version bump (major/minor/patch)
  3. Updates version in package.json
  4. Reads [Unreleased] section from CHANGELOG.md
  5. Creates new version section with current date in proper format
  6. Moves entries from [Unreleased] to new version section
  7. Preserves comparison links at the bottom of CHANGELOG.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee443bd. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • bash

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • semver.org
    • keepachangelog.com

    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

Swpm Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SWPM Release Automation

Use this skill when preparing a new release. The skill provides an executable bash script that automates version bumping and CHANGELOG updates.

When to Use

  • Developer wants to prepare a new release
  • Need to update version in package.json
  • Need to move [Unreleased] entries to a new version section
  • Questions about release process automation
  • Do not use for manual versioning decisions (use swpm-semver instead)

What This Skill Does

The executable script scripts/release.sh automates:

  1. Reads current version from package.json
  2. Analyzes commits in branch vs main/master to suggest version bump (major/minor/patch)
  3. Updates version in package.json
  4. Reads [Unreleased] section from CHANGELOG.md
  5. Creates new version section with current date in proper format
  6. Moves entries from [Unreleased] to new version section
  7. Preserves comparison links at the bottom of CHANGELOG.md

Usage

How to Invoke

Make it executable and run:

bash
chmod +x .agents/skills/swpm-release/scripts/release.sh
./agents/skills/swpm-release/scripts/release.sh

Or run directly with bash:

bash
bash .agents/skills/swpm-release/scripts/release.sh
What the Script Does

The script will:

  • Analyze commits in current branch vs main/master
  • Suggest version bump based on commit types (feat → minor, fix → patch, breaking → major)
  • Show current version and calculated new version
  • Ask for confirmation
  • Update package.json
  • Move [Unreleased] entries to new version section in CHANGELOG.md
  • Update comparison links at bottom of CHANGELOG.md
  • Display the tag and CHANGELOG content for the new version (ready to copy/paste)
Example Session
Current version: 2.6.0

Analyzing 1 commits in branch...
  - feat(agents): add comprehensive agent skills for SWPM

Suggested version bump: minor
New version would be: 2.7.0

Proceed with this version? (y/N): y

Updating package.json to 2.7.0...
Moving [Unreleased] entries to [2.7.0] - 2026-05-01...
Updating comparison links...

=== COPY BELOW FOR COMMIT ===
Tag: v2.7.0

--- CHANGELOG CONTENT FOR v2.7.0 ---
- Added new feature X
- Fixed bug Y
--- END ---

Next steps:
  1. Review CHANGELOG.md
  2. Copy the tag and content above
  3. Commit: git add . && git commit -m "Release v2.7.0"
  4. Create tag manually: git tag v2.7.0
  5. Push tag: git push origin v2.7.0

Prerequisites

  • Bash shell
  • Git repository with main or master branch
  • package.json with current version
  • CHANGELOG.md with [Unreleased] section at the top

Script Location

.agents/skills/swpm-release/
├── SKILL.md
└── scripts/
    └── release.sh

Example Questions

Q: "How do I prepare a new release?" A: Run bash .agents/skills/swpm-release/scripts/release.sh and follow the prompts.

Q: "What does the release script do?" A: It analyzes commits to suggest a version bump, updates package.json, and moves [Unreleased] entries to a new version section in CHANGELOG.md.

Q: "Can I run the script multiple times?" A: Yes, but it will overwrite the [Unreleased] section each time. Make sure to commit changes between releases.

Observations

Before running the release script:

  • Ensure [Unreleased] section in CHANGELOG.md has entries
  • Verify the version bump type (check swpm-semver skill for guidance)
  • Review the changes after running the script
  • Commit with message like Release vX.Y.Z
  • Create git tag manually: git tag vX.Y.Z (you control the publish hook)
  • Push: git push origin vX.Y.Z
