What it does
Release Roslynator is an agent skill from dotnet/roslynator, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when shipping a roslynator release, rolling CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased], updating the VS Code extension changelog, creating a GitHub v release, or optionally tagging cli-v.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/release-and-ci.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with GitHub, Visual Studio Code, C# and .NET. The repository describes itself as: Roslynator is a set of code analysis tools for C, powered by Roslyn.
When your agent uses it
- Shipping a roslynator release
- Rolling CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased]
- Updating the VS Code extension changelog
- Creating a GitHub v release
Example prompts
- “/release-roslynator”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Changelog PR
- Merge
- GitHub release
- Optional CLI tag
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 167f434. 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:
gitgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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 Roslynator loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 519 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 519 words (~1,047 tokens).
“Four hard-gated steps: changelog PR → merge → GitHub release (v*) → optional CLI tag (cli-v*). Versions come from the user. GitVersion derives package versions from tags — do not hardcode in props.”
