What it does

Release is an agent skill from EmertonData/glide. Automates the GLIDE release process end-to-end: bumps the version, edits CHANGELOG, opens a release PR, triggers TestPyPI, creates the git tag, and creates the GitHub release. Use whenever the user says "make a release", "release a new version", "ship a new version", "publish a release", "publish to PyPI", or invokes /release with an optional bump type (major/minor/patch).

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 and Deployment. It works with GitHub and Git. The repository describes itself as: Helping humans ride the GenAI evaluation wave.

When your agent uses it

Creates the git tag
Creates the GitHub release
The user says make a release
Release a new version

Example prompts

“make a release”
“release a new version”
“ship a new version”
“/release”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

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

Check for a clean working tree
Determine bump type
Pull latest main
Bump version files
Create the release branch
Update CHANGELOG.md
Commit, push, and open a PR
Confirm merge and proceed
Trigger and monitor the TestPyPI workflow
Verify TestPyPI installation
Pull latest main and create the tag
Monitor the PyPI publish workflow

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21a9553. 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:
- git
- gh
- uv
- make
- python
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:
- test.pypi.org
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 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 853 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2k

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 853 words (~1,999 tokens).

“This skill drives the full GLIDE release process with minimal human action. There are two human gates: merging the release PR (after CI passes) and confirming the TestPyPI installation. Everything else is automated.”

When should I use Release?

Release fits situations like: creates the git tag; creates the GitHub release; the user says make a release; release a new version.

How do I install Release in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill release -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in EmertonData/glide) into .claude/skills/release in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Release in Codex?

Run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill release -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in EmertonData/glide) into .agents/skills/release in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Release in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill release -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/release, .gemini/skills/release, .github/skills/release and .opencode/skills/release in your project.

What does Release need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Release needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git, gh, uv, make and python). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Release access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: test.pypi.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Release safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Release use?

Release has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Release use?

About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Release?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Release: ClawRouter Release Checklist (BlockRunAI/ClawRouter, 6.6k stars), AnyDrag Release Routine (XueshiQiao/AnyDrag, 227 stars), Release (bibendi/schked, 138 stars) and ClickUp CLI Release Process (krodak/clickup-cli, 121 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Release?

EmertonData (a GitHub organization) maintains it in EmertonData/glide, which has 119 GitHub stars. The repository holds 7 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
