What it does

Full Release is an agent skill from gittower/git-flow-next. Run the full release process end-to-end - prep, tag, CI verification, Homebrew tap, WinGet verification, website sync, and a Discussions announcement

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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 Deployment. It works with Homebrew and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A modern reimplementation of git-flow in Go that offers greater flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility with the original git-flow and git-flow-avh.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/full-release”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Edit, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preflight
  2. Prepare the Release
  3. Verify Changelog/Tag Coupling
  4. Confirm with User
  5. Push and Tag
  6. Watch CI and Verify the Release
  7. Stamp the Milestone
  8. Update Homebrew Tap
  9. Verify the WinGet Submission
  10. Sync Website
  11. Post a Release Announcement
  12. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00d1b4b. 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
    • Read
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git
    • ruby
    • brew
    • winget
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, git and npm, 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

Full Release loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,309 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Edit, Grep, Glob

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 1,309 words (~2,683 tokens).

“Orchestrate a complete release: version prep, push + tag, GitHub Actions verification, Homebrew tap update, WinGet verification, website documentation sync, and a Discussions announcement. Follows the process defined in RELEASING.md — read it first; this skill sequences it, it does…”
