What it does

Cull Release is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. Use when orchestrating or resuming Cull's complete release cycle, reporting its current release state, or fulfilling an explicit Cull patch, minor, or major release request through verified GitHub and Homebrew distribution.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/phase-contracts.md` and `references/release-lessons-2026-09.md`).

It works with Homebrew and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Resuming Culls complete release cycle
  • Reporting its current release state
  • Fulfilling an explicit Cull patch
  • Major release request through verified GitHub and Homebrew distribution

Example prompts

  • “/cull-release”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve Cull from a matching current origin, absolute CULL_REPO, or
  2. For a new release, require explicit patch|minor|major; never infer it.
  3. Use cull-release-check. Stop on every blocker.
  4. Use cull-release-prepare in its isolated worktree.
  5. Use cull-release-publish after preparation. An explicit complete-release
  6. Use cull-release-verify after GitHub publication and Homebrew promotion.
  7. On interruption, derive the last verified state from commit, tag, workflow,
  8. Route every mismatch or failed phase through cull-release-recover.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7524dff. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Cull Release loads about 446 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 194 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~446
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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.

Cull Release

Principle

Orchestrate Cull's repository-enforced phases; never recreate release logic in the skill. Read references/phase-contracts.md before acting.

Start or resume

  1. Resolve Cull from a matching current origin, absolute CULL_REPO, or $HOME/ai_projects/cull.
  2. For a new release, require explicit patch|minor|major; never infer it.
  3. Use cull-release-check. Stop on every blocker.
  4. Use cull-release-prepare in its isolated worktree.
  5. Use cull-release-publish after preparation. An explicit complete-release request already authorizes publication: Do not ask for a second publication confirmation.
  6. Use cull-release-verify after GitHub publication and Homebrew promotion.
  7. On interruption, derive the last verified state from commit, tag, workflow, artifacts, release, and tap evidence. Resume the first incomplete phase; do not repeat completed work.
  8. Route every mismatch or failed phase through cull-release-recover.

Before the first tag of a cycle, read references/release-lessons-2026-09.md — it documents the failure modes that cost four burned attempts in the v0.6.x cycle (record-anchor vs workflow-gate mismatch, dependabot staleness races, closed-bead bd filter, provenance type drift) and the exact tag-time sequence that avoids them.

Completion report

Report version, release commit, annotated tag object, workflow run, artifact hashes, release URL, Homebrew tap commit, and final post-publish-verified state. Do not print secret values.
