What it does
Prepare Release Workflow is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules. Prepare and cut weekly releases for both terraform-provider-google (TPG) and terraform-provider-google-beta (TPGB).
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code. It works with Terraform. The repository describes itself as: Add Google Cloud Platform support to Terraform.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Infrastructure as code
Example prompts
- “/prepare-release-workflow”
Requirements
- A credential in TEAMCITY_TOKEN
- A credential in JET_GITHUB_TOKEN
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Locate Repositories & Set Workspace Context
- Determine Release Candidate, Remote, & Semver
- Cut Release Branch & Generate Changelog
- The Release Notes Audit & PR
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5db069. 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:
gitbashgo
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:
github.com
Also links to:
hashicorp.teamcity.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
TEAMCITY_TOKENJET_GITHUB_TOKENGITHUB_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Prepare Release Workflow loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,179 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 1,179 words (~2,591 tokens).
“This workflow prepares and cuts the weekly releases for both the terraform-provider-google (TPG) and terraform-provider-google-beta (TPGB) repositories.”
