At a glance

Create a release branch for a given version. An agent skill from haru/redmine_ai_helper.

  • Works in 5 steps: Confirm the Current Version → Check for an Existing Release Branch → Create the Release Branch → …
  • You want to start a release
  • SKILL.md covers User Input, Procedure, Notes and Error Handling
  • Calls git

What it does

Create Release Branch is an agent skill from haru/redmine_ai_helper. Create a release branch for a given version. Use when you want to start a release, cut a release branch, or bump the version for a new release. Creates release/<version from develop, updates version.rb, and commits the version bump.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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. The repository describes itself as: A Redmine plugin that adds AI agents, MCP Server, smart completion, and vector search. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You want to start a release
  • Cut a release branch
  • Bump the version for a new release

Example prompts

  • “/create-release-branch”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the Current Version
  2. Check for an Existing Release Branch
  3. Create the Release Branch
  4. Bump the Version
  5. Commit the Version Bump

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3cd87d6. 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

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Create Release Branch loads about 599 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 267 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~599

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.

Create Release Branch

Create a release/<version> branch from develop, bump the version in version.rb, and commit the change.

User Input

text
$ARGUMENTS

The user input should contain the target release version (e.g. 3.3.0). If no version is provided, ask the user which version to release before proceeding.

Procedure

Step 1: Confirm the Current Version

Read version.rb and note the current VERSION value. Confirm the requested version is different and follows semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH).

Step 2: Check for an Existing Release Branch

Run git branch -a | grep release to check whether a release/<version> branch already exists.

  • If it already exists, stop and report it to the user instead of recreating it.
Step 3: Create the Release Branch

Create the branch from develop:

git checkout -b release/<version> develop
Step 4: Bump the Version

Edit version.rb and update the VERSION constant to the new <version>.

ruby
module RedmineAiHelper
  VERSION = "<version>"
end
Step 5: Commit the Version Bump

Stage only version.rb (do not include unrelated changes such as .claude/settings.json) and commit:

git add version.rb
git commit -m "Bump version to <version>"

Do not push. Report the branch name and commit to the user.

Notes

  • Follow the project rule: never push without explicit user instruction.
  • Commit messages must be plain English with no reference to Claude Code.
  • Stage only the version bump; leave any other working-tree changes untouched.
  • After this skill, the create-pull-request skill can open the release PR against main.

Error Handling

  • If version.rb is missing or the VERSION constant cannot be found, stop and report it.
  • If the working tree has the release branch already checked out or the branch exists, do not overwrite — report the current state.
  • If the requested version is not valid semver, ask the user to confirm before proceeding.
