Conventions for publishing npm packages from this repository, including when a PR needs a changeset and how to write one.

  • Editing a changeset
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Releasing a package
  • Deciding whether a change to a publishable library needs a changelog entry

What it does

Publishing Packages is an agent skill from hashintel/hash. Conventions for publishing npm packages from this repository, including when a PR needs a changeset and how to write one. Use when adding or editing a changeset, versioning or releasing a package, or deciding whether a change to a publishable library needs a changelog entry.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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. It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 The open-source, multi-tenant platform for self-building knowledge graphs and simulation. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing a changeset
  • Releasing a package
  • Deciding whether a change to a publishable library needs a changelog entry

Example prompts

  • “Use the publishing-packages skill to convention for publishing npm packages from this repository, including when a PR needs a changeset and how to…”
  • “/publishing-packages”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1fa0c7b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Publishing Packages loads about 443 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~443

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.

Publishing Packages

npm-publishable packages in this repository are versioned and released with changesets. The changeset configuration, including which packages are ignored, lives in .changeset/config.json.

Changesets

A PR that changes an npm-publishable package adds a changeset file under .changeset/. The changeset text becomes the package's published changelog entry, so write it for the package's consumers:

  • Describe the change as a consumer of the package experiences it: behaviour changes, bug fixes, and interface changes. Leave out implementation details that do not affect consumers, and do not mention this repository or its internal systems.
  • Every sentence must apply to each package the changeset lists. When a PR changes several packages in different ways, write a separate changeset for each package.
  • Use at most one paragraph per changeset.

A package's own AGENTS.md can carry further conventions, such as the bump level it accepts; check it before writing the changeset.
