What it does
Release is an agent skill from HedvigInsurance/android. Cut a production release of the Android app (git flow release, version bump, push to trigger the Play Store upload). Use when asked to cut, start or ship a release, bump the app version for production, or retry a release after a failed Play Store build.
Its SKILL.md is about 550 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 Mobile, covering App store release and Android development. It works with Git and Android. The repository describes itself as: Android app for Hedvig. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- The Play Store upload)
- Bump the app version for production
- Retry a release after a failed Play Store build
Example prompts
- “/release”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Preview. From the repo root, on a clean develop, run
- Agree on the version. Show the user the version change and the list of merges.
- Get a clear yes in chat for that exact version. Then run
- Follow CI. The push to release/X.Y.Z starts upload-to-play-store.yml. Run
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 457a5ba. 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:
gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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
Release loads about 546 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 296 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.

- description
- Cut a production release of the Android app (git flow release, version bump, push to trigger the Play Store upload). Use when asked to cut, start or ship a release, bump the app version for production, or retry a release after a failed Play Store build.
Cutting a release
scripts/release.sh does the whole release. This skill is about running it with the
user in the loop, because it pushes to master, develop and a release/ branch.
- Preview. From the repo root, on a clean
develop, runscripts/release.sh <bump> --dry-run, where<bump>is what the user asked for. If they did not say, preview withminorand let them choose. The output lists every merge since the last release. - Agree on the version. Show the user the version change and the list of merges. Patch, minor or major is their call. Suggest one if asked, but a wrong pick is harmless, so do not dwell on it. Also point out anything in the list that looks unfinished or unexpected.
- Get a clear yes in chat for that exact version. Then run
scripts/release.sh <X.Y.Z> --yes, passing the exact version agreed on, not the bump keyword. - Follow CI. The push to
release/X.Y.Zstartsupload-to-play-store.yml. Rungh run watch "$(gh run list --workflow=upload-to-play-store.yml --branch release/X.Y.Z --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')" --exit-statusin the background and report the result. After a green run, the Play Console part is the user's.
If something fails
- The script refuses before step 3 changes anything (tree not clean, not on
develop, diverged branch, tag already exists): fix the cause and rerun. - The Play Store build fails: the release is still finished and tagged, as it is
when done by hand. Fix it on
developthrough a normal PR, then cut the next version withpatch. - The script stops partway through: do not rerun it. Check which of
release/X.Y.Z, the tag and thedevelop/mastermerges exist locally and onorigin, then show the user and finish the remaining steps by hand. The header ofscripts/release.shlists them.
