What it does
Pre Release Test is an agent skill from herald-email/herald-mail-app. Use when preparing a Herald beta release, checking release readiness, or running broad deterministic integration gates across TUI themes, inline images, SSH, and MCP before tagging.
Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/run_pre_release_gate.sh`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Feature launches and release readiness. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Herald is a terminal email client and inbox cleanup tool with IMAP, AI-assisted triage, MCP tools, and SSH/browser-friendly app modes.
When your agent uses it
- Preparing a Herald beta release
- Checking release readiness
- Running broad deterministic integration gates across TUI themes
- MCP before tagging
Example prompts
- “/pre-release-test”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b097c04. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
make
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
Pre Release Test loads about 448 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 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); the scripts in this folder 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 184 words (~448 tokens).
“Use this skill before cutting a Herald beta or after risky UI/media/theme changes. It is a deterministic demo-data gate and does not touch live IMAP.”
