About this skill
“Audit herdr release readiness by comparing commits since the base release against next-release changelog and docs. Use when asked to run or apply the repo's pre-release audit, validate docs/next before release, inspect issue refs that release CI will close, or finalize release docs for herdr.”
Herdr Pre-Release Audit is a skill in herdrdev/herdr (43k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 289 tokens, with 1 other file in the folder (references). Licence: Apache-2.0.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2563803. 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:
just
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
Herdr Pre-Release Audit loads about 289 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 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.

Herdr Pre-release Audit
Use this skill only inside the herdr repository.
Read references/pre-release-audit.md and follow its workflow. Treat it as the source of truth for:
- choosing the release base ref
- inspecting first-parent history and merged PRs
- auditing
docs/next/CHANGELOG.md - auditing
docs/next/README.mdand staged website docs - checking
skills/herdr/SKILL.mdagainst shipped CLI and agent-control behavior - checking issue reference lines
- deciding when to run
just pre-release-checkor its component checks - running and assessing
just bench-render-scale - producing the final release-readiness report
Do not edit files during the audit unless the user explicitly asks to apply fixes. When applying fixes, keep changes scoped to the files named in the reference workflow.
