At a glance

Prepare @indielayer/ui changes for release with changesets and conventional commits.

  • Before merging user-facing library changes
  • SKILL.md covers Changeset, Commits and Before merge
  • Calls pnpm
  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

What it does

Release is an agent skill from indielayer/ui. Prepare @indielayer/ui changes for release with changesets and conventional commits. Use when versioning, publishing, changelog, semver, or before merging user-facing library changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 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 Commit messages and Changelog and release notes. It works with Tailwind CSS and Vue.js. The repository describes itself as: Vue UI Library with Tailwind CSS 🚀 Build and prototype fast web applications. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Before merging user-facing library changes
  • Tasks that involve Commit messages
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/release”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a34ae6d. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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 241 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 68 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~241

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.

Release workflow

Changeset

For user-facing packages/ui changes:

bash
pnpm changeset

Choose bump type (patch/minor/major) and write a short summary for the changelog.

Commits

Follow .github/COMMIT_CONVENTION.md:

  • feat(scope): ... — minor bump, appears in changelog
  • fix(scope): ... — patch bump
  • perf(scope): ... — patch bump
  • docs, chore, test, etc. — no version bump unless changeset added

Do not bump packages/ui/package.json version in the feature PR; Changesets handles release.

Before merge

bash
pnpm lint:ui
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test:ci
pnpm build

Ensure a changeset file exists under .changeset/ for library changes.
