What it does

Release Train is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. The Inkline release process — changesets flow, the CI gate, the not-yet-enabled publish step, post-release verification, and rollback. Use for versioning, releasing, and release-adjacent CI work.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: Inkline is the intuitive UI Components library that gives you a developer-friendly foundation for building high-quality, accessible, and customizable Vue.js 3 Design Systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Release-adjacent CI work
  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/release-train”

Requirements

  • A credential in NPM_TOKEN

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. npm view @inkline/react version (+ each bumped package + inkline) — registry has the new versions.
  2. Smoke: fresh temp Vite app → pnpm add @inkline/ → import a styled component + @inkline//css → renders. (Once inkline init matures: pnpx…
  3. Changelogs rendered correctly; tags pushed.
  4. Comment the release summary on the release issue; hand @herald the notes draft; ping @herald to bump starters when they exist.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4da55a. 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
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and npm, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NPM_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Release Train loads about 975 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 351 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~975

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 351 words (~975 tokens).

“Releases run on [changesets]. Reality first: every package is at 0.0.0 and nothing has been published to npm yet — the publish step in changesets.yml is deliberately commented out. Until the first release, the train's job is keeping the version…”
