Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy

What it does

Prerelease is an agent skill from iopsystems/rezolus. Tag and push a prerelease from the current Cargo.toml version. Use when the user wants to cut an alpha/beta/rc prerelease. Aborts on stable versions (no - in version string) and if the tag already exists.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Rust. The repository describes itself as: High-resolution, low-overhead systems and service telemetry.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to cut an alpha/beta/rc prerelease

Example prompts

  • “/prerelease”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify prerequisites
  2. Read version and validate it is a prerelease
  3. Check the tag does not already exist on upstream
  4. Create annotated tag and push to upstream
  5. Report the GitHub release URL

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12c9761. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Prerelease loads about 514 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 90 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~514

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 90 words (~514 tokens).

“Tag and push a prerelease to upstream (iopsystems/rezolus).”

When should I use Prerelease?

Prerelease fits situations like: the user wants to cut an alpha/beta/rc prerelease.

How do I install Prerelease in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add iopsystems/rezolus --skill prerelease -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/prerelease in iopsystems/rezolus) into .claude/skills/prerelease in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Prerelease in Codex?

Run `npx skills add iopsystems/rezolus --skill prerelease -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/prerelease in iopsystems/rezolus) into .agents/skills/prerelease in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Prerelease in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add iopsystems/rezolus --skill prerelease -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/prerelease, .gemini/skills/prerelease, .github/skills/prerelease and .opencode/skills/prerelease in your project.

What does Prerelease need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Prerelease needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash.

Does Prerelease access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Prerelease safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Prerelease use?

Prerelease has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Prerelease use?

About 514 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Prerelease?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Prerelease: Update V8 Version (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars), Firecrawl Page Scrape Integration (firecrawl/firecrawl, 189k stars), Migrate Core Code to Submodules (tinyhumansai/openhuman, 41k stars) and Rust TDD Workflow (rtk-ai/rtk, 83k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
