Cut a release for this project — bump the version in project.clj, commit, push, create a GitHub release, and deploy to Clojars.

  • Works in 4 steps: Read the current version from… → Update the version in project.clj.… → Run gh release create vX.Y.Z --title… → …
  • The user asks to release
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow and Guardrails
  • Calls gh and git

What it does

Release is an agent skill from jclaggett/seqex. Cut a release for this project — bump the version in project.clj, commit, push, create a GitHub release, and deploy to Clojars. Use this skill whenever the user asks to release, publish, cut a version, or ship to Clojars.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 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 GitHub.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to release
  • Ship to Clojars

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the current version from project.clj. Infer the bump type from context, or ask if unclear. Confirm the new version with the user…
  2. Update the version in project.clj. Commit (using the git-commit skill) and push.
  3. Run gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "...". Derive release notes from git log ..HEAD --oneline.
  4. Run lein deploy clojars.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6408da4. 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:

    • gh
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and 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

Release loads about 219 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~219

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 93 words (~219 tokens).
