Promote

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user says promote
• Commit and push
• Tag and release
• Get back to main

Example prompts

• “/promote”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Pre-flight checks
2. 2Commit any uncommitted changes
3. 3Push
4. 4Merge to main (feature branch only)
5. 5Confirm next version
6. 6Sync plugin manifest (if present)
7. 7Tag and release
8. 8Close resolved issues (main branch only)
9. 9Clean up merged feature branch
10. 10Confirm clean state

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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
  • gh
  • node

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

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • github.com

  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

Promote loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 490 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~113

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.7k

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:36

  Check for untracked `.env` files that could be accidentally staged:

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:39

  ?\? .*\.env' && echo "WARNING: untracked .env files detected — review before staging"

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:40

  ho "WARNING: .gitignore does not exclude .env files"

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:43

  If any `.env` files would be staged:

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:48

  read -p "WARNING: .env files detected. Continue? (y/N) " confirm

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:52

  echo "ERROR: untracked .env files detected in non-interactive mode. Aborting."

• 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.

name

promote

description

Runs the full release workflow for the current project. Commits any uncommitted changes, pushes to remote, creates and merges a PR if on a feature branch, determines the next semver version from conventional commits, creates an annotated git tag and GitHub release with generated notes, cleans up merged branches, and returns to a clean main. Use when the user says promote, ship, release, commit and push, tag and release, or get back to main.
