What it does

Windsurf Release Automation is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute automate release processes with semantic versioning. Activate when users mention "release automation", "version bump", "changelog generation", "semantic release", or "publish release". Handles release engineering automation. Use when working with windsurf release automation functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf release automation", "windsurf automation", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/directory-structure.md`, `references/errors.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Deployment. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • S mention release automation
  • Changelog generation
  • Semantic release
  • Publish release

Example prompts

  • “release automation”
  • “version bump”
  • “changelog generation”
  • “/windsurf-release-automation”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Configure Version Strategy
  2. Set Up Automation
  3. Prepare Release
  4. Execute Release
  5. Post-Release Tasks

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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.windsurf.ai
    • semantic-release.gitbook.io
    • conventionalcommits.org

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Windsurf Release Automation loads about 504 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~504
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.
