What it does
Jewel Release is an agent skill from JetBrains/intellij-community, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Prepare a Jewel PR or release: checks, release notes, cherry-picks, tagging.
Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/pull-request.md`, `references/release.md` and `scripts/maintainers.fallback.json`).
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: IntelliJ IDEA & IntelliJ Platform.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
Example prompts
- “/jewel-release”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 27dbc78. 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:
BashReadGlobGrepAskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Jewel Release loads about 348 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 128 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: 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, Read, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion
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); the scripts in this folder 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 128 words (~348 tokens).
“Both workflows are interactive checklists. Work through one step at a time, report the result of each step, and stop to ask the user before you move on when a check fails.”
