What it does

Release is an agent skill from jgravelle/jcodemunch-mcp. Publishing a jMunch release (jcodemunch-mcp, jdocmunch-mcp, jdatamunch-mcp, jragmunch-cli), reviewing/merging/closing PRs, and responding to the community. Load before any version bump, PyPI upload, tag, GitHub release, MCP registry publish, or PR merge.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol, GitHub and Bash. The repository describes itself as: Cut AI token costs 95%+ on code exploration. The leading MCP server for precise, symbol-level GitHub code retrieval via tree-sitter AST. Works with Claude Code, Cursor & any MCP…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 526da05. 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
    • python
    • uv
    • uvx
    • curl
    • pip

    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:

    • registry.modelcontextprotocol.io

    Also links to:

    • jcodemunch.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Release loads about 6.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,898 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.5k

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 1,898 words (~6,467 tokens).

“⚠⚠ THIS FILE MIXES TWO AUDIENCES AND THE SPLIT IS LOAD-BEARING. Almost every command below is run BY THE AGENT through the Bash tool (Git Bash), so bash syntax is correct for them: PYTHONPATH=src python ..., GITHUB_TOKEN="" gh ..., BR=$(...)…”
