What it does

Bcut Release is an agent skill from JimLiu/baocut. Build, sign, notarize, verify and publish BaoCut Electron desktop releases, or prepare portable signing backups. Use for App version bumps, Mac releases and GitHub release continuation; excludes video-production craft skills and legacy standalone bcut CLI releases.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Media & Creative, covering Backup and disaster recovery, Video production and Transcription. It works with GitHub, macOS and npm. The repository describes itself as: BaoCut: an AI video agent with an editable timeline. Transcribe, subtitle, translate, dub, cut and animate.

When your agent uses it

  • App version bumps
  • Mac releases and GitHub release continuation
  • Excludes video-production craft skills and legacy standalone bcut CLI releases

Example prompts

  • “/bcut-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect existing tags/assets. Preserve immutable bytes; differing bytes require
  2. Once the build commit is remote, create a draft baocut-v-build.
  3. Upload ZIP, DMG, checksums, sanitized report and appcast. Remove local-only paths
  4. Publish, freshly download ZIP/DMG, compare hashes/sizes, extract ZIP and repeat
  5. Last copy the generated appcast to apps/desktop/releases/, parse it with the App

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fc3f476. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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

Bcut Release loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 811 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
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

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 811 words (~1,670 tokens).

“This is the Electron v3 App. The older baocut-app skill is a reference, not an executable workflow for this checkout. Do not call its GPUI builder, modify its website, or require standalone CLI/npm/Homebrew releases.”
