What it does
Release is an agent skill from jtenniswood/espcontrol. Create and safely publish a new GitHub release for this repository through a verified draft build, then confirm the related GitHub Actions run. Use when the user says "/release", "make a release", "create a GitHub release", "publish a release", "tag a release", "major release", "feature release", "minor release", "patch release", "start the release action", or wants firmware release assets generated by GitHub Actions.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitHub and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Esphome based smart home control panel.
When your agent uses it
- The user says /release
- Create a GitHub release
- Publish a release
- Feature release
Example prompts
- “/release”
- “make a release”
- “create a GitHub release”
- “/release”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Check Readiness
- Choose the Version
- Verify Release Source Readiness
- Create the Tag and Draft Release
- Start and Watch the Release Action
- Verify Outputs
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72cf82c. 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:
ghgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, 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
Release loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 592 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 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 592 words (~1,654 tokens).
“Create a draft GitHub release from main, dispatch the Build Release action, and watch it build and verify the complete firmware distribution. The workflow uploads assets while the release is private and publishes it only after every asset has been…”
