What it does

Sake CI Release is an agent skill from kattouf/Sake. Use when working on CI workflows, GitHub Actions, release process, changelog generation (git-cliff), or dependabot configuration.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 Development, covering Dependency management, Changelog and release notes and Deployment. It works with Git, GitHub Actions, Bash and macOS. The repository describes itself as: 🍶 Swift-based utility for managing project commands, inspired by Make. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on CI workflows
  • Release process
  • Changelog generation (git-cliff)
  • Dependabot configuration

Example prompts

  • “/sake-ci-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. jdx/mise-action@v2 (install only, no auto-install of tools)
  2. swift-actions/setup-swift@v2 with specified Swift version
  3. kattouf/setup-sake@v1 — installs sake + caches prebuilt SakeApp binary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80a3e98. 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:

    • swift

    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

Sake CI Release loads about 731 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~731

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.

Landing Code in Main

Direct commit

For small changes. Commit message MUST have conventional commit prefix.

Pull Request (squash merge only)

For larger changes. PR title MUST have conventional commit prefix (enforced by semantic-pr-lint). Commits inside branch — free format. Only squash merge is allowed (merge commit and rebase disabled).

Branch Naming

kebab-case, optionally type-prefixed: feat-, fix-, doc-. Not enforced, not used for release notes.
