At a glance

Prepare the first KeeForge candidate for a new marketing version, including minor/major releases and patches or hotfixes to shipped versions.

  • Initial TestFlight candidate
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Use respin-release for another candidate of the same version and ship-release for production publication

What it does

Prepare Release is an agent skill from KeeForge/KeeForge. Prepare the first KeeForge candidate for a new marketing version, including minor/major releases and patches or hotfixes to shipped versions. Prepare version and release notes, use the correct release branch, build and gate iOS, Mac App Store, and direct Mac artifacts, and hand off for soak. Use for a new version, version bump, release cut, patch, or initial TestFlight candidate; use respin-release for another candidate of the same version and ship-release for production publication.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/candidate.md` and `references/gate-adjudication.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release and Changelog and release notes. It works with iOS, macOS and App Store Connect. The repository describes itself as: KeePass-compatible password manager for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Initial TestFlight candidate
  • Use respin-release for another candidate of the same version and ship-release for production publication

Example prompts

  • “/prepare-release”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2959200. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Prepare Release loads about 572 tokens when it runs, and up to ~21k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 198 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~126
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~572
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~21k

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.

description
Prepare the first KeeForge candidate for a new marketing version, including minor/major releases and patches or hotfixes to shipped versions. Prepare version and release notes, use the correct release branch, build and gate iOS, Mac App Store, and direct Mac artifacts, and hand off for soak. Use for a new version, version bump, release cut, patch, or initial TestFlight candidate; use respin-release for another candidate of the same version and ship-release for production publication.

Prepare a KeeForge release

Read the shared release contract first. Establish the requested version, release branch, and existing shipped/RC tags before changing files.

  • New minor or major: read new-release.md. Prepare release content on main, then cut release/{major}.{minor}.
  • Patch to a shipped version: read patch.md. Use the existing release/{major}.{minor} branch so the patch excludes newer features on main.
  • Another candidate of an unshipped version: use respin-release.
  • Publish an accepted candidate: use ship-release.

If the requested version or starting point is ambiguous, resolve it before mutation.

Before committing release content, obtain approval of the exact headings and paragraphs, then confirmation of the rendered What's New screenshots. Follow the shared release-content preview requirement; an approved feature outline alone is insufficient.

Both preparation paths use the same candidate procedure: build-number preflight, both local KDBX gates, immutable RC tag/manifest, hosted gates and local Mac smoke, exact artifact verification, and authorized beta distribution. Follow those steps in order; patches do not skip gates. Read soak.md for the handoff and measurements: 48 hours for a minor/major release, 24 hours for a patch. A respin resets that version's clock.

Merge release-branch changes back using merge-back.md. Stop at the beta/direct-artifact handoff unless production shipping is explicitly requested.
