What it does

Release is an agent skill from kellerza/sunsynk. Bump sunsynk version (major/minor/bugfix), rewrite the Unreleased changelog heading, commit, push to main, and open a draft GitHub release with a v-prefixed tag. Use when the user asks to release, bump version, or cut a major/minor/bugfix release.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 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 Changelog and release notes. It works with GitHub and Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Deye/Sunsynk Inverter Python library and Home Assistant OS Addon. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to release
  • Cut a major/minor/bugfix release

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Current branch is main
  2. Working tree is clean (git status --porcelain empty)
  3. Bump parameter is one of major | minor | bugfix

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4628ca7. 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:

    • git
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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 920 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 432 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~920

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.

Release

Bump version, push to main, and open a draft GitHub release (v0.0.0 tag). Publishing the draft (not creating it) starts CI.

Parameter

Require one bump kind (ask if missing):

InputSemver effect
majorX.Y.Z → (X+1).0.0
minorX.Y.Z → X.(Y+1).0
bugfixX.Y.Z → X.Y.(Z+1)

Preconditions (abort if unmet)

Run from the sunsynk repo root. Stop with a clear message unless all pass:

  1. Current branch is main
  2. Working tree is clean (git status --porcelain empty)
  3. Bump parameter is one of major | minor | bugfix

Steps

  1. Rebase against the current head: git pull --rebase
  2. Bump the version in pyproject.toml according to the input
  3. Use the new version string and change the ## Unreleased heading in hass-addon-sunsynk-edge/CHANGELOG.md to ## Release x.x.x
  4. Copy hass-addon-sunsynk-edge/CHANGELOG.md to hass-addon-sunsynk-multi/CHANGELOG.md
  5. In www/docs/reference/multi-options.md, remove every edge-only option prefix <i-mdi-dev-to class="vp-edge-option-icon" /> (list items and table cells). Leave the ::: tip block unchanged — it stays for future edge-only options.
  6. Commit using the release number (0.0.0 form) as the message and push to GitHub
  7. Create a draft GitHub release with tag v0.0.0 (semantic version preceded by v)
  8. Notify the user to review and publish the draft release on GitHub to start the release process

Implementation notes

  • Read current version from [project] → version = "..." in pyproject.toml.

  • Heading match is case-insensitive for ## Unreleased; write ## Release <new_version> (no v prefix).

  • Stage only pyproject.toml, hass-addon-sunsynk-edge/CHANGELOG.md, hass-addon-sunsynk-multi/CHANGELOG.md, and www/docs/reference/multi-options.md (if the edge prefixes were present). Include uv.lock if the version bump changed it. The multi CHANGELOG copy is the one allowed hand-edit under hass-addon-sunsynk-multi/ in this skill (overwrite; do not merge).

  • When stripping edge prefixes, delete the HTML tag and the space after it so bullets stay - \OPTION`` (or the table cell starts with the backtick). Do not touch the tip, and do not rewrite surrounding option text.

  • Do not copy config.yaml here. On a published release, deployer2.yml copies edge config.yaml, translations/, and apparmor.txt onto stable except name/slug, then sets version to the tag.

  • Commit message is exactly the new version string (e.g. 0.9.4), nothing else.

  • Push: git push to origin on main (this skill authorizes push).

  • Draft release (after push), with network/gh permissions as needed:

    bash
    gh release create "v${VER}" --draft --generate-notes --target main --title "v${VER}"

    Tag must be v + version (e.g. v0.9.4). CI strips the leading v when checking against pyproject.toml. Do not use --latest on a draft.

  • Do not publish the release; leave it draft so the user can review notes first. release.published is what starts CI.

Done message

Tell the user the new version, that the commit was pushed, link the draft release URL from gh, and that they should publish the draft on GitHub when ready to start CI (PyPI + add-ons).
