What it does
Release is an agent skill from kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Prepare and publish a stable release in two phases by reusing the shared release-tag and release-note-doc-pr skills, building artifacts in GitHub, generating release notes and draft releases locally, validating release assets, and controlling latest-release status explicitly. Use when the user wants to perform a full release, publish a new version, or mentions releasing, shipping a version, or the end-to-end release process.
Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/release.py`).
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Deployment. It works with Kubernetes and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Cloud provider for Azure. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to perform a full release
- Publish a new version
- Mentions releasing
- Shipping a version
Example prompts
- “/release”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- prepare: create and push the release tag, dispatch the Release
- publish: publish the draft release with an explicit latest-release policy
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0201852. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Release loads about 850 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- Prepare and publish a stable release in two phases by reusing the shared release-tag and release-note-doc-pr skills, building artifacts in GitHub, generating release notes and draft releases locally, validating release assets, and controlling latest-release status explicitly. Use when the user wants to perform a full release, publish a new version, or mentions releasing, shipping a version, or the end-to-end release process.
Manual Release
Overview
Use this skill when you want a draft-first release flow with explicit control over tag creation, workflow dispatch, publication, and the follow-up documentation PR.
This skill reuses the shared scripts from:
create-release-tagscreate-release-note-doc-pr
Workflow
prepare: create and push the release tag, dispatch theReleaseworkflow manually, wait for the workflow to finish, download the workflow artifacts, generate release notes locally, create or update the draft release, upload the assets, and verify that the draft release contains the expected assets.publish: publish the draft release with an explicit latest-release policy and then open the documentation PR for the same tag.
Quick Start
Replace <SKILL_DIR> with the path of this skill directory.
Prepare a draft release from release-1.35:
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/release.py prepare --branch release-1.35Publish an existing draft release and open the docs PR:
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/release.py publish --tag v1.35.7Preview either phase without changing state:
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/release.py prepare --branch release-1.35 --tag v1.35.7 --dry-run
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/release.py publish --tag v1.35.7 --dry-runCommands
Prepare a draft release:
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/release.py prepare \
--branch <release-X.Y> [--tag <vX.Y.Z>] [--remote <name>] [--workflow release.yaml]Publish a draft release:
python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/release.py publish \
--tag <vX.Y.Z> [--latest auto|always|never] [--remote <name>] \
[--base-remote <name>] [--push-remote <name>] [--base-branch <name>]Notes
.github/workflows/release.yamlnow builds artifacts only. It no longer generates release notes or creates/publishes release objects.preparepushes the tag, manually dispatches.github/workflows/release.yaml, waits for the build to finish, downloads the workflow artifacts, generates the release notes locally, creates or updates the draft release, uploads the assets, and verifies the draft contents.publishkeeps latest-release handling explicit.--latest automarks the release as latest only when itsmajor.minorseries is the highest stable series currently published.- The release description is generated locally by the same
hack/generate-release-note.shflow used by the docs workflow, so the skill is no longer coupled to the release GitHub Action for notes generation. - The publish phase calls the shared
create-release-note-doc-prscript after the GitHub release is published.
Error Handling
If the script or any command fails, do not make up new scripts to work around the error and do not fabricate or guess at content. Instead, report the failure and exact error message to the user and let them decide how to proceed.

Release is an agent skill from kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Prepare and publish a stable release in two phases by reusing the shared release-tag and release-note-doc-pr skills, building artifacts in GitHub, generating release notes and draft releases locally, validating release assets, and controlling latest-release status explicitly.
When should I use Release?
Release fits situations like: the user wants to perform a full release; publish a new version; mentions releasing; shipping a version.
How do I install Release in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure --skill release -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/release in kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure) into .claude/skills/release in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Release in Codex?
Run `npx skills add kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure --skill release -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/release in kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure) into .agents/skills/release in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Release in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure --skill release -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/release, .gemini/skills/release, .github/skills/release and .opencode/skills/release in your project.
What does Release need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Release needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Release access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Release safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Release use?
Release is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Release use?
About 850 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Release?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Release: EverOS Release Workflow (EverMind-AI/EverOS, 13k stars), Release (ngrok/ngrok-operator, 272 stars), Remotion Bits Release (av/remotion-bits, 488 stars) and Cline CLI Release Publisher (cline/cline, 70k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Release?
kubernetes-sigs (a GitHub organization, an official publisher) maintains it in kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-azure, which has 294 GitHub stars. The repository holds 12 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 9, 2026.
