What it does
Release is an agent skill from ldayton/Dippy. Create a release PR with version bump and changelog
Its SKILL.md is about 320 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. The repository describes itself as: 🐤 Less permission fatigue, more momentum. Dippy knows what’s safe to run and keeps Claude on track when plans change. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
Example prompts
- “/release”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Update version in pyproject.toml and src/dippy/init.py
- Run uv sync -U to update dependencies
- Run /verify-counts and update any STALE or FAIL claims
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2edad4a. 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:
gituvjust
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 uv, 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 323 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 143 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.

- If Parable was updated, just say "Bump Parable version"
- Omit internal refactors, test changes, and CI updates
Put the changelog in the PR body. The workflow extracts it for the GitHub release.
Run just check before pushing. PR title: Release v$ARGUMENTS
After merge
Tag, push, and clean up:
git checkout main && git pull && git tag v$ARGUMENTS && git push --tags && git push origin --delete release/v$ARGUMENTSThe tag triggers a workflow that creates the GitHub release and updates the Homebrew tap.
