What it does

Release is an agent skill from LennartHennigs/Button2. Cut a new Button2 release — suggests version bump based on change type, updates version files and CHANGELOG, commits, tags, pushes, creates a GitHub release, and publishes to PlatformIO

Its SKILL.md is about 520 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 and Embedded systems. It works with ESP32 and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Arduino/ESP button library that provides callback functions to track single, double, triple and long clicks. It also takes care of debouncing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Embedded systems

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine the version
  2. Update version files
  3. Finalize CHANGELOG
  4. Commit, tag, push
  5. Create GitHub release
  6. Publish to PlatformIO registry

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2f8ba6a. 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 519 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~519

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.

Cut a new Button2 release — suggests version bump based on change type, updates version files and CHANGELOG, commits, tags, pushes, creates a GitHub release, and publishes to PlatformIO

Cut a new Button2 release. Follow these steps exactly:

Step 1: Determine the version

Read library.json to get the current version.

Read the ## Unreleased section of CHANGELOG.md to understand what changed.

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use that as the new version. Otherwise:

  • Classify the unreleased changes:
    • Major (x.0.0): breaking API changes, removed functions, changed signatures
    • Minor (x.y.0): new public functions, new features, new examples
    • Patch (x.y.z): bug fixes, internal changes, test additions, docs
  • Suggest the new version with a one-line explanation of your reasoning
  • Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user to confirm the suggested version or provide a different one

Step 2: Update version files

Update the version number in both:

  • library.json — the "version" field
  • library.properties — the version= line

Step 3: Finalize CHANGELOG

In CHANGELOG.md:

  • Rename ## Unreleased to ## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD (use today's date and the new version)
  • Add a fresh ## Unreleased section above it (empty, just the heading)

Step 4: Commit, tag, push

bash
git add library.json library.properties CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "chore: release vX.Y.Z"
git tag vX.Y.Z
git push && git push --tags

Step 5: Create GitHub release

Extract the release notes for this version from the CHANGELOG (the bullet points under ## [x.y.z]), then run:

bash
gh release create vX.Y.Z \
  --title "vX.Y.Z" \
  --notes "<changelog bullet points for this version>"

Step 6: Publish to PlatformIO registry

bash
pio pkg publish --no-interactive

This pushes directly to the PlatformIO registry. The Arduino Library Manager picks up the new tag automatically from GitHub — no separate step needed there.

Confirm each step succeeded and report which registries were updated.

What does Release do?

Cut a new Button2 release — suggests version bump based on change type, updates version files and CHANGELOG, commits, tags, pushes, creates a GitHub release, and publishes to PlatformIO. Release is an agent skill from LennartHennigs/Button2.

When should I use Release?

Release fits situations like: tasks that involve Changelog and release notes; tasks that involve Embedded systems.

How do I install Release in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add LennartHennigs/Button2 --skill release -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in LennartHennigs/Button2) 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 LennartHennigs/Button2 --skill release -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in LennartHennigs/Button2) 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 LennartHennigs/Button2 --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 the command-line tools its instructions call (git and gh).

Does Release access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Release safe to install?

What licence does Release use?

Release is published under the MIT 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 519 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
