What it does

Manor Release is an agent skill from manor-os/manor-ai. Use when preparing, cutting, promoting, tagging, or validating a Manor public OSS release, beta/stable release, changelog entry, release notes, docs publish, or post-release announcement.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Source-available, self-hosted AI agent workspace for small businesses and lean teams — with BYOK, workflows, tools, and human approvals.

When your agent uses it

  • Validating a Manor public OSS release
  • Beta/stable release
  • Changelog entry
  • Post-release announcement

Example prompts

  • “/manor-release”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine release type: beta/candidate, stable tag, or promote existing candidate.
  2. Inspect changes since the last relevant tag
  3. Update CHANGELOG.md with user-facing OSS changes only.
  4. Confirm README/docs-site describe current self-hosted setup, model keys, governance, and operations.
  5. Confirm public media and docs render in GitHub and the docs site.
  6. Confirm docs publishing behavior in .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml if the release should update the public docs site.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 140c09a. 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
    • npm
    • python

    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 npm, 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

Manor Release loads about 529 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 209 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~529

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 209 words (~529 tokens).

“Use this skill to coordinate a public Manor release while keeping release notes, docs, and checks self-hosted focused.”
