What it does

Releasing is an agent skill from marciogranzotto/clawd-tank. Cuts a new versioned release of the Clawd Tank macOS menu bar app. Use when the user asks to release, cut a release, publish a release, ship a version, or bump the version. The release is fully automated by a GitHub Actions workflow that triggers on a vX.Y.Z tag push — do NOT build or zip the app manually.

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 DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with macOS and GitHub Actions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to release
  • Publish a release
  • Bump the version
  • A vX.Y.Z tag push — do NOT build

Example prompts

  • “/releasing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a8942d1. 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

Releasing loads about 923 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 288 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~923

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.

description
Cuts a new versioned release of the Clawd Tank macOS menu bar app. Use when the user asks to release, cut a release, publish a release, ship a version, or bump the version. The release is fully automated by a GitHub Actions workflow that triggers on a vX.Y.Z tag push — do NOT build or zip the app manually.

Releasing Clawd Tank

The macOS app release is fully automated by CI. .github/workflows/release.yml triggers on any v* tag push and: builds the static simulator, runs py2app, bundles the simulator into the .app, zips clawd-tank-macos-arm64.zip, and creates the GitHub release with that asset attached.

The only manual steps are: merge to master, tag vX.Y.Z, push the tag.

Critical: do NOT build or zip manually

host/build.sh and ditto/zip are for local installs only. Running them to produce a release artifact is wasted work — the workflow rebuilds everything on the runner. Pushing the tag is the entire release trigger.

How versioning works

There is no hardcoded version string to edit. host/setup.py's _bake_version() runs git describe --tags --exact-match HEAD at build time:

  • HEAD on a clean vX.Y.Z tag → baked version is vX.Y.Z.
  • Otherwise → <branch>+<N>@<sha>[-dirty].

host/clawd_tank_menubar/version.py only reads this (_version_info.py is generated and gitignored). So "bump the version" = create the git tag.

Tags are semver vX.Y.Z, published as GitHub releases. Decide patch vs minor by what landed since the last tag — bugfixes only → patch; new user-facing features → minor. Confirm the number with the user if unsure:

bash
git log "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)"..master --oneline

Release workflow

- [ ] 1. Merge the PR to master (merge commit — matches repo convention)
- [ ] 2. Sync local master
- [ ] 3. Confirm the version number (patch vs minor)
- [ ] 4. Verify the tree is clean (so the baked version isn't "-dirty")
- [ ] 5. Tag vX.Y.Z on master HEAD and push the tag (this triggers CI)
- [ ] 6. Watch the Release workflow finish
- [ ] 7. Edit the release to add a title + notes (CI leaves them blank)
- [ ] 8. Verify the release + asset

1–2. Merge and sync (the repo uses merge commits, not squash):

bash
gh pr merge <N> --merge --delete-branch
git checkout master && git pull --ff-only

4. Clean-tree check. _version_info.py, host/dist/, host/build/, and simulator/build-static/ are gitignored, so they don't dirty the tree:

bash
git status --porcelain   # must print nothing

5. Tag and push — pushing the tag is what triggers the release:

bash
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Clawd Tank vX.Y.Z — <one-line summary>"
git push origin vX.Y.Z

6. Watch CI (~2–3 min):

bash
gh run watch "$(gh run list --workflow=release.yml --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')" --exit-status

7. Add release notes. The workflow creates the release with a bare vX.Y.Z title and an empty body. Give it a real title and notes, and include a changelog compare link:

bash
gh release edit vX.Y.Z \
  --title "vX.Y.Z — <theme>" \
  --notes "## Highlights
...
**Full changelog:** https://github.com/marciogranzotto/clawd-tank/compare/<prevtag>...vX.Y.Z"

8. Verify:

bash
gh release view vX.Y.Z --json tagName,isDraft,assets
# expect: isDraft false, asset clawd-tank-macos-arm64.zip present

Optional: update your own machine

To run the released build locally (not part of publishing):

bash
cd host && ./build.sh --install   # rebuilds at the tag, bakes the clean version, copies to /Applications

Then kill and relaunch the app so it picks up the new bundle.
