What it does

Playground Snapshot Release is an agent skill from mastra-ai/mastra. Publish a Playground UI snapshot (@mastra/playground-ui and its workspace dependencies) from main or the current branch via the playground-snapshot mode of the Publish to npm workflow, wait for it to finish, then open a PR on mastra-ai/platform bumping the frontend to the published snapshot version. Use when asked to release, publish, or ship a playground/studio UI snapshot to the platform frontend.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Pull requests. It works with Mastra, npm and Git. The repository describes itself as: Mastra is the modern TypeScript framework for AI-powered applications and agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to release
  • Ship a playground/studio UI snapshot to the platform frontend

Example prompts

  • “/playground-snapshot-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ask which branch
  2. Prepare the branch
  3. Choose the tag
  4. Dispatch
  5. Wait for completion
  6. Resolve the published version
  7. Open the platform PR
  8. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b98829a. 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
    • pnpm
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, gh, pnpm 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

Playground Snapshot Release loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 642 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 642 words (~1,728 tokens).

“Dispatches .github/workflows/npm-publish.yml with publish_type=playground-snapshot. That job publishes only @mastra/playground-ui and its non-private workspace dependencies (currently @mastra/ai-sdk, @mastra/client-js, @mastra/core, @mastra/schema-compat, @mastra/react) at version 0.0.0--. It refuses to run on main, and publishes real immutable npm versions.”
