What it does

Mz Dbt Release is an agent skill from MaterializeInc/materialize. Cut a dbt-materialize PyPI release: bump the version in version.py and setup.py, date the Unreleased CHANGELOG entry, and open the release PR with a Ship: <url body. Trigger: "cut a dbt release", "release dbt-materialize", "release the dbt adapter", "ship dbt-materialize vX.Y.Z", "publish dbt-materialize to PyPI", "bump dbt-materialize version", "new dbt adapter version". Use this skill even if the user just says "ship the dbt adapter" or pastes a feature PR and asks for "the next dbt release" without naming…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Data pipelines and ETL and Changelog and release notes. It works with dbt and PostgreSQL. The repository describes itself as: The live data layer for apps and AI agents. Create up-to-the-second views into your business, just using SQL.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Data pipelines and ETL
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “cut a dbt release”
  • “release dbt-materialize”
  • “release the dbt adapter”
  • “/mz-dbt-release”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b760ecc. 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
    • cargo

    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

Mz Dbt Release loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 419 words (~1,171 tokens).

“A release PR bumps the published version of the dbt-materialize PyPI package. It is mechanical: three files change, one commit, one PR.”
