What it does

Release is an agent skill from MelbourneDeveloper/dart_node. Prepare and execute a release to pub.dev. Stamps placeholder versions from the tag in-runner (zero source churn), validates changelogs, checks pub.dev status, and guides through the tiered publishing process.

Its SKILL.md is about 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 Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Dart. The repository describes itself as: Write your entire stack in Dart: React web apps, React Native mobile apps with Expo, and Node.js Express backends.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-flight checks
  2. Dependency switching is automatic (no action)
  3. Validate changelogs
  4. Validate READMEs
  5. Check pub.dev status
  6. Run tests
  7. Preview the stamp (optional, local dry run)
  8. Create release tag
  9. Tier 2 publishing
  10. Tier 3 publishing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5587886. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • WebFetch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • dart
    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • pub.dev

    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 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 709 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 709 words (~1,954 tokens).

“Prepare and execute a dart_node release. This is a multi-step process that publishes packages in tiers due to interdependencies.”
