What it does

Release is an agent skill from Meridiona/meridian. Operate Meridian's explicit RC-to-stable release promotion pipeline.

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 works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Stop letting your work go unnoticed. Meridian keeps an automatic work journal of what you worked on and what you finished, summarised daily, and automatically drafts your project…

Example prompts

“/release”

Requirements

A credential in APPLE_API_KEY
A credential in TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Edit, Grep, Write

Workflow steps

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

validates the candidate tag and draft release;
builds macOS aarch64 and Windows x86_64 in parallel;
sets the product version to final X.Y.Z;
signs updater payloads;
signs/notarizes macOS;
packages Windows;
composes updater manifests;
uploads candidate assets;
runs exact-artifact macOS and Windows smokes;
uploads proof assets;
publishes the RC only after both proofs exist.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 06af902. 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
- Edit
- Grep
- Write
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- APPLE_API_KEY
- APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD
- TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY
- TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Release loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 736 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~19
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.

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, Edit, Grep, Write
```

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 736 words (~1,710 tokens).

“Read docs/ci-cd.md first. It is the canonical description of branch, CI, cache, smoke-test, and release architecture.”

How do I install Release in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Meridiona/meridian --skill release -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in Meridiona/meridian) into .claude/skills/release in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Release in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Meridiona/meridian --skill release -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in Meridiona/meridian) into .agents/skills/release in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Release in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Meridiona/meridian --skill release -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/release, .gemini/skills/release, .github/skills/release and .opencode/skills/release in your project.

What does Release need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Release needs the command-line tools its instructions call (gh) and credentials named APPLE_API_KEY, APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD, TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY and TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD. Our summary lists: A credential in APPLE_API_KEY; A credential in TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Edit, Grep, Write.

Does Release access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Release safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Release use?

Release has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Release use?

About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Release?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Release: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), MCP Server Builder (shareAI-lab/learn-claude-code, 78k stars), MCP Integration for Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 38k stars) and Figma use_figma Plugin API Rules (warpdotdev/warp, 65k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Release?
