What it does

Provider Release is an agent skill from mondoohq/mql. Release mql providers and cut mql/cnspec releases, stable or pre-release. Use when the user wants to release providers, bump provider versions, check which providers have changes, publish a provider to the preview channel, cut a release candidate (rc), or understand why a published provider or release did not reach clients. Triggers on requests like "release providers", "bump provider versions", "release the os provider", "do an rc release", "cut v14.0.0-rc.N", "why is the old provider still installed".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: open source, cloud-native, graph-based query language.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to release providers
  • Bump provider versions
  • Check which providers have changes
  • Publish a provider to the preview channel

Example prompts

  • “release providers”
  • “bump provider versions”
  • “release the os provider”
  • “/provider-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. providers/// archives exist (right after the build job).
  2. providers//.json moves to the new version.
  3. providers/.json, the index, moves. The provider-index job

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ffbaa58. 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
    • go
    • curl
    • jq
    • gh

    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:

    • releases.mondoo.com

    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

Provider Release loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,020 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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 1,020 words (~2,195 tokens).
