What it does

Release is an agent skill from onevcat/Prowl. Build, sign, notarize, and publish a Prowl release.

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 Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: native macOS codings agent orchestrator.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify current branch is main: git branch --show-current
  2. Verify working tree is clean: git status --porcelain
  3. Sync the docs to the code being released — before the version bump and tag
  4. Determine the version
  5. Generate release notes: ./scripts/release-notes.sh
  6. Run the release script: ./scripts/release.sh
  7. Report the GitHub release URL and remind the user to verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 386b8d0. 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

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

  • Network

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

Release loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 644 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
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 644 words (~1,164 tokens).

“Build, sign, notarize, and publish a Prowl release.”
