What it does
Release Flow is an agent skill from ossianhempel/things3-cli. Maintainer release workflow for things3-cli. Use when preparing, validating, tagging, publishing, or verifying a public things3-cli release or Homebrew formula update.
Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/release-flow.md`).
It sits in Development. It works with Homebrew and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: CLI for Things 3, implemented in Go.
When your agent uses it
- Verifying a public things3-cli release
- Homebrew formula update
Example prompts
- “/release-flow”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm the release version (SemVer scope of the merged changes).
- Add a ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD section to CHANGELOG.md with the bullets.
- Run make test; build (./scripts/build-release.sh vX.Y.Z) and smoke-test a
- Sanity-check release notes with ./scripts/release-notes.sh vX.Y.Z.
- Open a release PR and merge it — CI tags and publishes the release.
- After CI publishes, verify the GitHub release, then regenerate both formulas
- Commit + push ~/Developer/homebrew-tap; open a follow-up PR for the in-repo
- Verify the Homebrew install path (brew reinstall ossianhempel/tap/things3-cli).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1a91642. 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:
makeghbrew
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Release Flow loads about 543 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 254 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 254 words (~543 tokens).
