What it does

Publishing Release is an agent skill from pambrose/prometheus-proxy. Use when publishing prometheus-proxy to Maven Central, cutting a release, running a snapshot publish, or bumping the project version — covers the Maven Central coordinates, GPG prerequisites, and the version-bump checklist.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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, covering Monitoring and alerting. It works with Prometheus, Kotlin, gRPC and Docker. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Publishing prometheus-proxy to Maven Central
  • Cutting a release
  • Running a snapshot publish
  • Bumping the project version — covers the Maven Central coordinates

Example prompts

  • “/publishing-release”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bcaf988. 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:

    • make
    • 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

Publishing Release loads about 506 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 183 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~506

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.

description
Use when publishing prometheus-proxy to Maven Central, cutting a release, running a snapshot publish, or bumping the project version — covers the Maven Central coordinates, GPG prerequisites, and the version-bump checklist.

Publishing prometheus-proxy

Published to Maven Central as com.pambrose:prometheus-proxy. No JitPack.

Repository declarations are centralized in settings.gradle.kts via dependencyResolutionManagement(FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS) and resolve solely from Maven Central.

Publish targets

Snapshot and Maven Central release Make targets (publish-snapshot, publish-maven-central) require GPG environment variables and a keychain password entry; make _check-gpg-env validates them up-front.

Bumping the version

When bumping the version, update version in gradle.properties and every hard-coded 4.2.0 literal (git grep -n for the outgoing version):

  • README.md and llms.txt — Docker tag examples + Maven Central dependency block (README also gets a new release-summary paragraph at the top of New Features)
  • etc/compose/proxy.yml — proxy and agent image tags
  • charts/prometheus-{proxy,agent}/Chart.yaml — version and appVersion (the image tag the charts deploy)
  • website/prometheus-proxy/docs/{getting-started,index,docker}.md — Docker pull/run examples
  • src/test/kotlin/website/{DockerExamples,EmbeddedAgentExamples,KubernetesExamples}.txt — snippet sources the website's Docker, Embedded Agent, and Kubernetes pages include
  • this line, and step 2 of docs/RELEASE.md

The Homebrew formulae need no edit for a bump: etc/homebrew/prometheus-{proxy,agent}.rb hold @VERSION@ / @SHA256@ placeholders that make homebrew-formulae fills in from the published GitHub release (step 9 of docs/RELEASE.md).

Leave historical mentions alone (CHANGELOG.md, RELEASE_NOTES.md, docs/archive/, the per-feature release annotations in llms.txt). The release flow itself is documented in docs/RELEASE.md.
