skills CLI

$ npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill release -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI

$ gh skill install parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 release --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy

What it does

Release is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Release preparation workflow - security audit → E2E tests → review → changelog → docs

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Development, covering Changelog and release notes, End-to-end testing and Security review. The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Security Audit
E2E Tests
Final Review
Version Bump & Changelog
Release Notes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k

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.

Agent Sequence

#	Agent	Role	Output
1	aegis	Security vulnerability scan	Security report

Why This Order?

Security first: Catch vulnerabilities before they ship
E2E tests: Verify full system works end-to-end
Final review: Human-in-the-loop approval
Version bump: Only after approval
Documentation: Ship with proper release notes

Execution

Phase 1: Security Audit

Task(

  - Hardcoded secrets/credentials
  - SQL injection, XSS, CSRF risks
  - Authentication/authorization issues
  - Insecure configurations

  Output: Security report with severity levels
  """
)

Phase 2: E2E Tests

Questions about Release

What does Release do?

Release preparation workflow - security audit → E2E tests → review → changelog → docs. Release is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.

When should I use Release?

Release fits situations like: tasks that involve Changelog and release notes; tasks that involve End-to-end testing; tasks that involve Security review.

How do I install Release in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill release -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) 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 parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill release -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) 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 parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --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?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Release is instructions for the agent only.

Does Release access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Release safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Release use?

Release is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Release use?

About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.2k 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: Dependency Update Bot (Varnan-Tech/opendirectory, 674 stars), Openiap Workflows (hyodotdev/openiap, 154 stars), Tag Release (vfarcic/dot-agent-deck, 109 stars) and Security Updates (SmilyOrg/photofield, 608 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Release?

parcadei (a GitHub user) maintains it in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3, which has 3,940 GitHub stars. The repository holds 141 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on January 26, 2026.
