What it does

Release is an agent skill from Pipelex/pipelex. Cut a release of pipelex, which ships the pipelex and pipelex-api packages and the pipelex/pipelex-api Docker image under one version: the gates, the migration-ledger cross-check, the CHANGELOG.md entry, the pyproject.toml bump with the lock and the badge, one commit, and a pull request to main that publishes to PyPI and Docker Hub on merge. Use when the user says "release", "cut a release", "bump version", "prepare a release", "make a release", "ship it", "create release branch", "promote dev to main", or any…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k 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 Containers, Pull requests and Changelog and release notes. It works with Docker and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Build AI methods with your coding agent, then run them anywhere: as an MCP for chatbots, as a webapp for people, or via API for your software.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says release
  • Prepare a release
  • Create release branch
  • Promote dev to main

Example prompts

  • “release”
  • “cut a release”
  • “bump version”
  • “/release”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. make agent-check — format, lint, pyright, mypy, plus the migration-ledger legality check, the keyword-only convention, the hub-layering…
  2. make check-migration-schemas — the schema-coverage gate, which make agent-check does not run (it is a golden check and lives in make…
  3. The ledger-against-changelog cross-check, once the gate is green. Diff the ledgers against the tag of the version the pre-flight read…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3f9c93c. 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
    • gh
    • git
    • pip
    • curl
    • jq
    • docker
    • uv

    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:

    • hub.docker.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

Release loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 180 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,609 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~180
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.8k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:106
    gnored files a fresh worktree needs** — `.env`, the `.pipelex/` overrides and `.pipelex-dev/test_profiles_override.toml`

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 2,609 words (~4,760 tokens).

“The procedure is the workspace release play, docs/workspace/releasing.md at the workspace root — ../docs/workspace/releasing.md from this repo's own root, which resolves the same from the main checkout and from any worktree. Read it first, then run it with what follows…”

Questions about Release

What does Release do?

Cut a release of pipelex, which ships the pipelex and pipelex-api packages and the pipelex/pipelex-api Docker image under one version: the gates, the migration-ledger cross-check, the CHANGELOG.md…. Release is an agent skill from Pipelex/pipelex.toml bump with the lock and the badge, one commit, and a pull request to main that publishes to PyPI and Docker Hub on merge.

When should I use Release?

Release fits situations like: the user says release; prepare a release; create release branch; promote dev to main.

How do I install Release in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Pipelex/pipelex --skill release -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in Pipelex/pipelex) 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 Pipelex/pipelex --skill release -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/release in Pipelex/pipelex) 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 Pipelex/pipelex --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?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Release needs the command-line tools its instructions call (make, gh, git, pip, curl and jq). Our summary lists: Docker.

Does Release access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: hub.docker.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Release safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Release use?

Release has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Release use?

About 4.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 19k 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: Curate Whats New (docker/docs, 4.7k stars), CI Adhoc Test (nubjs/nub, 4.4k stars), Releasing Marchat (Cod-e-Codes/marchat, 137 stars) and CI Act Run (chewiebug/GCViewer, 4.6k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
