What it does

Cutting Releases is an agent skill from purefunctor/purescript-iris. Cuts Iris GitHub releases through the version-bump PR, merge commit, tag-driven build workflow, attestations, installer tests, and generated release notes. Use when preparing, publishing, verifying, or backfilling notes for a purescript-iris release.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A compiler for the PureScript programming language.

When your agent uses it

  • Backfilling notes for a purescript-iris release
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/cutting-releases”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Establish the release range
  2. Prepare the version-bump commit
  3. Open and validate the release PR
  4. Merge, then tag the merge commit
  5. Monitor the complete release workflow
  6. Generate and persist patch notes
  7. Final verification

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c483348. 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:

    • gh
    • git
    • cargo

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and 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

Cutting Releases loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 585 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 585 words (~1,535 tokens).

“Use this workflow for stable purescript-iris releases. A pushed stable v* tag triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which creates the GitHub release, builds and attests four archives, and tests the installers on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Automated v-dev. canaries are owned by .github/workflows/canary.yml…”
