Workflow steps

Pre-Release Preparation
Version Bump & Changelog

GitHub Release
Announcements

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b0d3671. 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:
- cargo
- rg
- git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- github.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

Pop CLI Release loads about 972 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~972

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.
