  • Shipping wally after a published SDK kit

What it does

Wally Release is an agent skill from RunanywhereAI/wally. Cut an Wally product release (independent of SDK version) — version bump, release:patch label, merge, auto-tag, bottles. Use when shipping wally after a published SDK kit, or when Homebrew / notarization / private overlays must not leak into public bottles.

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 works with Homebrew, GitHub, macOS and C++. The repository describes itself as: Get up and running with GLM-5.3-flash, DeepSeek, Gemma and other open source frontier models. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Shipping wally after a published SDK kit
  • Homebrew / notarization / private overlays must not leak into public bottles

Example prompts

  • “/wally-release”

Requirements

  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Facts
  2. Pin the SDK kit first
  3. Product version + label
  4. CI bar before merge
  5. Merge triggers the release
  6. Verify the GitHub Release
  7. Overlays after the public cut

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4687fde. 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

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wally Release loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 563 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
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.

Wally release

Repo: RunanywhereAI/wally. Product version is [product] version in versions.toml — CMake's project(wally VERSION …) reads it directly; Cargo.toml's version and Formula/wally.rb's version stamp must match it (scripts/ci/check-versions.py, and build.rs asserts the Cargo.toml / versions.toml pair at build time). Independent of the SDK kit pin.

Do this after the SDK GitHub Release this pin targets is published (not draft). Companion: wally-kit-pin, then this skill.

0. Facts

  • Label form is release:patch / release:minor / release:major (colon). .github/workflows/auto-tag.yml matches that spelling only.
  • Merge to main with that label → auto-tag pushes v<CMakeLists VERSION> and dispatches release.yml. Tag pushes with GITHUB_TOKEN do not trigger other workflows; the dispatch is required.
  • Checkout in auto-tag uses persist-credentials: true so the tag push works.
  • release.yml jobs: macos (macos-arm64 bottle), windows-arm64 and windows (windows-x86_64 zip), linux (linux-x86_64 bottle), then publish assembles the GitHub Release. macos runner must be macos-26 (Xcode 26 / Swift 6.2). macos-15 is Swift 6.1 and cannot resolve the SDK package; macos-14 is Swift 5.10.
  • Public bottle / zip is OSS only. NeuRT / QHexRT overlays are workflow artifacts or WALLY_PRIVATE_OVERLAY, never public release assets, never Homebrew bottles.
  • Linux bottles are not a v1 merge blocker.

1. Pin the SDK kit first

If this train needs new engines (sherpa routable, windows-arm64 kit, NeuRT image gen): bump cmake/sdk-pin.cmake + CI ref: v$SDK in the same PR (wally-kit-pin). CI must be green on that pin before you bump the product version.

2. Product version + label

Next patch after 0.7.0 is 0.7.1. Bump versions.toml [product] version, Cargo.toml's version, and any Formula version stamp in the same commit (scripts/ci/check-versions.py fails the PR if they drift). Open/update the PR and apply exactly one release:patch (or minor/major).

gh pr create --label release:patch is not atomic with the opened event — verify the label landed (gh pr view --json labels).

3. CI bar before merge

Required: macOS product e2e (scripts/test/e2e.sh ./build/wally) and Windows e2e against the pinned kit. agents-sync.yml must pass (scripts/ci/check-agents-sync.sh).

Re-check immediately before merge (a rollup of SUCCESS can hide checks that have not started):

bash
gh pr checks <pr> --repo RunanywhereAI/wally --json name,state,bucket \
  --jq '[.[] | select(.state == null or .state == "")] | length'   # must be 0

Do not merge on a partial matrix. Confirm bypass eligibility the same way as the SDK (bypass_pull_request_allowances) before --admin.

4. Merge triggers the release

bash
gh pr merge <pr> --repo RunanywhereAI/wally --squash --admin   # only if allow-listed

auto-tag.yml tags v$PRODUCT and dispatches release.yml. Unlike the SDK train, there is typically no pre-merge candidate to reuse — let this release.yml run. Watch it; do not cancel macos for being "slow" (MLX host link + e2e).

5. Verify the GitHub Release

bash
gh release view v$PRODUCT --repo RunanywhereAI/wally --json isDraft,assets \
  --jq '{isDraft, names: [.assets[].name]}'

Expect wally-$PRODUCT-macos-arm64.tar.gz, wally-$PRODUCT-windows-x86_64.zip, wally-$PRODUCT-windows-arm64.zip, and wally-$PRODUCT-linux-x86_64.tar.gz (each + .sha256). Must be empty for *neurt*, *qhexrt*, *private*.

If release.yml still creates a non-draft release, that is the live product cut — confirm asset names before anyone bottles from it. Stamp Formula from the macOS sidecar (scripts/release/stamp-formula.py) when that path is wired.

6. Overlays after the public cut

Private packs stay off the public release. For a machine that should load NeuRT / QHexRT:

bash
export WALLY_PRIVATE_OVERLAY=/path/to/RunAnywhere-cpp-desktop-macos-arm64-neurt-private-v$SDK.tar.gz
# or windows-arm64-qhexrt

WALLY_REQUIRE_PRIVATE=1 fails closed when the overlay is missing. Default CI must pass without it.

Device proof is not CI: rebuild overlay wally on a Mac (NeuRT image gen) and on Snapdragon ARM64 Windows (QHexRT). Match QAIRT to the device Hexagon skel (ADSP_LIBRARY_PATH); see wally-e2e. Public v0.5.1 bottles are OSS — NeuRT/QHexRT will never appear in wally backends on those artifacts.

Do not

  • Attach wally-* assets onto an SDK GitHub Release.
  • Pin fetch-kit.sh at a draft SDK tag.
  • Ship NeuRT / QHexRT inside the public bottle "just this once".
  • Use macos-14 or macos-15 for the Apple job (need macos-26 / Swift 6.2).
  • Weaken assert-backends.sh when HAS_SHERPA/HAS_ONNX is TRUE.
