What it does

Release is an agent skill from rweekly/rweekly.org. Publish the current R Weekly draft as a new weekly post. Use when an editor invokes /release or asks to "release", "publish", or "create the weekly post" from draft.md. Validates the draft before creating the file in posts/.

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 Data & Analytics.

When your agent uses it

An editor invokes /release
Asks to release
Create the weekly post from draft.md

Example prompts

“release”
“publish”
“create the weekly post”
“/release”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash

Workflow steps

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

Compute date and week
Summarize the Highlight section
Build the filename
Compose the post
Write the file
Reset the draft
Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72b2735. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Write
- Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
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:
- rweekly.org
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 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 635 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~58
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: notes

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

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash
```

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 635 words (~1,264 tokens).

“Publish draft.md as a new weekly issue in _posts/. Run pre-flight checks first — stop if any fail.”
