What it does

Release Check is an agent skill from samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp. Walk through a version bump and release for the DaVinci Resolve MCP server — version selection, every file that needs updating, required validation, tag, and GitHub Release.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: MCP server integration for DaVinci Resolve Studio. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 94c7a88. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Check loads about 373 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~373

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.

Release Check

CLAUDE.md is explicit: this repository does not maintain a separate release checklist here or anywhere else — docs/process/release-process.md is the single source of truth for version bumps, validation, tags, and GitHub Releases. This skill does not restate that checklist; restating it would create a second copy that can drift from the original.

Steps

  1. Read docs/process/release-process.md in full, current from disk — not from memory of a prior run. It changes as the release process hardens.
  2. Follow it top to bottom: version selection, every file under "Files To Update," the "Required Validation" section, and the tag/GitHub Release steps at the end.
  3. Report progress against that doc's own sections as you go, so the user can see which step you're on. Do not invent extra steps or skip any listed file — the doc calls out drift guards (test_api_limitations_doc, test_panel_docs_drift, etc.) that fail CI if a listed file is missed.
  4. If the doc's content is genuinely ambiguous or conflicts with the current repo state, stop and ask rather than guessing — this is release engineering on a published package, not exploratory work.
