What it does

Release Tweets is an agent skill from steipete/agent-scripts. Release tweets: draft/copy/post from changelog, tags, npm/appcast, artifacts.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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 Writing & Content, covering Social media posts and Changelog and release notes. It works with X (Twitter) and npm. The repository describes itself as: Scripts for agents, shared between my repositories. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Social media posts
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/release-tweets”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79150cf. 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 Tweets loads about 992 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~992

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 Tweets

Use when the user asks for a release tweet, launch tweet, X announcement, release thread, changelog-to-tweet rewrite, or social copy for a shipped version. This skill is about release copy, not cutting the release.

Ground The Copy

  • Verify the release target before writing confident copy:
    • read the relevant CHANGELOG.md section or GitHub release notes
    • check the tag/release/npm/appcast/artifact state that applies to the project
    • distinguish Unreleased, beta/prerelease, stable, hotfix, and correction releases
  • Do not say a feature shipped only because it is in the top changelog block. Confirm the tag/release/package evidence when available.
  • Lead with user-visible wins: features, integrations, workflow improvements, install/update reliability, security fixes.
  • Avoid leading with CI, coverage, validation, refactors, internal migrations, or release mechanics unless that is the actual story.
  • If evidence is incomplete, say what is unverified and draft with softer wording.

Launch Tweet Shape

  • One standard tweet under 280 characters, with room for one URL.
  • Typical format:
    • product + version
    • blank line
    • 3-4 compact emoji-led feature bullets
    • blank line
    • one short punchline
    • release/changelog URL
  • Use emoji bullets by default for launch tweets. Pick clear, low-noise emoji that match the feature or product; skip only when the user asks for plain text or the release is incident-style.
  • Tone: high-signal, compact, confident, a little dry when earned. Not corporate.
  • One joke max. Let the feature bullets do the work.
  • Put the release/changelog URL at the end.
  • Count final raw characters before presenting it as ready to post.

Beta, Hotfix, Correction

  • Beta/prerelease:
    • make beta status explicit
    • avoid implying stable promotion
    • phrase as "beta N", VERSION-beta.N, or "preview" as appropriate
  • Hotfix/correction:
    • be direct and accountable
    • state what slipped, what is fixed, and the new version
    • skip jokes unless the user asks for a lighter tone

Threads

  • First agree on the generic launch tweet.
  • Then write follow-ups one at a time. When the user says next, provide only the next reply.
  • Each follow-up should focus on one feature or user workflow.
  • Include a docs/release URL for the specific feature when available.
  • Avoid repeating the version in every reply when the thread context already has it.
  • Good follow-up length: 160-220 raw characters. Hard cap: 280.

Posting And Clipboard

  • Draft by default. Do not post to X/Twitter unless the user explicitly asks.
  • If asked to copy, use pbcopy on macOS and report that it is copied.
  • If asked to post from Peter's setup, prefer the local bird/xurl workflow if available, then verify the posted URL.
  • Never invent media. If the user wants media, use an existing release screenshot/asset or ask for/generate one separately.

Quality Pass

Before final:

  • Character count under 280 for each tweet.
  • Exact version string and channel.
  • Release URL included when requested or expected.
  • No unverified claims.
  • No more than 3-4 emoji-led bullets in the launch tweet.
  • Peter-style concise language; trim filler before trimming facts.
