What it does
Release is an agent skill from straubt1/tfx. Prepare and cut TFx semver releases (CHANGELOG, validation, tagging via Taskfile). Use when the user asks to prepare a release, update CHANGELOG for a new version, cut vX.Y.Z, run release:patch/minor/major, or avoid post-merge release failures.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: TFx is a standalone CLI for HCP Terraform and Terraform Enterprise. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to prepare a release
- Update CHANGELOG for a new version
- Run release:patch/minor/major
- Avoid post-merge release failures
Example prompts
- “/release”
Requirements
- Docker
- A credential in HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f7494e5. 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:
gitgogh
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):
keepachangelog.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Release loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

TFx Release
Two-phase workflow: prepare on a branch (PR) → tag on main after merge. Never tag before the CHANGELOG PR is merged.
Phase 1 — Prepare (branch + PR)
1. Choose the version bump
| Bump | Task | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Patch — bugfixes only | task release:patch | v0.4.0 → v0.4.1 |
| Minor — new features | task release:minor | v0.3.3 → v0.4.0 |
| Major — breaking changes | task release:major | v0.4.0 → v1.0.0 |
Confirm the target version with the user when ambiguous.
2. Create a release branch
git checkout main && git pull
git checkout -b release/vX.Y.Z3. Update CHANGELOG.md
This repo uses Keep a Changelog with versioned unreleased sections:
## [vX.Y.Z] - UnreleasedIf an unreleased section already exists (e.g. [v0.3.4] - Unreleased but releasing v0.4.0): rename the heading to the target version and review bullets.
If no unreleased section exists, create one after the intro block. Gather changes since the latest tag:
git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --match "v[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*")..HEAD --onelineGroup bullets under Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed. Include PR numbers where available.
Fix compare links at the bottom of CHANGELOG.md:
[Unreleased]: https://github.com/straubt1/tfx/compare/vX.Y.Z...HEAD
[vX.Y.Z]: https://github.com/straubt1/tfx/compare/vPREVIOUS...vX.Y.ZReplace vPREVIOUS with the tag before this release.
Leave the date as Unreleased in the prep PR.
4. Validate before opening the PR
Run all checks — do not skip:
# CHANGELOG must contain the exact version string the release task will look for
grep "\[vX.Y.Z\]" CHANGELOG.md
go build ./...
go test ./...
# Simulates goreleaser build (no tag required); cask written to dist/
task release:dry-runGoreleaser v2 may emit 2 informational dockers_v2 warnings; these are harmless.
Do not edit version/version.go — goreleaser injects the version from the git tag at build time.
5. Open the PR
Stage only release-prep files (typically CHANGELOG.md; include the skill if updated):
git add CHANGELOG.md
git push -u origin HEAD
gh pr create --title "Prepare release vX.Y.Z" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
- Finalize CHANGELOG for vX.Y.Z
## Test plan
- [ ] `grep "\[vX.Y.Z\]" CHANGELOG.md` passes
- [ ] `go build ./...` and `go test ./...` pass
- [ ] `task release:dry-run` succeeds
## After merge
On `main`, run the matching release task: `task release:<patch|minor|major>`.

Show full SKILL.md (194 more words)Show less
Phase 2 — Cut the release (after PR merge)
Use the Taskfile release tasks only. Do not tag, push tags, or cut the release manually.
On up-to-date main:
git checkout main && git pull
task release:minor # pick the task that matches the bump chosen in Phase 1| Bump | Task |
|---|---|
| Patch | task release:patch |
| Minor | task release:minor |
| Major | task release:major |
Each task delegates to _release-bump, which:
- Computes the next semver from the latest
v*.*.*git tag - Warns if
CHANGELOG.mdlacks a[vNEXT_VERSION]entry - Prompts for confirmation, then tags and pushes
After the task completes, monitor GitHub Actions — the release workflow runs on tag push and publishes binaries, Docker (GHCR), Linux packages, and the Homebrew tap.
Requires HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN in repo secrets (classic PAT with repo scope on straubt1/homebrew-tap).
To test the pipeline locally before tagging: task release:dry-run.
Common post-merge failures
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
_release-bump warns about missing CHANGELOG | Heading uses wrong version (e.g. v0.3.4 but tagging v0.4.0) | Rename section to exact target: ## [v0.4.0] |
| Goreleaser fails in CI | Build/test issue on main | Fix on main, delete bad tag if created, re-tag |
| Homebrew tap not updated | Missing/expired HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN | Check repo secrets; re-run release workflow |
| Wrong version published | Used wrong bump task | Delete remote tag (with user approval), fix CHANGELOG, re-cut |
