What it does

Release is an agent skill from Sunshow/droidgear. Generate changelog from commits since last tag and release new version. Use when user wants to release a new version or update changelog.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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 licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to release a new version
  • Update changelog

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the latest tag
  2. Get commits since last tag
  3. Calculate next version based on latest tag
  4. Show suggested version to user, allow modification before proceeding
  5. Categorize commits by type
  6. Update CHANGELOG.md (insert new version entry after # Changelog heading)
  7. (Conditional) If this release includes significant new features or major changes, update the feature descriptions in both README files
  8. Commit changelog changes (required before release:prepare)
  9. Run release workflow
  10. Execute git commands to complete release

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b15760b. 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:

    • git
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, 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 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 660 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 272 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~660

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 New Version

Instructions

  1. Get the latest tag:

    bash
    git tag --list --sort=-version:refname | head -1

  2. Get commits since last tag:

    bash
    git log <latest-tag>..HEAD --oneline

  3. Calculate next version based on latest tag:

    • Parse current version vX.Y.Z from step 1
    • Default: increment patch (Z+1), e.g. v0.3.2 → v0.3.3
    • Minor: increment minor, reset patch (Y+1, Z=0), e.g. v0.3.2 → v0.4.0
    • Major: increment major, reset others (X+1, Y=0, Z=0), e.g. v0.3.2 → v1.0.0

  4. Show suggested version to user, allow modification before proceeding

  5. Categorize commits by type:

    • feat: → New Features / 新功能
    • fix: → Bug Fixes / 问题修复

  6. Update CHANGELOG.md (insert new version entry after # Changelog heading):

    • Use bilingual format (English / 中文) for each item
    • Format: ## vX.Y.Z followed by **New Features / 新功能** and **Bug Fixes / 问题修复** sections
    • Each item format: - English description / 中文描述
    • Translation terminology: "Channel" must be translated as "渠道" (NOT "频道")
    • This file is used by GitHub Actions to generate release notes for auto-updater

  7. (Conditional) If this release includes significant new features or major changes, update the feature descriptions in both README files:

    • README.md — Update relevant feature sections in Chinese
    • README_EN.md — Update relevant feature sections in English
    • Only update feature/capability descriptions, NOT the changelog section (both READMEs already link to CHANGELOG.md for full changelog)

  8. Commit changelog changes (required before release:prepare):

    bash
    # If README files were updated:
git add CHANGELOG.md README.md README_EN.md
# Otherwise:
git add CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "docs: update changelog for <version>"

  9. Run release workflow:

    bash
    npm run release:prepare <version>

  10. Execute git commands to complete release:

    bash
    git add .
git commit -m "chore: release <version>"
git tag <version>
git push origin main --tags

Verification

  • Confirm CHANGELOG.md is updated with English changelog (used for auto-updater)
  • Confirm changelog entries are correctly formatted
  • Confirm version number follows vX.Y.Z pattern
  • Confirm both README files are updated if significant features were added
  • Confirm changelog is committed before running release:prepare
  • Confirm git push completes successfully
