What it does

Release is an agent skill from trasta298/keifu. Create a new release with tag, GitHub release, and homebrew-tap update

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. It works with Homebrew, GitHub, Rust and Git. The repository describes itself as: Git genealogy, untangled. A TUI for navigating commit graphs with color and clarity. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze Changes and Determine Recommended Version
  2. Ask User for Version Bump Type
  3. Update Version and Create Release
  4. Wait for GitHub Actions Release Workflow
  5. Update Homebrew Tap
  6. Report Success

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4d9f033. 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
    • gh
    • cargo
    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, gh and curl, 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 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 401 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Create a new release with tag, GitHub release, and homebrew-tap update

Release Skill

This skill creates a new release by:

  1. Bumping the version in Cargo.toml
  2. Creating a git commit and tag
  3. Pushing to trigger GitHub Actions release workflow
  4. Waiting for the release to complete
  5. Updating the homebrew-tap formula

Instructions

First, get the current version from Cargo.toml and analyze changes since the last release:

bash
# Get current version
grep '^version' Cargo.toml | head -1 | sed 's/.*"\(.*\)".*/\1/'

# Get the latest tag
git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "No tags found"

# Get commits since last tag (or all commits if no tag)
LAST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$LAST_TAG" ]; then
  git log --oneline "$LAST_TAG"..HEAD
else
  git log --oneline
fi

Determine the recommended version bump based on conventional commits:

  • major: Breaking changes (commits with BREAKING CHANGE or !: in message)
  • minor: New features (commits starting with feat: or similar)
  • patch: Bug fixes, documentation, refactoring, etc. (commits starting with fix:, docs:, refactor:, chore:, etc.)
Step 2: Ask User for Version Bump Type

Use the AskUserQuestion tool to ask the user which version bump to apply. Put the recommended option first based on the analysis above.

Question format:

  • Header: "Version"
  • Question: "Which version bump do you want to apply? Current version: X.Y.Z"
  • Options should be ordered with recommended first, e.g., if patch is recommended:
    1. "patch (Recommended)" -> "X.Y.Z+1 - Bug fixes and minor changes"
    2. "minor" -> "X.Y+1.0 - New features"
    3. "major" -> "X+1.0.0 - Breaking changes"
Step 3: Update Version and Create Release

After user confirms the version bump:

  1. Update Cargo.toml version:

    • Calculate the new version based on user selection
    • Edit the version line in Cargo.toml
  2. Update Cargo.lock:

    bash
    cargo update -p keifu
  3. Commit the version bump:

    bash
    git add Cargo.toml Cargo.lock
    git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
    Bump version to NEW_VERSION
    
    Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
    EOF
    )"
  4. Create and push the tag:

    bash
    git tag vNEW_VERSION
    git push origin main --tags
Step 4: Wait for GitHub Actions Release Workflow

The release workflow is triggered by the tag push. Wait for it to complete:

bash
# Wait for the workflow to start and complete
gh run list --workflow=release.yaml --limit=1 --json databaseId,status,conclusion

# Watch the workflow progress
gh run watch $(gh run list --workflow=release.yaml --limit=1 --json databaseId --jq '.[0].databaseId')

If the workflow fails, inform the user and stop. Do not proceed with homebrew-tap update.

Step 5: Update Homebrew Tap

After the release workflow completes successfully:

  1. Create a temporary directory and clone homebrew-tap:

    bash
    TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
    git clone git@github.com:trasta298/homebrew-tap.git "$TEMP_DIR"
  2. Download release assets and calculate SHA256:

    bash
    NEW_VERSION="X.Y.Z"  # The new version without 'v' prefix
    TAG="vX.Y.Z"  # The tag with 'v' prefix
    
    # Get SHA256 for each platform
    TARGETS=(
      "aarch64-apple-darwin"
      "x86_64-apple-darwin"
      "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"
      "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
    )
    
    for TARGET in "${TARGETS[@]}"; do
      URL="https://github.com/trasta298/keifu/releases/download/$TAG/keifu-$TAG-$TARGET.tar.gz"
      SHA=$(curl -sL "$URL" | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1)
      echo "$TARGET: $SHA"
    done
  3. Update the formula file ($TEMP_DIR/Formula/keifu.rb):

    • Update the version line
    • Update all URLs to use the new tag
    • Update all sha256 values with the calculated hashes
  4. Commit and push the changes:

    bash
    cd "$TEMP_DIR"
    git add Formula/keifu.rb
    git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
    Update keifu to NEW_VERSION
    
    Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
    EOF
    )"
    git push origin main
  5. Clean up the temporary directory:

    bash
    rm -rf "$TEMP_DIR"
Step 6: Report Success

Inform the user that the release is complete with:

  • The new version number
  • Link to the GitHub release
  • Confirmation that homebrew-tap was updated

Error Handling

  • If there are uncommitted changes, warn the user and ask if they want to proceed
  • If the GitHub Actions workflow fails, stop and report the error
  • If homebrew-tap update fails, report the error but note that the main release was successful
