What it does

Pre Release is an agent skill from TypedDevs/bashunit. Run comprehensive pre-release validation checklist

Its SKILL.md is about 490 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 Testing & QA. It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: A simple yet powerfull testing library for bash scripts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing & QA work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/pre-release”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

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

  1. Version Consistency
  2. Full Test Suite
  3. Static Analysis & Formatting
  4. Documentation
  5. Bash 3.0+ Compatibility
  6. Cross-Platform (if Docker available)
  7. Security Scan
  8. Breaking Changes
  9. Git & CI Status
  10. Smoke Test

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f297fb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make
    • git
    • gh

    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 gh, 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

Pre Release loads about 488 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 133 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~488

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Grep, Glob

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.

Pre-Release Validation

Run all checks before releasing a new bashunit version.

Checklist

1. Version Consistency

Verify version matches across: package.json, CHANGELOG.md, src/bashunit.sh

2. Full Test Suite
bash
./bashunit tests/unit/
./bashunit tests/functional/
./bashunit tests/acceptance/
./bashunit tests/
./bashunit --parallel tests/

All must pass. Run 3-5 times to catch flaky tests.

3. Static Analysis & Formatting
bash
make sa           # ShellCheck — zero warnings
make lint         # EditorConfig — clean
# NB: no shfmt gate — it conflicts with .editorconfig here; make lint is the authority
4. Documentation
  • CHANGELOG.md — version section complete with all changes
  • README.md — examples current, no broken links
  • No remaining TODOs/FIXMEs in docs
5. Bash 3.0+ Compatibility
bash
grep -rn '\[\[' src/            # Should not use [[
grep -rn 'declare -A' src/      # No associative arrays
grep -rn '\${.*,,}' src/        # No case conversion
6. Cross-Platform (if Docker available)
bash
make docker/alpine
make docker/ubuntu
7. Security Scan

No hardcoded secrets, no unsafe eval, input validation present.

8. Breaking Changes

Review git log since last release. Breaking changes must be documented with migration guide.

9. Git & CI Status
  • Working directory clean
  • All CI checks passing: gh run list --limit 5
10. Smoke Test
bash
./bashunit --help
./bashunit --version
echo 'function test_smoke() { assert_equals "1" "1"; }' > /tmp/smoke_test.sh
./bashunit /tmp/smoke_test.sh
rm /tmp/smoke_test.sh

Output

Report each check as pass/fail/warning. Only proceed to release when ALL checks pass.

After Validation

bash
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z"
git push origin vX.Y.Z
