What it does

Release is an agent skill from TypedDevs/bashunit. Run pre-release validation and execute the release process

Its SKILL.md is about 620 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 Deployment. It works with Bash and npm. The repository describes itself as: A simple yet powerfull testing library for bash scripts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-flight
  2. Pick the version
  3. Preview, then publish
  4. Verify the published artifacts

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:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git
    • make

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, 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 618 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~618

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: Bash, Read, 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.

Release

Thin reminder around ./release.sh. The release script owns the whole end-to-end flow (version bumps, build, checksum, CHANGELOG, commit, signed tags, push, GitHub release, latest branch). Don't reimplement those steps here — fix release.sh if something is missing.

Current State

  • Current version: !grep -o 'BASHUNIT_VERSION="[^"]*"' bashunit | cut -d'"' -f2
  • Branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Working tree: !git status --short
  • Unreleased changes: !awk '/^## Unreleased$/,/^## \[/' CHANGELOG.md | head -30

Steps

1. Pre-flight
bash
./bashunit tests/                 # all green
make sa && make lint              # static analysis + editorconfig
gh run list --limit 3 --branch main

Stop and report if anything fails. Don't release on a red main.

2. Pick the version

$ARGUMENTS overrides; otherwise the script auto-increments the minor. Bump by the Unreleased section: a ### Added/feat → minor, only ### Fixed → patch. Confirm the version with the user before publishing.

3. Preview, then publish
bash
./release.sh <version> --dry-run   # preview; changes nothing
./release.sh <version> --force     # publish (non-interactive)

Notes:

  • --dry-run release notes look "off" (they show the previous version's section) because the CHANGELOG isn't actually rewritten in a dry run. The real run converts ## Unreleased → ## [<version>] first, so the published notes are correct. Not a bug.
  • Tagging is gpgsign-safe: release::create_tags makes annotated, -m tags (signed when tag.gpgsign=true) and pins v0 to the release commit (^{}). No manual tagging needed.
  • npm publishes automatically via .github/workflows/npm-publish.yml on the GitHub release: published event.
4. Verify the published artifacts
bash
gh release view <version>                       # assets: bin/bashunit + bin/checksum
gh run list --workflow npm-publish.yml --limit 1
git log --oneline -1 origin/latest             # latest branch advanced (docs deploy)

Confirm the npm version and the install.sh checksum match, then report the release URL.

Recovery

./release.sh --rollback restores files from the most recent backup if a run fails mid-way.
