What it does

Source Command Release is an agent skill from utensils/nxv. Review and merge the release-plz release PR with explicit user confirmation

Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 Rust and SQLite. The repository describes itself as: Find any version of any Nix package, instantly. Fast CLI + HTTP API + web UI over 9+ years of indexed nixpkgs history — get the exact commit for nix shell nixpkgs/<commitpkg. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/source-command-release”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Locate the release PR
  2. Review what will ship
  3. Pre-flight
  4. Confirm and merge
  5. Monitor

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82413f0. 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:

    • gh
    • git

    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

Source Command Release loads about 731 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~731

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.

source-command-release

Use this skill when the user asks to run the migrated source command release.

Command Template

Release

Releases are driven by release-plz (release-plz.toml + .github/workflows/release-plz.yml). On every push to main it maintains a chore: release vX.Y.Z PR with the version bump and CHANGELOG update derived from conventional commits. Merging that PR ships the release — release-plz pushes the vX.Y.Z tag, which triggers release.yml (static binaries, GitHub release, crates.io, Docker) and flakehub-publish-tagged.yml.

This command walks that flow safely. Never merge the release PR without explicit user confirmation — it is an outward-facing, hard-to-reverse action.

Phase 1: Locate the release PR

bash
gh pr list --repo utensils/nxv --search "chore: release in:title" --state open

If none exists, check whether main has unreleased conventional commits since the last tag (git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..origin/main --oneline). If there are releasable commits but no PR, check the latest Release-plz workflow run for errors (gh run list --workflow release-plz.yml).

Phase 2: Review what will ship

  1. Show the PR's version bump (Cargo.toml diff) and CHANGELOG addition.
  2. Verify the version follows the project convention: feat: commits bump the 0.x minor (features_always_increment_minor = true), fixes bump patch.
  3. If the version or changelog is wrong, edit the release PR directly (it is a normal editable PR) — release-plz preserves manual edits unless new commits land on main.

Phase 3: Pre-flight

  1. All CI checks on the release PR must be green. If checks show "Expected / Waiting", the App token is misconfigured — see release-plz.yml comments.
  2. Confirm no other PR is about to land that should be in this release.

Phase 4: Confirm and merge

Present a summary (version, commit list, changelog) and require the user to confirm with the explicit version number (AskUserQuestion). Then:

bash
gh pr merge <PR> --repo utensils/nxv --squash

Phase 5: Monitor

  1. The Release-plz workflow on main pushes the tag.
  2. The Release workflow builds binaries and publishes — monitor with gh run list --workflow release.yml / gh run watch.
  3. Verify the GitHub release has all four binaries + SHA256SUMS.txt, crates.io has the new version, and ghcr.io has the version tag.

Manual escape hatches

  • Tagging failed after the release PR merged: re-run the Release-plz workflow on main (it is idempotent — existing tags are the gate).
  • The old fully-manual flow (bump Cargo.toml, edit CHANGELOG, tag by hand) still works in emergencies but must match release-plz's expectations (tag vX.Y.Z, CHANGELOG section ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD).
