What it does

Prepare Invokta Release is an agent skill from vinilana/invokta. Prepare Invokta versioned releases on dedicated release branches with synchronized package metadata, changelog and validation evidence, complete repository gates, and one cohesive commit. Use when asked to prepare, cut, stage, or validate an Invokta release or release candidate.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A TypeScript framework for reusable domain AI capabilities across direct, CLI, and MCP transports. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to prepare
  • Validate an Invokta release
  • Release candidate

Example prompts

  • “/prepare-invokta-release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read .agents/skills/invokta-delivery/SKILL.md, docs/README.md, the
  2. Inspect the working tree, current branch, local and remote mainline refs,
  3. Select the next semantic version from the compatibility of the Unreleased
  4. Confirm the intended mainline base. If local main and origin/main
  5. Create or switch to chore/release-X.Y.Z from the confirmed mainline before

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f1e2f04. 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:

    • yarn
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use yarn 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

Prepare Invokta Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 543 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Prepare an Invokta Release

Establish the release branch

  1. Read .agents/skills/invokta-delivery/SKILL.md, docs/README.md, the release gates in docs/implementation-plan-and-acceptance-criteria.md, and the ADRs represented by the unreleased changes.
  2. Inspect the working tree, current branch, local and remote mainline refs, recent tags, CHANGELOG.md, and commits since the latest release. Preserve unrelated changes and stop if they make the release slice ambiguous.
  3. Select the next semantic version from the compatibility of the Unreleased changes and the repository's prior release policy. Request a decision when the correct increment is ambiguous.
  4. Confirm the intended mainline base. If local main and origin/main diverge, resolve the base explicitly before continuing.
  5. Create or switch to chore/release-X.Y.Z from the confirmed mainline before editing any release file. Never prepare or commit a release on main.

Synchronize release metadata

  1. Bump the root version and every public package version to X.Y.Z.
  2. Bump every exact internal @invokta/* dependency pin in public packages and examples. Update version assertions and protocol client self-identification constants that intentionally track the release.
  3. Search the repository for the previous version. Classify every match as current release metadata, historical release documentation, or an unrelated dependency before changing it.
  4. Synchronize committed example lockfiles. For unpublished Invokta packages, derive integrity values from the exact locally packed X.Y.Z artifacts; never retain old integrity hashes or invent new ones. Recheck the hashes if package contents change afterward.
  5. Move the Unreleased notes under ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD, update the Unreleased comparison base, and add the release link. Preserve historical entries and write all release content in English.
  6. Refresh docs/validation-record.md only with evidence produced during this release run, including the review date, accepted ADRs, test totals, coverage, and audit count.

Do not change a public contract merely to prepare the release. If preparation reveals a missing or conflicting contract, stop and apply $invokta-contract-review before continuing.

Run the release gates

Run the canonical commands from a clean dependency state:

sh
yarn install --frozen-lockfile --non-interactive
yarn run check
yarn audit
cd apps/docs
yarn install --frozen-lockfile --non-interactive
yarn validate

Return to the repository root and then:

  1. Update the validation record with the exact results and stage only the cohesive release slice.
  2. Inspect git diff --cached, run git diff --cached --check, and confirm all package versions and internal pins equal X.Y.Z.
  3. Run yarn release:verify. This verifier archives the Git index, so release files must be staged first; unstaged changes are intentionally excluded.
  4. If a packed consumer tries to resolve @invokta/*@X.Y.Z from the registry, treat that as a pre-publish verifier defect. Record the failing command as RED, install the complete matching local tarball dependency closure in the fixture, and rerun the verifier for GREEN.
  5. Rerun yarn run check after any executable verifier change. Reinspect the staged diff and confirm the working tree has no unstaged release changes.

Do not claim readiness while any typecheck, lint, formatting, test, coverage, build, audit, documentation, package, or diff gate fails.

Commit and hand off

  1. Create one commit named chore(release): prepare X.Y.Z on the release branch.
  2. Confirm main still points to the confirmed mainline, the release branch contains the commit, and the working tree is clean.
  3. Report the version, branch, commit hash, RED/GREEN evidence or metadata-only exception, validation results, risks, and pending work.
  4. Do not tag, push, publish packages, or create a pull request unless the user explicitly requests that separate action.
