What it does
Release is an agent skill from WebMCP-org/npm-packages. Release the @mcp-b monorepo with Changesets and pnpm, using npm trusted publishing in GitHub Actions. Covers stable releases, snapshots, prerelease trains, metadata checks, and MCPB artifacts.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/publishing.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Monorepo tooling, CI/CD and MCP servers. It works with npm, pnpm, Model Context Protocol and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: NPM packages for MCP-B: Transport layers, React hooks, and browser tools for the Model Context Protocol. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
1Validate the changes
2Run pnpm changeset. Select only packages with actual changes and describe the
3Commit the changeset with the implementation and submit the PR.
4After merge, CI creates or updates chore(release): version packages.
5Review that PR's versions, changelogs, relay manifest and global CDN test pin.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f32a72. 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:
pnpm
npm
gh
changeset
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.github.com
docs.npmjs.com
pnpm.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
NPM_TOKEN
GITHUB_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Release loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 769 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references· SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k
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.

description
Release the @mcp-b monorepo with Changesets and pnpm, using npm trusted publishing in GitHub Actions. Covers stable releases, snapshots, prerelease trains, metadata checks, and MCPB artifacts.
Release @mcp-b packages
Use the existing Release workflow.
CI publishes from main using npm OIDC, not an NPM_TOKEN secret.
Do not publish, dispatch, push, or change remote settings without authorization.
Run pnpm changeset. Select only packages with actual changes and describe the
consumer-facing effect. Separate summaries when packages need different release notes.
Commit the changeset with the implementation and submit the PR.
After merge, CI creates or updates chore(release): version packages.
Review that PR's versions, changelogs, relay manifest and global CDN test pin.
Merging it lets CI publish the release.
The version PR uses GITHUB_TOKEN. GitHub can hold workflows from bot-created or updated
PRs for approval: a maintainer with write access selects Approve workflows to run in
the PR merge box, then waits for all required checks. Do not bypass checks or add a PAT to
work around an approval prompt. See GitHub's workflow trigger rules.
Never hand-edit package versions or use pnpm version: this bypasses changelogs and
fixed-group coordination. All 12 published packages belong to one Changesets fixed group;
private workspace apps and examples are not released.
pnpm changeset:version applies versions and synchronizes checked-in metadata through
scripts/release-metadata.mjs --write. Normally the workflow runs it. Use it locally only
when preparing an explicitly requested version commit.
ci:publish validates metadata, publishes unpublished package versions in dependency order,
then runs changeset tag. The pinned Changesets action reads those new-tag messages to
create GitHub releases and trigger SBOM, MCPB and signing steps. Keep the tag command after
a successful publish; plain pnpm publish does not emit Changesets release events.
npm trusted publishing
Each public package must configure the same trusted publisher on npm:
Organization: WebMCP-org
Repository: npm-packages
Workflow filename: changesets.yml
Environment: npm-publish
Allowed action: npm publish
The workflow uses GitHub-hosted runners and job-level id-token: write. Node 24 and the
pinned npm CLI meet npm's OIDC requirements. pnpm packs the workspace, resolving workspace:
and catalog: protocols, then delegates publication to npm. Keep the npm CLI setup.
Provenance is enabled; no long-lived npm publish token is needed.
Configure npm-publish environment reviewers and restrict deployment branches to main
in GitHub settings. Naming an environment in YAML does not configure these protections.
Verify OIDC publishing works before disabling legacy token access in npm settings.
The workflow's canonical-repository and branch checks are additional safeguards.
For one temporary build from main, dispatch only when requested:
bash
gh workflow run "Release" --ref main -f tag=beta
This publishes <next>-beta.<datetime> under beta, without committing temporary versions
or consuming the changesets on main. Dispatch before merging the version PR: snapshots
need pending changesets. The workflow rejects an empty release, latest, unsafe tag text,
and existing pre-mode state. It publishes only snapshot packages and signs the registry
artifact in each prerelease GitHub release.
A snapshot is independent of the accumulating prerelease flow below. Never restore an
entire working tree with git checkout . to discard snapshot versions. Prefer the workflow;
if a local snapshot is explicitly needed, prepare it in a disposable clean checkout.

Accumulating prereleases
bash
pnpm changeset pre enter beta
Commit .changeset/pre.json. Normal version PRs now produce X.Y.Z-beta.0, then
beta.1, and so on. scripts/npm-dist-tag.mjs selects the active prerelease tag for
ci:publish and publish:all; invalid state must stop publication rather than defaulting
to latest.
To graduate, run pnpm changeset pre exit and commit the change. The next version PR
removes the prerelease suffix and publishes to latest.
Local publishing and recovery
Use local publishing only when explicitly requested. Authenticate with npm login through
the user's approved interactive flow; do not read, print, or shell-evaluate .env files.
Then use pnpm publish:all, which builds, checks release metadata, and selects the dist-tag.
Do not publish a source directory with npm: it cannot resolve pnpm dependency protocols.
Publication is not atomic across packages. pnpm skips versions already on npm, so rerun the
same release after fixing the cause of a partial publish. Never overwrite or silently bump
an already published version. If npm publishing succeeded but a later GitHub artifact step
failed, recover those missing artifacts explicitly: existing tags can make Changesets
report no new publication on a rerun. A rerun of snapshot versioning creates a new timestamp.
If only signing failed after stable GitHub releases were created, recover signatures with:
bash
gh workflow run "Release" --ref main -f recover_signatures_version=5.0.3
Use the affected stable version. This checks out its usewebmcp@<version> tag, validates
every public package's version, tag commit and existing release, then signs source archives
with Sigstore bundles. It never publishes npm packages or replaces SBOM/MCPB/R2 artifacts.
Verify exact versions (npm view <name>@<version> version) and dist-tags, including unscoped
usewebmcp and nested @mcp-b/smart-dom-reader-server. Do not use the default npm view
version as a prerelease check: it reads latest.

Can I use Release in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add WebMCP-org/npm-packages --skill release -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/release, .gemini/skills/release, .github/skills/release and .opencode/skills/release in your project.
What does Release need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Release needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pnpm, npm, gh, changeset and git) and credentials named NPM_TOKEN and GITHUB_TOKEN. Our summary lists: A credential in NPM_TOKEN; A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN.
Does Release access the network?
SKILL.md names 3 domains. As links in the text: docs.github.com, docs.npmjs.com and pnpm.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Release safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Release use?
Release is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Release use?
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 605 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
