What it does

Git Release is an agent skill from wesammustafa/opencode-primer. Draft release notes from merged PRs, propose a semver bump, and emit a copy-pasteable gh release create command. Use when preparing a tagged GitHub release.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: opencode

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Git, GitHub and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Master OpenCode, the open-source AI coding agent — setup, agents, skills, plugins, MCP, Zen & headless CI. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing a tagged GitHub release
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/git-release”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read recent merged PRs since the last tag and group them
  2. Propose a semver bump based on the diff
  3. Emit a clean release-notes draft in Keep-a-Changelog format.
  4. Print a ready-to-run command

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fe71432. 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

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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.

  • Compatibility

    opencode

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Git Release loads about 409 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 187 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~409

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.

What I do

  1. Read recent merged PRs since the last tag and group them:
    • Features (feat: commits)
    • Fixes (fix:)
    • Other (refactor:, perf:, docs:, chore:, …)
  2. Propose a semver bump based on the diff:
    • Major if any breaking changes (look for BREAKING CHANGE: footers or !: markers)
    • Minor if any features
    • Patch otherwise
  3. Emit a clean release-notes draft in Keep-a-Changelog format.
  4. Print a ready-to-run command:
bash
gh release create v<version> --title "<title>" --notes-file release-notes.md

When to use me

When the user is preparing a tagged release. Triggers include:

  • "draft release notes"
  • "prepare a release"
  • "what's in v1.X.Y?"

Ask the user to confirm the proposed version bump before running anything destructive (tag creation, release publish).

What I need from the repo

  • gh CLI must be authenticated.
  • The repo should have at least one prior tag — if not, propose v0.1.0.
  • Conventional-commit messages are ideal but not required; without them, I'll group by PR labels or fall back to plain summaries.

What I won't do

  • Push tags or publish releases without explicit confirmation.
  • Edit the working tree.
  • Generate fictional changelog entries — if a PR is unclear, I quote the original PR title verbatim and flag it for review.
