What it does

Release is an agent skill from XGHeaven/homebox. Prepare, verify, and publish Homebox releases through the repository's tag-driven GitHub Actions workflow. Use whenever the user says “发版”, “发布版本”, “release”, “打 tag”, “推 tag”, or invokes /release or $release, including dry-run requests. Always present and obtain explicit confirmation of the version, target commit, changelog, validation plan, and remote publishing effects before changing version files, creating a tag, or pushing anything.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 and CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: A Toolbox for Home Local Networks.

When your agent uses it

Requirements

Workflow steps

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

Inspect the release candidate
Draft the changelog
Require explicit confirmation
Prepare and validate after confirmation
Tag and publish
Verify completion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0988b07. 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:
- git
- make
- gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and 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.

Context cost

Release loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 684 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 684 words (~1,389 tokens).

“Treat a bare “发版” or /release as a request to prepare a release proposal, not as permission to publish. Keep all work read-only until the confirmation gate passes.”
