What it does

Release is an agent skill from yoshiko-pg/difit. Execute the difit release workflow when the user says "リリース" or asks to cut a release. Update CHANGELOG Unreleased from commits since latest tag, ask for explicit OK confirmation in Japanese, then release by moving the confirmed Unreleased section verbatim as the exact source of truth.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A lightweight command-line tool that spins up a local web server to display Git commit diffs in a GitHub-like Files changed view. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to cut a release
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/release”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run ./scripts/get-changes-since-tag.sh.
  2. Categorize changes into these sections as needed: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security, Thanks.
  3. Use script output rules
  4. Write the categorized content into CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased].
  5. Ask for user confirmation in Japanese.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82a765c. 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
    • npm
    • 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, npm 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 688 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 325 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~688

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.

Release Workflow

Follow this workflow for the current repository.

Prepare changelog draft

  1. Run ./scripts/get-changes-since-tag.sh.
  2. Categorize changes into these sections as needed: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security, Thanks.
  3. Use script output rules:
    • Use GitHub username from script output.
    • Exclude yoshiko-pg and renovate[bot] from Thanks.
    • Include PR numbers when available.
    • Order bullets with PR numbers by ascending PR number within each section, and list multiple PR numbers within a bullet in ascending order.
    • Use commit subject and body for categorization.
    • Consolidate routine dependency-only updates, including grouped dependency updates, package manager bumps, and ordinary individual dependency bumps, into a single Changed bullet formatted as - Update dependencies (#123 #124 #125); keep a separate bullet only when the dependency change is clearly user-facing beyond routine maintenance.
  4. Write the categorized content into CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased].
  5. Ask for user confirmation in Japanese.

Release after explicit OK

  • The only allowed CHANGELOG.md edits after OK are:
    • insert the new version heading with today's date directly below ## [Unreleased]
    • place the captured Unreleased body under that new heading unchanged
    • leave ## [Unreleased] empty
    • update the bottom compare links for Unreleased and the new version
  1. Run npm version --no-git-tag-version patch.
  2. Move current Unreleased content into a new version section with today's date.
  3. Update bottom links:
    • Update Unreleased compare link to new version tag.
    • Add compare link for the new version.
  4. Commit CHANGELOG.md and package.json with an English message: chore: release vX.Y.Z.
  5. Create tag vX.Y.Z.
  6. Push main and tags: git push origin main --tags.
  7. If push is rejected by non-fast-forward:
    • Run git pull --rebase origin main.
    • Retry git push origin main --tags.
  8. Build release notes from the new version section text in CHANGELOG.md.
  9. Create GitHub release on origin:
    • gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes-file <notes-file>

Output to user

  • Respond in Japanese.
  • Report updated files, created tag, and GitHub release URL.
  • Mention if any recovery step was required (for example, rebase due to non-fast-forward).
