What it does

Pre Release is an agent skill from ZhuoZhuoCrayon/throttled-py. Automates release preparation for throttled-py. Triggers when user message contains: - "release vX.Y.Z" with a GitHub release draft URL - "release vX.Y.Z" followed by changelog content Tasks: update version numbers, sync CHANGELOGEN.rst and CHANGELOG.rst, run dependency sync.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes, Rate limiting and Translation. It works with GitHub, Redis and Python. The repository describes itself as: 🔧 High-performance Python rate limiting library with multiple algorithms (Fixed Window, Sliding Window, Token Bucket, Leaky Bucket & GCRA) and storage backends (Redis, In-Memory). The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8626d3b. 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:
- uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, 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

Pre Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 267 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~72
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.

flowchart TD
    A[Parse Input] --> B[Get Release Changelog]

Step 1: Parse Input

Extract from user input:

Version: vX.Y.Z → X.Y.Z
Release Date: Use today's date (YYYY-MM-DD)
Changelog: From URL or directly provided content

Step 2: Get Release Changelog

If URL provided: Fetch content from the release draft URL
If content provided: Use the changelog content directly
If neither accessible: Ask user to provide the content

Step 3: Update Version Numbers

Update version string in these files:

File	Location
`pyproject.toml`	`version = "X.Y.Z"`
`throttled/__init__.py`	`__version__ = "X.Y.Z"`
`throttled/asyncio/__init__.py`	`__version__ = "X.Y.Z"`

Step 4: Update CHANGELOG_EN.rst

Insert new entry after the title section:

rst

vX.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD
---------------------

`简体中文 (vX.Y.Z) <{GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst#vxyz---YYYY-MM-DD>`_ | English

**{emoji} {category_title}**

- {change_entries}

**Full Changelog**: {GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/compare/vPREV...vX.Y.Z

Step 5: Translate & Update CHANGELOG.rst

Insert translated entry after the title section:

rst

vX.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD
---------------------

`English Documents Available (vX.Y.Z) <{GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/blob/main/CHANGELOG_EN.rst#vxyz---YYYY-MM-DD>`_ | 简体中文

Step 6: Sync Dependencies

Run the following command to update uv.lock:

bash

uv lock

This ensures uv.lock reflects the updated version in pyproject.toml.

Step 7: Verification

Version numbers consistent across all 3 files
uv.lock updated successfully
Cross-references between EN/ZH changelogs are correct
RST anchor format: #vxyz---YYYY-MM-DD (no dots, lowercase)
All categories from release draft included
Only include sections that have content
CRITICAL At the beginning of the verification summary, include:

✓ Conducted skill defined in .agents/skills/pre-release/SKILL.md.
