Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned 30 Sept 2026

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

Declares what it does: failed
No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned pjt222/development-guides at bcca822c1c.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill automates the creation of GitHub releases. It allows you to specify a tag, release title, and body for the release, automatically generating a new release on your specified repository. This simplifies software distribution workflows and reduces manual effort.

When to use it

After merging a feature branch into main and preparing a new version.
When deploying a new build of an application to GitHub.
To automate the tagging and release process for open-source projects.
For internal tools or libraries where consistent releases are needed.

Key capabilities

Creates GitHub Releases
Specifies Release Tag
Sets Release Title
Adds a Release Body/Description

Example prompts

"Create a GitHub release tagged 'v1.2.3' with the title 'Version 1.2.3' and body 'Bug fixes and performance improvements.'"
"Generate a new release for repository my-org/my-repo using tag stable-release-1.0."
“Make a GitHub release called ‘Beta 2’ with the tag ‘beta-2’ and include details about new features.”

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions (write access) to the target GitHub repository. Without this, releases cannot be created.
