Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill automates the creation of Git release tags based on semantic versioning. It parses commit messages to determine the appropriate tag (e.g., v1.2.3), and pushes the created tag to a remote repository. This ensures consistent and accurate tagging for software releases, streamlining the deployment process.
When to use it
- Automating release tag creation after a merge to the main branch.
- Generating tags based on specific commit message patterns (e.g., "Release: v1.0.0").
- Ensuring consistent semantic versioning across multiple projects and repositories.
- Reducing manual effort and potential errors in the tagging process.
Key capabilities
- Parses commit messages to extract version numbers.
- Creates Git tags using semantic versioning conventions.
- Pushes generated tags to remote repositories.
Example prompts
- "Create a release tag for the latest merge to main."
- "Generate a tag based on the last commit message."
- “Tag the current branch with the version number found in the most recent commit.”
Tips & gotchas
- Requires access to a Git repository and appropriate permissions.
- The skill relies on consistent commit message formatting for accurate version extraction.
