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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill automates GitHub release management tasks. It can create, edit, and delete releases based on provided information like tag names, release notes, and asset files. The agent can also be used to draft release notes or automatically generate them from commit messages.
When to use it
- You need to regularly publish software releases to a GitHub repository.
- You want to automate the creation of release notes based on project commit history.
- You're managing multiple repositories and require consistent release processes across them.
- You need to update existing releases with new assets or modified release notes.
Key capabilities
- Create GitHub Releases
- Edit Existing GitHub Releases
- Delete GitHub Releases
- Generate Release Notes from Commit Messages (drafting)
Example prompts
- "Create a GitHub release for tag v1.2.3 with the following release notes: 'Fixes bug #123 and improves performance.'"
- "Edit the existing release tagged as v1.0.0 to add the file
docs/release_notes.mdas an asset." - “Draft a release note for tag v2.0, summarizing changes from the last release.”
Tips & gotchas
- Requires appropriate GitHub authentication and permissions to manage releases in the target repository.
- The agent's ability to generate release notes depends on the quality and structure of your commit messages.
