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

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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

    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 GitHub release management tasks. It can create, edit, and delete releases, as well as manage associated assets like binaries or documentation. The agent can also draft release notes based on commit messages.

When to use it

  • Automate the creation of new software releases after a merge to the main branch.
  • Update existing releases with additional assets or corrected release notes.
  • Draft initial release notes by summarizing recent commits.
  • Manage pre-release versions (e.g., beta, alpha) for testing purposes.

Key capabilities

  • Create new GitHub Releases
  • Edit existing GitHub Releases
  • Delete GitHub Releases
  • Manage Release Assets
  • Generate draft release notes from commit messages

Example prompts

  • "Create a new GitHub release named 'v1.2.3' for the repository 'my-org/my-project'."
  • "Add the file 'dist/my-app-linux-x64.tar.gz' as an asset to the latest release of 'my-org/my-project'."
  • “Draft release notes for the ‘v2.0’ release, summarizing commits since the last tag.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires appropriate GitHub API access tokens with write permissions to the target repository.
  • Release names must follow semantic versioning conventions (e.g., v1.0.0).
