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

    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 nickcrew/claude-ctx-plugin at bb47af79ad.

    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 assists in preparing software releases, automating tasks like version bumping, changelog generation, and creating release notes. It streamlines the process of moving code from development to production environments by handling repetitive steps. The goal is to reduce errors and accelerate the overall release cycle.

When to use it

  • You need to automate version updates across multiple files (e.g., package.json, __version__).
  • Generating a changelog entry based on commit messages requires standardization.
  • Creating initial draft release notes from existing documentation and commit summaries is time-consuming.
  • Ensuring consistent formatting and structure for your release process.

Key capabilities

  • Version bumping (semantic versioning)
  • Changelog generation
  • Release note drafting

Example prompts

  • "Prepare a new release, incrementing the version to 1.2.3 and generating a changelog entry."
  • "Create draft release notes for version 2.0.0 based on the commit history."
  • "Bump the version in all relevant files and update the project's __version__ file."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to your codebase or configuration files to perform actions like version bumping. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to modify these files for accurate results.
