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

    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 groupzer0/vs-code-agents at c28eb5fe2c.

    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 and streamlines software release procedures. It can generate release notes, update version numbers in configuration files, and execute deployment scripts based on predefined workflows. The agent ensures consistency and reduces errors during the release process by following established protocols.

When to use it

  • Automating a new feature release: Quickly prepare and deploy a new feature with minimal manual intervention.
  • Performing a hotfix for a critical bug: Expedite the deployment of a fix to address an urgent production issue.
  • Preparing for a major version upgrade: Manage the complexities of updating dependencies and configuration across multiple environments.
  • Ensuring consistent release processes across teams: Standardize releases by automating repetitive tasks and enforcing defined procedures.

Key capabilities

  • Release note generation
  • Version number updates in config files
  • Deployment script execution
  • Workflow automation

Example prompts

  • "Prepare a v1.2.3 release for the 'frontend' service."
  • "Generate release notes for the latest bug fix, focusing on security improvements."
  • "Run the deployment scripts for staging environment after updating version number to 2.0.0."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires a properly configured CI/CD pipeline and access to relevant repositories and deployment environments. Ensure that all necessary credentials are provided securely to avoid errors during execution.
