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 antjanus/skillbox at 12e4ea2915.

    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 the process of setting up Semantic Release, a tool that manages software package versioning and release cycles. It handles determining the next semantic version number (major, minor, or patch) based on commit messages and automatically publishes packages to npm or other registries. This streamlines the release workflow, reducing manual effort and potential errors.

When to use it

  • Automating releases: When you want a hands-off approach to releasing new versions of your JavaScript projects.
  • Consistent versioning: To ensure that package versions are updated according to semantic versioning principles (SemVer).
  • Reducing release errors: Minimize human error in the release process by automating steps like version bumping and publishing.
  • CI/CD integration: Integrate with continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines for automated deployments.

Key capabilities

  • Automated version number generation based on commit messages.
  • Package publication to npm or other registries.
  • Semantic Versioning (SemVer) compliance.
  • Integration with CI/CD systems.

Example prompts

  • "Set up Semantic Release for my project."
  • "Configure Semantic Release to publish to npm."
  • "Automate the release process using Semantic Release."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a properly configured Git repository and package.json file.
  • Commit messages must adhere to Semantic Release's conventions (e.g., feat:, fix:, docs:).
