Prepare Reliable Software Releases

Release work can miss tests, version files, documentation, or publication steps. This skill provides a structured checklist for validation, version updates, builds, Git tags, and release notes.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "releasing-versions" from https://skillstore.io/skills/bpsai-releasing-versions.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/bpsai-releasing-versions/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "releasing-versions". Prepare release version 2.9.0 for review.

Expected outcome:

A release readiness report lists task status, test results, coverage, security scan status, documentation checks, build artifacts, and approval gates.

Using "releasing-versions". Check whether documentation is current before the next release.

Expected outcome:

The response identifies changelog coverage, README freshness, feature matrix status, and any template sync warnings.

Using "releasing-versions". Create a final handoff after the build succeeds.

Expected outcome:

The handoff summarizes completed checks, remaining warnings, generated package artifacts, and release commands that still require maintainer approval.

Security Audit

The static backtick alerts are mostly Markdown code fences or inline filenames, not Ruby execution. I confirmed four command blocks with real operational risk: build cleanup and package installation, Git commit and tag creation, Git push, and PyPI upload. No evidence found for prompt injection, credential exfiltration, or covert network behavior in SKILL.md.

These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

High
SKILL.md:242-245
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The block includes git push commands for the main branch and release tag. Pushing to a remote repository is a high-impact release action that requires explicit user approval.
High
SKILL.md:248-250
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The block includes a twine upload step that can publish release artifacts to PyPI. Publishing packages is an external side effect with supply-chain impact.
Medium
SKILL.md:166-178
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
This command block removes build directories, installs build tooling, builds the package, and force-reinstalls a wheel. These are expected release steps, but they can alter the workspace and Python environment if auto-executed.
Medium
SKILL.md:199-212
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The block stages all changes, creates a commit, and creates an annotated tag. This can capture unintended files or change repository history if run without review.

What You Can Build

Coordinate a release candidate

Run readiness checks, identify blockers, and prepare the repository for a named release version.

Prepare a Python package release

Update version files, validate builds, and prepare package artifacts for review.

Audit documentation before release

Check changelog, README, feature matrix, and template synchronization before final approval.

Try These Prompts

Check release readiness 
Use the releasing-versions skill to check whether this repository is ready for version X.Y.Z. Report blockers before making changes.
Prepare version updates 
Use this skill to prepare version X.Y.Z. Show each file that needs a version change before editing.
Validate docs and build 
Use this skill to verify release documentation, template sync, package build output, and install validation for version X.Y.Z.
Create release handoff 
Use this skill to produce a final release handoff for version X.Y.Z. Include blockers, warnings, artifacts, and commands awaiting approval.

Best Practices

  • Run validation commands before editing version files.
  • Review diffs and generated artifacts before any Git or package publication step.
  • Record warnings and maintainer decisions in the release handoff.

Avoid

  • Do not push tags or upload packages without explicit maintainer approval.
  • Do not bypass failed tests, failed coverage, or detected secrets.
  • Do not assume template differences are safe without reviewing the diff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill publish packages automatically?
No. It describes publication commands and recommends review before push or upload.
Which projects fit this skill best?
It fits PairCoder-style Python repositories with version files, changelogs, tests, and package build steps.
Can it update changelog entries?
Yes. It can guide changelog creation from archived tasks and expected release-note sections.
Does it replace security scanning?
No. It calls out secret and dependency scans, but maintainers must review the results.
Can it handle failed tests?
Yes. It stops the release workflow and instructs the user to fix failures before continuing.
Does it support custom release layouts?
Only partly. Custom paths or non-Python packaging may need adjusted commands and checks.
